What's more, you have the possibility to choose whether the device will vibrate or make a sound of your choice. In the 'Sensitivity' option, you change the detection sensitivity, making the Metal Detector more likely to find metals. 

We remind you that the higher the sensitivity, the more cell phone battery the application will be consumed.

What is the metal detector used for?

The identification of metals is done by banks, police, exchange offices, productions of shows and concerts, for example. 

In most cases, the purpose of detection is to identify weapons and dangerous objects, thereby ensuring safety. 

But as far as the Metal Detector app is concerned, it is only for simple everyday cases, nothing more serious than that. The developer himself says that some aluminum items are not identified, which shows the instability in the application.

To use it, just start detecting wires and other metallic objects. Plus, the user doesn't receive vibration notifications, that's great, isn't it?

What it will do is just a digital meter, where it will show the value of the magnetic fields and, as mentioned above, the graph that will be represented in real time. 

Unlike the first app option that only works on Android, Metal Detector by Gamma Play is easily found in stores Google Play Store and App Store.
