[Mike Silver -gold]

A good friend of mine asked me to try and find out if it is legal to hunt the Dominican Republic. He is going there next week ,for a week. He beach hunts. Mostly sand. If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks all. Mike.

Sorry can't help with the D.R.. But my metal detecting buddy just got back from New Zealand and he says NZ is virtually wide open and almost untouched by metal detectorists. He found coin everywhere.

I went there on my honeymoon about 2 years ago. I didn't have a problem but he may want to stay close to the resorts if he plans on detecting at night. I was told by a local that you don't want to be out late at night too far from the resorts. I gave the resort security guy (stationed on the beach at the edge of the resort) a few dollars and he looked out for me and followed me around for a few hours. No one asked what I was doing and no one seemed to care.

Thanks guys. It seems okay. I will tell my buddy Tony to pack his detector. Mike.
