On Earth, a constant magnetic field is present of about 49μT(micro tesla), but that that field is different around metallic objects. In this way, an app that shows the power of the surrounding magnetic field can be used to display values for other objects.
For Metal Detector to work users, just need to install it, calibrate the device using the instructions provided, and get the phone really close to metallic objects. In theory and depending on how good the magnetic sensor is in your phone, you should be able to detect electrical wires inside walls or iron pipes in the ground.
It’s worth noting that the magnetic field is influenced by all kinds of electronic apparel, so make sure that you’re far away from microwave ovens, for example.
