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
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.
