Metal detectors can detect a wide range of metals, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals contain iron, while non-ferrous metals do not contain iron. The type of metal that a metal detector can detect depends on its design, operating frequency, and sensitivity.
Most metal detectors can detect common metals such as:
Aluminum
Brass
Copper
Lead
Nickel
Stainless steel
Tin
Zinc
In addition to these metals, some metal detectors can also detect other types of metals, including:
Gold
Silver
Platinum
Titanium
Cobalt
Palladium
However, it’s important to note that the sensitivity of the metal detector can vary depending on the type of metal. For example, some metal detectors may be more sensitive to non-ferrous metals like gold and silver, while others may be more sensitive to ferrous metals like iron and steel.
