BuffaloRescue Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 HI Im i chiang mai. Long story but I've lost some gold in a river Has anyone got a metal detector (waterproof) and can hire it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMKiwi Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hmmmm, I think you may be hard pressed to find one. I seem to remember that they are outlawed in this country.... but then I could be wrong. I`ve never seen them in any shops during my travels which in itself is a bit strange. Im sure if they were about that a lot of Thais would be out in the rice fields right now looking for lost treasure/gold. Best of luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Does the OP intend to dive in and walk along the bottom of a river searching for gold? If so, I am curious to know how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's under the silt, it ain't long gone Saw it on FB. Sounded like wife or gf tantrum to me, but might be wrong..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haybilly Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I really don't think that they are illegal here--many years ago I had one for underwater use and used it while snorkeling around Phuket--I met 2 or 3 other Thai guys doing much the same--even bumped into one of them at Prachuap Kiri Khan a while later--my device flew back to UK many years ago--otherwise I would gladly have rented it out.

faranginUTH Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi, I have an underwater metal detector for sale, it can be seen on baht&sold or you can contact me via email. As for renting it, could be done but it wont be cheap as (deposit of full payment), shipping will be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
