Sure way to find out... pull out your detector and see what happens

Cyprus is in effect two countries since the Turkish invasion. Both don't allow detecting inland for antiquities even if you own the land.
Regarding the beach I would detect in the Turkish sector but would be very wary in the Greek sector.
If you did turn up something old/interesting it would have to be given up and there's a M.O.U. agreement between Cyprus and the States whereby the U.S. customs will demand importation paperwork if they find any Cypriot antiquities/old coins on you or in your luggage.

I think there's still a Whites dealer on the island (Cyprus Metal Detectors). I should look them up on the web and if their site doesn't say anything e-mail and ask what the current situation is.
