Detector

Most mine detectors are metal detectors that are generally unsuitable for use in buildings that have any metal content in their construction, in household items or debris. There is a very small number of handheld detectors that can discount this type of background metal contamination. It should not be assumed however that detectors will not work and their use should be tested until proven that they provide no value to the task, without placing the searcher in any danger.
