Metal detectors generally do not detect Mercury because they are designed to identify ferrous and non-ferrous metals through changes in electromagnetic fields. Mercury is a liquid metal at room temperature and does not produce a strong signal for typical metal detection. However, specialized detection equipment, such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, can be used to identify mercury and other elements in various materials.
What else can I help you with?
What are facts about metal detectors?
they detect metal
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 it that triggers metal detectors to go off?
Metal detectors are triggered to go off when they detect metal objects in the vicinity.
Can metal detectors detect objects in body cavities?
they mite
Can metal detectors detect mobile phones in a jacket?
yes
Can metal detectors detect money?
Basically No. But the detector have a camera then yes.
How are metal detectors used in an archaelogical studies?
there are traces of iron in the bone so the metal detecters can detect them :-)
Can precious metals be found outdoors using metal detectors.?
I have researched this topic and found that you can indeed find precious metals when using a metal detector. These metal detectors will detect items such as silver, iron, metal, gold and platinum.
Any metal detector available which detect iron and not aluminium?
In general, most metal detectors have the capability to detect both iron and aluminum since they both conduct electricity. However, adjusting the sensitivity settings on some metal detectors may allow you to differentiate between the two types of metals to some extent. Specialized metal detectors for industrial purposes may offer more specific discrimination between different metals.
Will heat change a rock so a metal detector will detect it?
No. Metal detectors actually detect anything that can conduct electricity. To make metal from rocks you would have to smelt them, and this requires both a lot of heat, and something like carbon to reduce the ore. However most rocks don't even have any ore so heat cannot change rocks so that metal detectors can detect them.
Can you set a metal detector so it will only detect lead?
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.
Why do I always set off airport metal detectors?
There are several reasons why you may consistently set off airport metal detectors. Common reasons include having metal implants, wearing metal jewelry or accessories, or carrying metal items in your pockets or clothing. It is also possible that the sensitivity of the metal detectors at the airport is set high, making it more likely for them to detect even small amounts of metal on your person.
