    I have never heard thats its not allowed. My parents live in San Felipe and have a metal detector and we have used it to search for things lost on the property, I also took it to the beach a couple times. Never found anything exciting. (its and old "white's unit I beleive)
    I am planning to purchase a good one in a year or so and most definatly have it with me San Felipe when I am down there for ha;lf year when retiring.

    I'm buying one in March for use in the States but will take it with me South given the feedback thus far!

    That's funny. All metal prices are climbing, casings maybe a treasure, LOL!
