Garrett Metal Detector
Essentially, a metal detector detects metal through the transmission and reception of very low frequency (VLF) magnetic waves. Most of today's detectors operate on a VLF and are referred to as VLF or motion detectors. A magnetic wave is transmitted through the transmitter portion of the detector's searchcoil, which subsequently generates an invisible, intangible magnetic field that balloons outward into the surrounding medium, such as air, earth, clothing, water, etc.

How deep reaches a metal detector?

FAQ
It depends on many factors. Especially on the size of the object and whether the user requires additional information such as the type of metal. For that purpose detectors can display the so called conductivity of the object. To determine the conductivity is only possible on shallower objects. In practice the ability to distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous items is especially important. Usually small objects like coins are only dug if they can be identified as nonferrous.

Bariatric Surgery by Julie Ellner, M.D., Other FAQ's
It is highly unlikely that the internal staples described above will set off a metal detector at the airport. It is recommended, however, that if you ever require a test called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), you tell the people performing the test that you have internal staples. It is generally safe to undergo MRI scanning although most radiologists recommend waiting at least 2-3 months after surgery to do so.
