Types of Metal Detectors: Handheld Metal Detectors : These are portable devices often used by security personnel for screening individuals. They are handheld and can be moved over a person's body or bags to detect metal. Walk-Through Metal Detectors : These are large devices that individuals walk through to be scanned for metal objects. They are often used in airports, stadiums, schools, and other high-security areas.
