Guys, I have a query. Do metal detectors have the ability to detect stainless steel?

Well, it really depends on the type and sensitivity of the metal detector. Some are designed to be more sensitive to certain types of metals like gold or iron.

You're right. I've found that high-frequency detectors tend to pick up stainless steel more easily, although the specifics can vary from model to model.

Also, the detector might miss small stainless steel items or if they're buried deeply, their detection can be a bit tricky. It's all about the right tuning and frequency.
