A metal detector has a motion sensor such as an accelerometer to determine direction, speed, duration and acceleration of search loop motion. The search loop motion information from the motion sensor is utilized in mode selection, signal processing, target analysis, and information display.

Metal detector with motion sensing

Metal detectors use graphical displays offering many analysis methods and user options which were not possible before. The new graphical detector displays allow new ways to display target information that enable better methods of analyzing and viewing target data. Graphical detectors have menu structures with dozens of operating parameters which can be modified by the user. Some of these parameters are able to be changed on-the-fly without having to suspend detector operation.
