Hello Oyat,

Welcome to the forum. Looks like your area has a lot of potential.

I want to use my Garret in Indonesia too, but I'm not sure about the law when it comes to metal detecting in Indonesia. Most websites, the few there are, are in Bahasa. Do you know what the rules say? Are we allowed to use our MD in public?

Looking forward to your feedback.

Regards,

Raf

hello raf thanks for visit my post and thanks very much hehe wish we got amazing item
u can detecting here of course it grey (because not have spesifik rule about our hobby ) but nothing happent i thinks even police see me they interest and ask for try to find gold :v , if u visit private beach or private area u just need talk owner /ask permission just say i wanna try looking coin most of them not problem with it , where palace u wanna visit bali ??
i know some law about metaldetecting for importir reseller here in ind they must have permit from chief police ( mostly metal detecting door ),
i bought in ebay BH no prob just must pay tax haha

if u flight make sure u ask information center first ( i thinks in local flight u can carry it in cabin without battre )
just little advice not detecting arround military base hehe , people will look at you because its not many metal detectoris here,
maybe kids will follow you and some people ask what are you doing and what it is , u just need smile and show coin they are willbe know u relic hunter .

but will looking again about law if i founds somethink willbe post here to you ,

sorry for bad english .

Hello Oyat,

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, I want to go MD in Riau province. I think it's as interesting as Aceh, because of the rich history and culture there.

Yes, MD is a grey zone in many Asian countries until now. I agree that it's important to ask for permission on private land. I guess it's not illegal outright to MD on public land.

But I'm not sure what the custom officers will say when I take my MD across the checkpoint. Mind you, I definitely will not be MD near army or navy bases

So have you found anything valuable so far? Are you using a pointer?

Good luck!

You don't have to apologize for your writing - seems you've gotten quite a good response from a number of folks today. Is nice to have new members from interesting areas. You being a member here opens up a new part of the world for the rest of us, even if we never get the chance to visit in person.

happy nice day sir, big sun here very hot day

 

[kcm]

Well, American history IS pretty fascinating! It's the current state of things that has me worried. ...See, I didn't even mention "politics". ...ooops!

 

[raf_sing]

Oyat, that's a fantastic idea! I will do just that. In fact, while I'm in Riau, I will give my MD to a few kids, who will be sure to observe me, so they use it for few minutes, and then I'll record that on my mobile too. Just in case.

Good stuff, sir

Wow, you actually found a VOC coin? You think you can take a picture of the coin to show us? Wah, so interesting, kerana saya Belanda lah

By the way, I found 2 British East India coins here, but they were corroded quite a bit Hopefully, the next coins will be better condition.

Yes, I've heard of penyengat. And of course Belitung, the treasure island.

Smart move on getting a pointer. It saves so much time. It's a wonderful little tool.

Keep us posted on your finds

Cheers.

Raf

dont forget if you hunting there soon post some pic here haha

 

[raf_sing]

Those are fantastic finds, Oyat! That older Dutch Guilder may have some silver in it. You actually found those coins? Wow!

As for the Jawi coin, it could very well originate from the Middle East, because there was plenty of trade between Asia and the Middle East even back then. And of course all the vessels would stop by the ports of call along the way, such as Aceh.

Very exciting stuff!

Sure, I'll post the pix of all my finds. Probably, you'll see lots of pull tabs and chewing gum wrappers, lol.

Leaving for Bintan tomorrow

Cheers.

Mas Belandah.
