About this app

Metal Detector is in the 3rd set of the Smart Tools collection. EMF detector

<< Metal Detector apps require a magnetic sensor (magnetometer). If this app does not work properly, please check the specifications of your device. >>

This app measures magnetic field with an embedded magnetic sensor.
The magnetic field level (EMF) in nature is about 49μT(micro tesla) or 490mG(milli gauss); 1μT = 10mG. When any metal(steel, iron) is near, magnetic field level will increase.

Usage is simple: Open the app, and move it around. The magnetic field level will constantly fluctuate. That's it!

You can find electrical wires in the walls (like a stud detector) and iron pipes in the ground.

A lot of ghost hunters had downloaded this app, and they had experimented as a ghost detector.

The accuracy depends entirely on your magnetic sensor (magnetometer). Note that it is affected by electronic equipment (TV, PC, microwave) due to electromagnetic waves.

* Main features:

I'm actually so shocked. this isn't some stupid fake prank app, this actually does work. My sister lost a necklace and I was able to find it, in-between the couch cushions with this tool. It looks like it uses the phone's antenna, and I got higher readings putting metal near the corner of my phone. the different styles and sounds are cute, but the main purpose is so much better than going and buying a whole metal detector when you can do it with a 0$ app. 5 stars!!

Ok. So I turn it on for the first time,and after calibrating, set it on the couch beside me to see if it detects the metal...which it does nicely. Then as I pick it up, it goes instantly up to 110, then just as fast falls back down to about 66. I've replicated the same movements several times, and it never goes past 70. Not sure what it picked up for those few moments, but it sure made my cat a bit nervous. I have to give 5 stars just for the weirdness, which I very much enjoyed.
