Way to go on a great find. And I especially liked the discussion between TheDane and the fellow from England, and the
different countries' rules. Perhaps this post could be sent to some of our elected officials, and they might see a different
way of doing business. Your rules predate the pilgrims crossing the Atlantic, even Columbus sailing to discover the New
World. Wonder if the new kid on the block, aka The U.S.ofA, could learn something from our older cousins?
Again, great post.

Will reply to your question the best I know how.
First, in S. Korea, I only know of one Korean person who has a metal detector.....saw a program about him a couple of times on t.v. He hunts beaches with his wife.....she is the digger. He makes tons of finds on the beaches he hunts.
Certain areas are off-limits, such as old castle sites, old Buddhist temple ruins, etc. Anything in the seas are off-limits to hunting.
And, I am pretty sure that anything that might have particular historic interest must be reported. But, to who, I have no idea.
I do have one object that myself and another helper have found, that I will be turning in to the museum nearest the place where we found it.
As far as coins go, we did do some research on them, and there are no restrictions on hunting the older coins.
So, things are pretty open for hunting coins, and there are many many public hiking areas, and the country has not developed
the "fencing" mentallity. Much more open to people in the hills, then in the States......even tho all the mts are owned by someone.
That's the best I can do about S. Korea's laws on metal detecting. I do feel very comfortable and fortunate in being able to detect here.

Nice research, but fairly irrelavant when its being given up to the Museum. He gets a finders fee/reward instead.(I think)

Hello, to TheDane,\
I do live in S. Korea. I own a small business here, so do my metal detecting here. I am from the U.S., Oregon State, but am
only back in the States once every 4 or 5 years. So, I do not know too much about the rules of metal detecting there, except
that any government land seems to be off-limits. (Someone correct me if I am wrong.)
Of course, approval for any hunting on pvt. land. And any Indian sites are off-limits.......if that were strictly enforced, then
there would be almost no hunting allowed anywhere, as the Indians lived in/on the land for centuries before the Europeans
got there.
Archeologists try to restrict THing as much as they can. Not like they will ever be able to hunt/do digs on all the sites that they
want put off-limits. Just, they don't want any of us to dig. (Is "selfish" the right word?)
Anything of any value, normally, will end up in court, as ne-er-do-wells try to get as much of a cut of the pie as possible......
along with the lawyers, who use the law to line their pockets. (Forget ethics. Just, can I win the case, by hook or by crook.
O.J.......are you listening?)
Other than that, you will get some good - better than my - info about rules, etc.
