Hi and welcome.

 I’ve moved your post into a new topic as the one you posted to is old. 

Metal detecting would be seen as treasurer hunting and is highly dangerous. I would not recommend this activity under any circumstance.

You would be very popular as everybody knows where there is buried gold to be found.

I agree if you are looking for treasure, you need a permit. The local barangay I checked and the detecting on beaches and such for coins/jewelry is no problem. Just be aware of your location. If you are near any war memorial, then a permit is required. City parks probably best to get a permit. Else the last 3 years I have had no problems. People sure do lose alot of coins. Probably make P50 an hour in change!
