Using a metal detector here in Sweden requires a license from the government.

This is to prevent scavaging archeological artifacts.

This is true, they have however debated the issue and might loosen the restrictions:

https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/dokument/motion/forenkla-regelverket-for-anvandandet-av_H902681/

TL;DR and for non-swedes: the suggestion argues that hobbyists should be allowed to use metal detectors more freely. The motion was initally approved by Riksdagen but later voted against as there already work in progress on matter of simplifying the rules regarding metal detectors. So change might come, hopefully sooner than later
