Metal Scanner turns your phone into a handy magnetic metal detector — find nails, screws, studs and pipes, measure EMF and locate the strongest source with a compass.
Detect magnetic metal, read EMF and locate the source — all with your phone's magnetic sensor.
Detect nearby magnetic (ferrous) metal and watch the strength meter react in real time.
Measure electromagnetic field strength (µT) with a clear, color-coded gauge and Low / Normal / Warning / Danger levels.
A compass-style locator points toward the strongest magnetic source near you.
Switch between metal, gold, silver, EMF and camera modes for different hunts.
Sound and vibration feedback when a stronger magnetic field is detected.
A camera-view mode overlays the detector on the live camera for a fun augmented hunt.
Every screen below is a real part of Metal Scanner.
Metal Scanner uses your phone's built-in magnetic (magnetometer) sensor to detect magnetic metal and measure electromagnetic fields. Move your phone closer to a source and watch the meter and gauge react in real time.
Because it reads magnetic fields, it detects magnetic (ferrous) metal and EMF — it cannot reliably detect non-magnetic metals like gold, silver, aluminium or copper, and it is not a professional instrument. It's built for curiosity and fun.
