The metal detector application uses your magnetic sensor devices to measure magnetic field values and turns any robot into a real metal detector. The data is displayed in μT (Microstala). 1μT = 10mG (Milli Gauss). The magnetic field in nature ranges from 25 to 65 μT (0.25 to 0.65 G). Any higher measurement is a pointer to the metals in the region. When there is metal in the area, the magnetic field increases. The application works best electromagnetic detection materials, such as iron and Dahab, and can detect non-magnetic materials such as aluminum. Application works best metal detection up to 15cm away.
Metal Detector app is simple to use, just open it and move it around. If the magnetic field values rise there is metal in the area. Accuracy of the app is entirely dependent on the magnetic sensor in your device and is affected by electrical equipment such as TVs, PCs… due to electromagnetic waves.
If the app does not work as it should then the problem is in your magnetic sensor. Maybe your device does not have one. Or try to initialize the sensors by pointing your phone up and rotate it in a figure 8 pattern. Remove magnetic covers from your device for accurate readings. Magnetic covers will influence the magnetic sensor in your Android device. If your device's case contains metal elements remove the case before using the app.
