Metal detectors create a magnetic field by using a brief pulse of electrical current. The magnetic field will be reflected back to the machine if there are any metal objects present, such as a watch or a belt buckle. The return signal is detected by the machine and a beeping noise is produced to alert the TSA agent.
Common metals that will set off an airport metal detector include iron, steel, nickel, copper, brass, aluminum, and titanium. Other metals, such as gold and silver, will not typically set off a metal detector, but they may be detected by X-ray or other security screening methods.
