    I just ordered a Garrett AT Pro, hopefully will have it next week. I'm currently in Korea so plan to put it to work on beaches and some mountain trails to start with. I've had one of my Korean engineers check on regulations for use for me and it looks like there are few unless you find something historic. I figure I'll be finding more beer and soju caps than coins but am looking to fill some time when I'm not fishing.

    If I actually start finding interesting things I will start a new thread.

    I've looked at some metal detecting forums and Europe finds just blow my mind on how old some of them are...such a rich history.

    Used to do this a few yrs ago in the uk with a bit of sucsess in the form of roman,celtic and hammered coins. Lots of artifacts also.
    We were detecting in a local agri college one sunday morn and found a small hoard of Elizabeth 1st,charles 1st and james the 1st coins which must have been in a purse as there were 2 silver buckles and some other ornate silver stuff there also.
    Beaches are also good after a storm for rings and cash,there was one beach in dorset i found 16 gold rings and a couple of soverigns in a month.

    Used to have a Tesoro silver sabre 2 in the uk,the restrictions here are not good. You need a licence for a start and anything found on private property you need give 30% to land owner and if public lands the government get 50%
    I should imagine the hills above Valencia would be OK for ww2 artifacts as a lot of the stuff in the museum in Valencia was found with a detector.
