The success rate of metal detectors has a lot of variables. First, the metal detectors themselves have different degrees of accuracy and sensitivity. Some are quite sensitive, and others are less so. Secondly, the treasure hunters need luck, skill and good information about where metal might be hidden. All of these factors play into the success of a treasure hunt.

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.


What is americium's normal phase?

Americium's normal phase is solid at room temperature. It is a silvery-white metal that is radioactive and is commonly used in smoke detectors.


What was used in fire detectors before americium?

The first smoke detectors are based on optical principles - photoelectric detectors.


What are magnetic chip detectors?

Magnetic chip detectors are mostly used for aircraft. On one side is a magnet that pulls any metals that are magnetic and they bridge a connection setting off a light, or latch. They are used to show in pending failure of a part like engine or transmission. There are other types of detectors that do the same thing to non magnetic materials.


What factors affect the diffusion rate in solid metal crystals?

The diffusion rate in solid metal crystals is influenced by factors such as the temperature of the crystal (higher temperature increases diffusion rate), the presence of defects or imperfections in the crystal structure (such as vacancies or dislocations), and the composition of the metal crystal (alloying elements can affect diffusion rate). Additionally, the crystal structure and grain boundaries can also impact diffusion rates in solid metal crystals.
