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.

How can you build a metal finder?
To build a metal finder, you can create a metal detector using a coil of wire, an oscillator circuit, a power source, and a speaker or indicator to detect changes in the magnetic field caused by metal objects. As the coil is moved over metal, it disrupts the magnetic field, causing the circuit to produce an audible signal or visual indication. There are many DIY tutorials available online to guide you through building a simple metal detector.
Is aluminium is metal?
Aluminium is generally considered as a metal, but it shows some properties of metalloid also.
Is aluminium foil is a metal?
This foil is also a metal.
Why aluminium is used in navigation purposes?
Aluminium is a metal with low density.
Is there iron in aluminium?
Aluminium is a metal (an element), not an alloy. This means that it's only made up of aluminium atoms. It has no other impurities in it. Aluminium ore is called bauxite. This has aluminium plus other substances in it, but aluminium on its own is a metal with just aluminium atoms in it.
What metal can a metal detector detect?
A metal detector can detect all types of metal....depending on in what type of soil it is in.
Can a metal detector detect a pill?
no
Can a metal detector detect tobacco?
Nope. Just metal...
Can a metal detector detect gold?
no there was no electricity i think
Will a metal detector detect a mobile phone in grass?
Yes the metal detector would but it is a large object and you would see it also.
Can a walk through metal detector detect rubber in your pocket?
No it cannot.
Can metal detectors detect money?
Basically No. But the detector have a camera then yes.
How deep can metal detectors detect?
Depends on the size of the metal detectors, and the size of the metal under the surface of the earth. The bigger the metal detector, the bigger the piece of metal, the deeper down it will detect.
Can a metal detector detect concrete?
Sure if there is enough metal like steel rebar
Can the Hand Held Meter Detector Security Check Metal Detector detect mercury in my home?
Only if the mercury is in large concentrated amounts.
Can a metal detector detect items under water?
Yes, you can use a metal detector in the rain if....... The detector is made for underwater use. If the metal detector is made for land use, put a cover over the electronics housing. Many of the top manufacturers sell rain-proof covers. Be sure your headphones are waterproof!
Can you set a metal detector so it will only detect lead?
Metal detectors are designed to detect all metals. However, many modern detectors have the ability to discriminate out metals of your choosing. You are basically setting the detector to remain silent when passing over the metals you don't want.
