Yes, My metal detector has no trouble getting a reading from tinfoil while using little or no discrimination. However if you turn up the discrimination then the tinfoil will not read. (unless it is a fair sized piece of tinfoil)

Up to what depth can a Bounty Hunter BHJS Junior Metal Detector indicate the presence of a metal object?

The depth a Bounty Hunter BHJS Junior Metal Detector can indicate presence of metal is similar to that of a professional metal detector. It can find coins up to 5 inches deep and some larger objects up to 3 feet deep.


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.

Which element is used in foil?

What kind of foil? The stuff you get in the supermarket to wrap sandwiches is mostly aluminum (although it contains other elements - both added intentionally and picked up from the recycling process that a lot of aluminum goes through) but "foil" is just paper-thin sheet metal so any metal malleable enough to roll down to a few thousandths of an inch thickness, and strong enough to hold together when it's rolled that thin, can be made into foil. There's gold foil, silver foil, copper foil, tin foil - yes, "tin foil" that's really made out of tin exists - lead foil, iron foil, steel foil...Aluminium is the metal used in foil. Its symbol is Al. Its atomic number is 13.

What is tin foil made out of?

Aluminium foil is made up of aluminum which is silvery white metal and less than 0.2 mm thick. This is fragile and easily damaged and laminated to other materials such as paper and plastic to make them useful.


How are coins found using a metal detector?

Coins are found by the detector sending a pulse which picks up metal signals. Now there are two types a low frequency and a pulse indicator, the low frequency is used to pick up deeper objects


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.
