Metal Detectors
Seems strange but we have heard that Metal Detectors are illegal in Mexico. Is that true?

Since removing 'national treasures' is illegal for foreignors, perhaps treasure hunting devices are, too?
However, Bob & Susan are correct in that the are simply electronic toys... I doubt you will have a problem... How often are you searched going ito
Mexico, anyway?

Here's a picture of a detecor and my favorite operator at Camp Gecko BOLA. A few pesos and many lead weights were found on the beach along with alot
of metal junk. We have never had a problem.

Funny you mention them..
I brought an old Radio Shack version down and left it in the care of Luis, a worker I hired. He swears there is gold and coins and whatnot to be found
in Mulege. He hinted that a stash of coins was swept off into an area where he could locate them with a detector. He offered me media. I said, "If
they are gringo coins, sure!" Time will tell.
Oh, and btw, it was in plain view at the regular chkpoints.
