Metal Finder & metal detector app using your phone's magnetic sensor with ease

Features & Capabilities

Metal Finder transforms your Android phone into a portable metal detector using the built-in magnetometer. Ideal for treasure hunters, hobbyists, and DIYers, the app offers Graph Mode for detailed magnetic field visualization and Meter Mode for instant target detection. Visual meters, live graphs, audio and vibration alerts, and a depth indicator help you locate coins, jewelry, pipes, wiring, nails and other metallic objects with ease.

Using Metal Finder is simple: select a detection mode, sweep your phone 2–4 inches above the search area, and watch for signal spikes or listen for alerts. Customize sensitivity, sound, and vibration in settings, or enable Gold Tuning for enhanced detection of precious metals. The app is user-friendly, regularly updated, and works best on devices with quality magnetometers — a convenient, affordable alternative for casual searches and exploratory use.

Recent reviews

Very subtle indication that there might be a wire there, it could be a nail, might even be a stud!?🧐 it could be a dog hair stuck in your paint! My 22 year old stud finder with a tired battery in it, does a better job! I know it said wire finder, but it didn't find anything really! At this point I have 2 options, I can see if I can afford a infrared unit(?), or start cutting holes in the wallboard, all over the place! D
