The metal detector is device to spot hidden metal. It works on Th principle of disturbance in magnetic filed. The detector has magnetic coil through which an alternating current is passed producing magnetic field. When the hidden metal comes within the range of this field then the eddy current is produced in this metal creating its own magnetic field which is detected by metal detector.

∙ 12y agoThe more you spend on one the better it'll work, (et: find more stuff.).. I bought one for ,like, $400.00 and it works fine, I find lots of stuff at the beach. Coins, watches, rings, things that came off necklaces and bracelets. And ,of course, those pull-tabs and gum wrappers and bottle caps. I've yet to find that diamond ring or gold watch, but I'm still looking and hoping. It's great fun and good exercize,, anyway you look at it, gets ya out of the house off the computer. I live just 12 miles from the (ocean) beach so i havent tried using it anywhere else.

∙ 11y agoAbsolutely. Although minerals in water tend to disrupt the magnetic signature so depth is shortened dramatically in water with high iron content. Also detectors with metal specific detection may be slightly less reliable

∙ 12y agoMagnetism enables metal detectors. Electrically induced magnetism can be specifically broadcast and when recieved can be determined for distrubance (metal) and a sound is played (generally). Electricity is needed as is magnetism. Those two things are why metal detectors work.

When was Kellyco Metal Detectors created?
Kellyco Metal Detectors was created in 1955.
Which stores sell the best white metal detectors?
There are many great stores that sell quality white metal detectors. These include Regton, OKM Metal Detectors, Kelly Co Detectors, as well as retailers on the Amazon website.
What are facts about metal detectors?
they detect metal
How do Metal detectors discriminate metals?
Metal detectors work by emitting electromagnetic signals outward. When those electromagnetic signals bounce back to the receiver, the machine knows that there is an object in that location and alerts the user.
What is the average temperature of the water at the ma in hot springs?
Metal detectors have been a staple of airport security for decades. These tall, boxy metal detectors are meant to be walked through and, theoretically, they will detect any metal objects that pass through them. However, if this was the case, then there wouldn't be any need for the hand-held metal detectors that travel authority agents and security guards usually have. Knowing how the larger metal detectors work, and their failings, can help take the confusion out of any misunderstanding.
What is the science behind metal detectors?
Metal detectors use one of three technologies. Either very low frequency, pulse induction, and Beat-free oscillation. Metal detectors work by creating an electromagnetic feild. This is done by running current through a coil at the head of the metal detector (the part you point at the ground). When there is metal, the changes in the magnetic feild are picked up by a second receiver coil.
Are minelab metal detectors battery operated or rechargeable?
Minelab Metal Detectors currently makes their modern metal detectors rechargeable which is a lot better for the environment. The ones that take batteries die easier anyways.
How deep can metal detectors detect?
Depends on the size of the metal detectors, and the size of the metal under the surface of the earth. The bigger the metal detector, the bigger the piece of metal, the deeper down it will detect.
What is the side effect of metal detectors?
The side effect of metal detectors is that it prevents the use of weapons and it also prevents violent crimes. The side effect of metal detectors is that it prevents the use of weapons and it also prevents violent crimes.
How can you use the word detectors in a sentence?
People use metal detectors to keep you safe.
Where can you purchase minelab metal detectors?
Minelab metal detectors can be purchased from your local metal detector shop or metal detector specializing department store or through online shopping destinations such as Overstock or Amazon.
Do roots affect metal detectors?
YES
