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.

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

Ratings and reviews

I needed a metal detector to find the pins that mark the corners of my lot so I could resolve a property line dispute with a cranky old neighbor. After downloading several metal detector apps, I found this one to be the most accurate and have the best user interface. I probably looked a little crazy sweeping my cell phone, taped to a wooden pole, back and forth in the backyard, but in less than 10 minutes, I found and exposed the 3 pins I was looking for. Check and mate! Thanks metal detector.

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.

Surprisingly cool! Needed to find wires in the wall - the app helped. Also, it located the pipes inside too. The only challenge was I knew the wires and pipes were somewhere in here; if not that, it would have been an issue to actually trace them. For the latter, the app needs a feature to plot high magnetic density areas on a scheme so that you could guess what looks like a wire or a plumbing.
