metal detectors

Metal detectors are electronic devices that sense the presence of metallic objects underground or within other materials. They work by generating a magnetic field through a coil, which, when it encounters metal, causes a change in that magnetic field. The detector's circuitry interprets these changes and emits an audio or visual signal to alert the user. They are used in various applications, from treasure hunting and archaeology to security screening. Effective metal detection depends on factors like the type of metal, depth, and soil conditions, making them versatile tools for locating buried or hidden metal objects.
