Metal Detector is an app which detects the presence of metal nearby by measuring the magnetic field value.
<< 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.
The accuracy depends entirely on your magnetic sensor (magnetometer). Note that it is affected by electronic equipment (TV, PC, microwave) due to electromagnetic waves.
How it works
• This app uses the built-in magnetic sensor (magnetometer) of your smart phone.
• First of all after running this app if your phone shows high reading then immediately keep it away from every electric devices to set it normal (0μT – 59μT).
• The normal Electromotive force (EMF) field level is about 49μT (micro Tesla) or 490mG (milli gauss); 1μT = 10mG. When any metal object like steel or iron is near, EMF reading will increase with a beep sound.
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.
As soon as you launch the app, Metal detector reading is shown to your on the screen.
Are you going on hunt to find gold, precious metals on beach or mountains? This may be the right tool for you.
Metal Detectors can be used as emf detector and emf sensor. The detector is electro magnetic field detector to detect metal and detect EMF reader. Metal detector meter in the app can also be used as EMF Meter.
