Metal Detecting in the Central African Republic

I could not verify a clear national rule specifically allowing or prohibiting ordinary hobby metal detecting in the Central African Republic. The country has a Cultural Charter and a framework for protecting cultural heritage, but these sources do not establish a general detecting permission or a straightforward permit for visiting hobbyists. I would contact the ministry responsible for culture about the exact location and purpose before making plans. An unclear rule should never be treated as permission to search, dig or take historical objects away.
