Probably yes. I have a titanium hip implant that always sets off the metal detectors at airport security. We are talking about a large implant going through and advanced detector. If you are using a basic detector and looking for a wedding ring or something small I would doubt if it would set it off. Titanium is a nonferrous metal.

Does a metal detector detect silver?

If you are talking about metal detector that you buy as a hobby for finding things then yes of course it will. But security metal detectors are adjusted so they aren't usually set off by something like earrings or a ring if that is what you mean. Though if you have a lump of silver in your pocket I imagine you would set off any metal detector. There are many instances of metal detectors detecting silver.

Do eyeglasses set off metal detectors?

Depends on how it's set up. Portal (walk-through) detectors like at airports are divided into several height zones. If the risk level is low, the sensitivity in the waist high zone and the head high zone is often reduced to avoid metal buttons and rivets like in jeans, and jewelry and glasses setting off the alarms.
