Interesting, ill try do some digging for you for some information in Norway

Didn't read all the replies but you should consider legal issues, I also have a metal detector and in my country you cannot really go digging for ww2 things wherever you please especially in mass graves, battlefields (most of which are known and protected by law as historical/archaeological sites) some people of course still dig there but they often get caught and pay the price one way or another... (by this I mean there are still many bombs/mines in that kind of places) and I imagine laws in Denmark are much stricter so you might need a license to be allowed to use a metal detector at all. Generally the safest places are beaches where I would highly suggest you to start.

You're allowed to go with a metal detector in Denmark. The rules are very different in the countries around us. In some places, the use of a metal detector is prohibited, but a special permit is required elsewhere. In Denmark, however, there are certain rules that must be observed.

Here you can get a brief guide on how you should and should relate as a detector manager.

YOU MUST:
You need to be allowed to go to the land you want with the land owner. If the owner is public, you must contact the relevant authority, eg. a municipality's technical management. Special rules apply to the state's land, which is managed by the Danish Nature Agency.
You must hand the found objects to the local museum (or the National Museum), if you believe that there may be talk of "danefæ."
YOU MAY NOT:
You must not go with a detector on protected ancient monuments, or closer than two meters from the protection boundary. See if an ancient monument is protected by the Danish Cultural Agency's database Fund and the ancient monuments
You must not excavate a find area, including digging deeper than the plow layer.

Yeah. I saw that website too.
We have obviously already read up on the laws, that was the first thing we did.
