I have been to Turkey a few times, and there are a lot of ruins there but he had better get the right permission. I never seen one detector on any of the beaches, let alone Ancient sites.I agree with the above post in part; for searching out a real treasure you wouldn't need a metal detector. Again, I suggested one simply to find the Roman (i.e. "stuff") and earlier that has proved to exist around that mountain. Sure you'll find new stuff, we all find new stuff, but you'll be detecting an area where far fewer people detect than what many countries are used to, and that will be fun.
p.s. rudimentary research states Mount Erciyes was occupied at one time by the Romans.
