Nice haul! Did you bring all that back in your luggage? What part of Mexico? No problems with bringing your detector down there? I've heard some horror stories of people losing them to various authorities or having to bribe someone to get them back.

brought finds back in my carry on - they did stop me thru security on way out
got women at the xray - they didnt know what they had - called over about 8 guys
they confiscated a dive weight i had - said it could be used as a weapon - the bag of coins could have
been used as a weapon too = they saw all the finds but kept asking each other in spanish - "where's the gold?"
I knew what they were saying and acted dumb - my gal had gold and silver in her pocket book and they passed her thru
not my job to tell them anything - you just have to make sure you dont have any screw drivers or knives or sharp objects
I actually had a huge jig lure with a big hook and I thought they would throw a fit about that - but they could not see it thru all the other stuff
never have had a major prob with machines
I was in the Riviera Maya area
there are beaches in eco areas and archeo areas that you might have a prob if you tried using one
