They are not illegal. Just forbidden in two of the country's provinces, where there's a lot of archaeological precious metal in the ground.

In the remaining provinces, a member of the public may apply to the County Archaeologist to use a metal detector for a limited time in a limited area. Any finds of gold, silver or copper alloy must be offered to the State for a reward.

The reason for these restrictions is a fear that looters will remove archaeological objects without documenting their find spots.
