You need to know if someone’s carrying something they shouldn’t be—and you need to know before they get through the door. That’s the whole job of a metal detector, and the Pro-Scan handles it with professional-grade accuracy.
Who This Metal Detector Is Best For:
- Security personnel at schools, offices, courts, or correctional facilities
- Event organizers managing crowds at concerts, fairs, or sporting venues
- Venue managers at theaters, clubs, bars, and entertainment spaces
- Medical professionals needing to locate metal objects in emergency situations
Is This the Right Metal Detector for You?
Choose the Pro-Scan Security Scanner if you want:
- Professional detection capabilities that meet real security screening standards
- The option to scan either with audible alerts or silent vibration mode
- Lifetime warranty protection and accessories like holster and wrist strap included
Key Features: The detection capabilities are what matter most. This unit will pick up a paper clip at 2 inches, a knife at 4 inches, and a handgun at 5 inches. That large detection probe area means comprehensive coverage in every scan. You’ve got two alert modes to choose from—either an audible tone that everyone can hear, or a vibration mode for situations where you need to conduct screenings discreetly without broadcasting every detection to the entire room.
The three-color LED system keeps you informed: green light means the unit is powered on and ready, yellow light warns you when the battery is getting low, and red light signals a metal detection. That low battery warning is crucial—it prevents you from standing there thinking you’re screening people when actually your detector died an hour ago. The unit operates in temperatures from 5°F to 131°F, so it works reliably whether you’re screening people in winter cold or summer heat. You can run it on a standard 9-volt battery, or use the external charging port with a rechargeable 9-volt battery if you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this detect aluminum or only ferrous metals?
This detector works on all metals—ferrous (iron, steel), non-ferrous (aluminum, brass, copper), and precious metals (gold, silver). It detects based on electrical conductivity and magnetic properties, so anything metal will trigger it. That includes aluminum knives, brass knuckles, copper wire—not just steel weapons.
How do I reduce false positives from belt buckles and jewelry?
Use the low sensitivity mode for general screening. This setting is designed to detect larger objects while ignoring smaller items like keys, belt buckles, and jewelry. For more thorough searches where you need to find everything, switch to high sensitivity mode. You’ll get more alerts, but you won’t miss anything.
Can I really use this for medical purposes to find swallowed objects?
Yes—multiple scientific studies have confirmed that handheld metal detectors are as accurate as x-rays for locating metal objects in the body, particularly for items children have swallowed. They’re radiation-free, faster than waiting for x-rays, and commonly used by paramedics and ER staff for exactly this purpose. Obviously, medical decisions should be made by medical professionals, but the detector itself is perfectly suited for this application.
