📱 Metal Detector Locator – Magnetic Sensor Tool
Metal Detector Locator is an Android app that utilizes the device's built-in magnetometer sensor to help users detect changes in the magnetic field around them.
Magnetic Field Scanner
This app is designed as an observation tool, which can be used for:
✔ Sensor experiments
✔ Education
✔ Outdoor activities
✔ Mapping locations with magnetic anomalies
🔍 Key Features
✔ Real-time magnetic field change detection
✔ Displays location coordinates (Latitude & Longitude)
✔ Saves found locations to local storage (offline)
✔ Click on a location to open Google Maps
✔ The screen stays on while the app is in use
✔ Simple & easy-to-use interface
🧭 How It Works
This app uses the magnetometer sensor available on most Android smartphones to read the magnetic field values around the device.
Changes in magnetic values can occur due to:
✔ Ferromagnetic metals
✔ Electronic equipment
✔ Environmental magnetic fields
⚠️ Important Note
This app is NOT a professional metal detector
It cannot determine the type or depth of an object
Accuracy is highly dependent on the device's sensor
Readings may be affected by casings, magnets, or nearby electronic devices
