Hand-held metal detectors are handy tools for finding concealed metal objects or objects containing metal underground. With a sensor probe that sweeps the search area, these devices emit a tone to signal the presence of hidden treasures. Metal detectors operate using a magnetic field generated by an oscillator, which produces an alternating current through a coil. When metal objects introduce eddy currents, they create their own magnetic field. A secondary coil, acting as a magnetometer, detects changes in the magnetic field. Developed in the 1960s, industrial metal detectors have been used for mineral prospecting, landmine detection, construction (locating steel rebar and pipes), and archaeology.
