Now with a calibration feature which zeros out the response in case you are surrounded by metal. Also, sound can be turned on and off.
Metal Detect makes the iPhone 3GS into a portable metal detector by means of using the internal magnetometer.
Metal Detect provides visual and audio feedback of the intensity of the distortion in the magnetic field due to a nearby metallic object.
It can be used to detect the presence of keys, cell phones, speakers, and many other metallic objects.

The attractive user interface will make you feel like you bought a metal detector off a store shelf.

Latest reviews of Metal Detect app for iPhone and iPad
Clean design, and it actually works!
Did not work on my iPhone 3Gs at all
Actually works, somewhat. Great concept, but the implementation needs some work. Please add a calibrate feature so you can zero out the scale.
That says it all
It works so well with heavy metals... keys and coins are detected and move the dial 1/4 or 1/2 way
