Plan on bringing my Metal Detector to my timeshare on a Caribbean Island this year. Lets say, I get lucky and find a number of coins and rings. When I arrive back at U.S. Customs, returning to the U.S. - conversation will be ?
Tom_in_CA said:The few random cars they pull aside to search, trust me, they're looking for drugs, not a few gold rings or gold coins. Now I suppose if you had your entire back of your SUV filled with gold bars ........... there might be an issue. But other than that, they're looking for illegal immigrants, drugs, etc....
Not sure why ships or planes would be any different. I mean ......... is someone really going through your underwear bag, shaving kit, etc... looking for a few rings? I mean, didn't your wife bring several different ones, for each night of the week, when she came there in the first place?
