Are you going to Sandals? I'd leave the detector at home.

If not, the government there has a no remove policy and I think it covers everything on dry land and under the water too.

I brought mine to Sandals in Antigua and they were very nice about it. No problems other than staying on the bottom!
Have fun.
Customs was no prob either. Except they took my RUM!!

but i am staying at a villa...
am i allowed to bring it there and metal detect??
it's on a private beach/resort

i bought a hardcase for a golf bag at Spots Authority a while back for around that amount. i can put 2 detectors in there, scoops, and just throw a few towels in there to keep everything from rattling around.

will antigua have a problem with me metal detecting??
and also the airport??
never traveled with a M.D.

Again, customs was fine on both ends, they knew it was a MD and while they did take it out in the US, there was no delay. Don't pass up the opportunity and sit there on the beach wondering, "what if"
When you get there just let them know you look for old coins and to whom do you turn in anything of value??
Just don't find anything

You should not have any problem detecting on Antigua. I never did.
