Metal Detector EMF detects the presence of metal nearby. Metal detectors measure magnetic field value using a magnetic sensor that is built into your smartphone. Now You can easily find metallic objects that are hidden underground, behind walls etc. , or be a treasure hunter or ghost hunters, also see a reading trend through the graph. Simple app in your device called Gauss Meter are used for measuring the Earth's magnetic field but can't detect silver, gold, copper coins (non-ferrous - no magnetic field). This Magnetometer app require a magnetic sensor otherwise does not work.

Sound and vibrations can be turned on and off so you don't miss any spikes. We have included a light option to turn your devices flashlight on and off. Which is ideal for paranormal investigations who wish to ghost hunt in the dark. X, Y, Z readings also help show the axis on which the strongest readings are being detected. Features - Current EMF reading displayed - Previous EMF readings are shown on the graph - The minimum and maximum readings are displayed - Toggle for Mirotesla (uT) and Milligauss (mG) - Flashlight can be turned on and off - Large coloured lights show EMF reading strength - Sound and vibration can be turned on and off - Screen will not lock whilst in use - Well-presented UI - X,Y,Z axis displayed This app uses the built-in magnetic sensor (compass) inside your device. And displays the live reading with a line of coloured LEDs, giving you a clear view of EMF levels. You can switch between units of measurement Mirotesla (uT) and Milligauss (mG) quickly and easily with a toggle button. You can use this application to quickly measure and magnetism and electromagnetism, earths geomagnetic field, ghosts and electrical devices. It can be used as a detector for EMF, magnets, metals, ghosts and paranormal entities. IMPORTANT: This app uses your devices built in magnetic sensor.
