You can stay on top of technology by finding creative ways to repurpose older devices. When you buy a new phone, consider turning your previous one into a useful tool instead of leaving it forgotten in a drawer. For example, a simple app transforms your old iPhone or Android into a working metal detector.
Download a free metal detector app:
- for iPhones, use Metal Detector and Spy Camera App – App Store
- for Android devices, try Metal Detector – Apps on Google Play
The app enables your phone to sense the magnetic fields produced by metal objects. While it won’t uncover treasure buried deep underground, it helps you quickly locate lost metal items like screws in the grass or a ring at a campsite.
If you like to tinker, attach your new phone metal detector to a stick so you can search without bending down. Be aware that some apps may offer only a free trial before switching to a paid model.
With a simple download, you can give your unused phone a new purpose and make technology work for you.
