Metal detectors are designed to detect all metals. However, many modern detectors have the ability to discriminate out metals of your choosing. You are basically setting the detector to remain silent when passing over the metals you don't want.

How do you get metal through metal detectors?

In general, you can't get metal through metal detectors. Only the smallest bits of metal will not cause a metal detector to alarm. If the sensitivity of the detector is set too high, it may be possible to get a small piece of metal past the detector, but that is something that cannot be counted on.


How do I tell what type of metal my metal detector is responding to?

Metal detectors are different and my main advice would be to look into the manual of the metal detector you purchased. Sometimes there are settings where you can configure your detector to only respond to certain metal characteristics. If you got a really basic metal detector one of the prime methods is to simply investigate by digging up the object in question.

Can metal detectors damage credit cards?

It takes some strong gauss to wipe a credit card. Most metal detectors only detect ferrous materials they do not emit much gauss as they only need to detect a distrubance in the gauss lines to give you a reading on the detetctor. So the answer is no. You also should not be able to FIND credit cards with a metal detector - let alone mess with the magnetic strip on them.
