Question:

Why does metal have to be brutal?

I like Nu-Metal, I'm sitting in my own little nu-metal world content as can be. Some death heads come knocking and have to force their 'brutal' on me and my friends, 90% of the stuff they called 'true metal' made me bored.They come back, seem to have this idea that brutality defines good metal music. I prefer aggression and I have yet to hear any death metal band as aggresive as KoRn or Slipknot. BQ: Brutal nu-metalBBQ: Aggresive Death Metal

Answer:

Most metal detectors work based on electrical inductance. When something that conducts electricity is close enough to affect the electromagnetic field generated by the sensing coil, the electronics detect a change in inductance and that triggers the alarm or the light or the sound. Metals, by definition, conduct electricity. Magnetic fields will also affect the inductance of a coil and there are things that conduct electricity that are not metals (example is graphite). Hg is a fine conductor so a metal detector will detect it.
It will go off in a metal detector, all coins are non magnetic so a metal detector would be useless. The only metal I am not sure about is mercury. They do have detectors that you can set to not pick up magnetic metals.
