Does not matter where you are these days watch out. See anything that might get you into trouble stop what you are doing and step back. The example below they were in a quiet remote set of islands i will admit hiring locals was probably their undoing. I have yet to find out what happened to them. They may of be charged with illegal mining by the sounds as was an odd place to be looking for world war 2 loot.who knows. Just be careful. Good Luck.

ZAMBALES, Philippines – Four Japanese treasure hunters and their 13 Filipino workers were arrested on Thursday, May 31, 2018 for unauthorized treasure hunting in Capones Island in Barangay Pundakit, San Antonio town.

Senior Inspector Jonathan Bardaje, San Antonio police office-in-charge, identified the suspects as Domyo Ukari, 56, of Kagoshima, Japan; Shinchi Kawano, 44, of Kanagawa; Mori Eizo, 60, of Tokyo; and a 15-year Japanese boy from Saitama.

The Filipino workers are Lloyd Marlo Cerezo, Arnold Argel, Rexy Maycong, Rodrigo Castro, Luis Cerezo, Lymar Cerezo, Reggie Maycong, Noel Flores, Jason Ebalane, Gregorio Domingo, Effer Tolentino, Espiridon Gumacao, and Ronald Gonzales.

Bardaje said that at around 5 am on Thursday, May 31, a joint operation of San Antonio MPS, the 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company (Zambales PFMC), and the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) was mobilized to check alleged illegal mining in Capones Island.

You don't need no stinking permit, go ahead and search. If you find something valuable, don't tell anybody just keep it.

Make sure you have the phone number of the nearest U.S. Embassy for when they give you your one phone call.

Why are you here on TNET asking boadbrush legal questions?

Forget all of the BS **** house lawyers posting here, you should know the laws and permits required for where you are searching.

As Don noted, there are many, many areas where you cannot even search without a permit.

If you can't convince some of the hardcore THers on here of your innocent intentions, how do you think it will look when caught offshore with a mag?

You had best follow the advice of Don Mackay! Ignore it and choose a fools path. He knows what he is talking about. You don't.
