The Metal Detector app, also referred to as metal finder or magnetic field detector, serves as a free tool that transforms your device into a functional metal detector by leveraging the built-in magnetic sensor. This application enables users to detect surrounding magnetic fields, electronic signals, or metals such as steel and iron. When there is a nearby metal source, the readings on the device will increase. It can function as a body scanner, electromagnetic field meter, wire locator, pipe identifier, or even a ghost detection scanner.

Many ghost hunters resort to using the Metal Detector app (EMF meter) for supernatural detection, as they assert that ghosts affect magnetic fields. I remain uncertain about this claim but welcome any insights on its validity.

Setting: 

-Move your device around the area where you suspect there might be metal objects. The app will react to changes in the magnetic field. As you move your device, watch the gauge and graph. A significant spike in the graph or a high reading on the gauge may indicate the presence of metal.

- The application presents the magnetic field measurements in different units: µT (micro tesla), mG (milli Gauss), or G (Gauss). The conversion rates are as follows: 1 µT equals 10 mG; 1000 mG equals 1 G. Typically, natural magnetic fields range from approximately 30µT to 60µT, or 0.3G to 0.6G, indicating that if metal is present nearby, the reading must exceed 60µT or 0.6G for accurate detection.

-You can adjust the sensitivity of the detector within the app settings to better suit your environment and the type of metal you're looking for.

- Keep your device away from electronic devices that emit strong magnetic fields, such as radios, laptops, and microwaves, as they can interfere with the app's accuracy.

Cautions:

• Not all devices are equipped with a magnetic sensor. Please verify this feature in your phone's specifications. If your device lacks this component, no metal detecting applications will operate successfully on it.

• The precision of this app relies heavily on the quality and functionality of the device's magnetic sensor (magnetometer).

• Electronic devices like laptops, televisions, microphones, or radio signals may interfere with the accuracy of the magnetic sensor and the overall metal detection experience. It is advisable to avoid using the app in such environments.

• This free metal detector app cannot identify non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, and aluminum, as these materials do not produce a magnetic field.

Main features of the metal finder app include:

• User-friendly and clear interface

• Supports three measurement units: µT (micro tesla), mG (milli Gauss), and G (Gauss)

• Can be utilized as a ghost detection tool depending on personal beliefs

• Magnetic field detection capabilities

• Sound effects that correspond to increases in reading strength

    The device works well for detecting iron, especially cast iron. The magnetic detection on my phone is accurate and properly calibrated. I tested it above the stove with cast iron grates, and it responded perfectly, showing readings over 70 at a distance of 12 inches. When I moved it over the dishwasher and tin masher, the readings stayed between 28 and 32. An added feature would be helpful, like a text link explaining its functionalities. Many new apps lack that guidance these days.

    This app gets a zero-star review. One star is all I can give since zero isn't an option. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but I tried it next to metal devices and saw readings in the high forties. When I tested it with only plastic devices, it dropped to the low forties. The numbers stayed between 43 and 48 at best, even though the app shows different max and min ranges. A tutorial at the start would really help users figure out how to use it correctly.

    Smartphones are truly amazing. They hold so much power in our hands. Communication, entertainment, and information all wrapped up in one small device. The apps offer everything from games to fitness tracking. Photos taken with incredible quality. It's like having a mini-computer everywhere we go. The convenience is astounding. People can connect instantly across the globe. Remember when a phone only made calls? Now it feels like magic what they can do!
