Metal Detector is a utility application for Android that leverages your device's built-in magnetic sensor to detect nearby metals. By measuring changes in the magnetic field, typically between 30 to 60 µT, the app can identify the presence of metallic objects such as steel or iron. Users can utilize this tool to uncover hidden metal inclusions in various materials or locate buried metal objects. It is essential to ensure that users are away from electronic devices like computers or TVs, as these can interfere with the magnetic sensor's readings.

Calibration of the app is straightforward, requiring users to hold the device and move it in a figure-eight pattern before placing it on a flat surface. This process ensures accurate readings for effective metal detection. Metal Detector is user-friendly and accessible, making it a practical choice for anyone interested in exploring their surroundings for hidden metals.

Developer’s Description

Metal detector is an app which detects the presence of metal nearby.

Metal detector is an app which detects the presence of metal nearby. Metal detectors are useful for finding metal inclusions hidden within objects, or metal objects buried underground.

This app measures magnetic field using a magnetic sensor that is built into your device.

The magnetic field level (EMF) in nature is about 30 to 60 µT(micro tesla). When any metal(steel, iron) is near, magnetic field level will increase.

Make sure you are not around your computer or TV or Other electronic devices which can interfere with the readings of the magnetic sensor making Metal detector less powerful that it can be.

Features:

Detection of metals around the phone through the magnetic field

Alarm activation when magnetic field crosses a limit

Settings for alarm limit, beep sound and vibration

Turn on/ turn off beep sound

Turn on/ turn off vibration

Steps of calibration:

Hold your device in your hand, wave it in the air in the pattern of a figure-eight a few times and then set the device back down on a flat surface.

** Metal Detector cannot detect gold, silver and coins made by copper. They are classified as non-ferrous metal that has no magnetic field.

** Metal Detector require a magnetic sensor (magnetometer). If this app does not work properly, please check your android device specifications.
