Abstract
Metal Detector is a security device which is used for detecting metals which
can be harmful, at various places like Airports, shopping malls, cinemas, etc.
Previously we have made a very simple Metal detector without a microcontroller,
now we are building the Metal Detector using Arduino. In this project, we are
going to use a coil and capacitor which will be responsible for the detection of
metals. Here we have used an Arduino UNO to build this metal detector project.
Wherever this detector detects any metal near it, the buzzer starts beeping very
rapidly.
The simplest form of a metal detector consists of an oscillator producing
an alternating current that passes through a coil producing an alternating magnetic
field.

His valuable and skillful guidance, assessment and suggestions from time to
time improved the quality of work in all respects. We would like to take this
opportunity to express our deep sense of gratitude towards his, for his invaluable
contribution in completion of this Project Stage.

Introduction
Metal Detector is a security device which is used for detecting metals which can
be harmful, at various places like Airports, shopping malls, cinemas, etc.
Previously we have made a very simple Metal detector without a microcontroller,
now we are building the Metal Detector using Arduino. In this project, we are
going to use a coil and capacitor which will be responsible for the detection of
metals. Here we have used an Arduino UNO to build this metal detector project.
This is very interesting project for all electronics lovers. Wherever this detector
detects any metal near it, the buzzer starts beeping very rapidly.
The metal detectors are used to detect the weapons like guns, knives
in the airports, and also used in the construction industry to detect steel
reinforcing bars in wires, concrete, pipes buried in floors and walls.

4 Component Description
Chapter 4
There are different types and models of metal detectors, but the most
commonly used detectors are the hand held models and walk through
models.
With the help of a hand held detector, security personnel can physically
detect if a person is carrying a metallic object. On the other hand, walk
through metal detectors are much quicker, and they alert the security
personnel of dangerous objects such as knives or weapons.
5.2 Disadvantages:-
As for the disadvantages of using any type of metal detector, they cause
privacy concerns. A lot of people can find it uncomfortable while passing
through a detector scanning them for potentially dangerous metallic
objects. In some cases it is possible that they ask to be manually searched
when the rules of safety allow such actions.
Also, in this advantageous medical era, we can find a lot of medical reasons
why some person might have metal on his/hers body. Sometimes, metal
devices can be surgically installed inside the person’s body which will
cause the alarm to be set off each time that person walks through a metal
detector. In many cases it is possible for the security personnel to see on
their computers that the metal object that caused the alarm is actually a
harmless tool and not a weapon.
5.3 Applications:-
Devices are suitable for use in commercial or professional applications.
Devices are use to detect land mines, unexploded munitions, or bombs.
Devices are designed to detect metal objects and explosives for security
purposes
• For every project and model needs updating in it. The future of the metal
detector market looks promising with opportunities in the government,
commercial, consumer, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and textile
industries.
