How to download the indicated applications?

If you've made it this far and are thinking about trying this new experience, the first thing you'll need is one of the apps on your phone. But don't worry, you don't need to be a tech expert to do it.

In fact, downloading these apps is as easy as sending a WhatsApp message.

First, think about the type of phone you have. If you're using an Android device like most Samsung, Motorola, Xiaomi, and other cell phones, all you have to do is open the Play Store, which is the app store that comes pre-installed on your device. Once inside, tap the search bar at the top and type in the name of the app you're interested in: for example, Smart App Metal DetectorA list of results will appear, and ideally you should select the option with the most downloads and good ratings. Tap on "Install", wait a few seconds… and that’s it!

If you have an iPhone, no problem. In that case, you'll use the App Store, which is Apple's official store. It works the same way: you search for the name of the app, tap on "Obtain" either "Discharge" (depending on the model), enter your password or use your fingerprint if requested, and in a couple of minutes you will have everything installed.

A helpful tip: When you download the app, spend a few minutes exploring it. See if it has a short tutorial, check the settings to see if you can adjust the sensitivity or alert type, and test it at home to see how it reacts. Even if you don't find anything right away, you'll feel the excitement of starting something new. And that's worth a lot.

What precautions should I take when using these apps?

Although they are easy to use, it is worth taking some precautions to ensure a good and safe experience:

• Avoid dangerous or busy areas.
• Use headphones if you are going to rely on sound to detect metals.
• Bring an extra battery or fully charge your cell phone before you go out.
• If you're going to dig, use small tools and be careful of the surroundings.
• Do not use these apps in places where digging is prohibited.

And above all, don't expect to find gold every time you go out. The key is to enjoy the process, as if it were a purposeful hike.

Recommended places to start your search

If you've already downloaded an app and are eager to try it out, the next question is: where do I start? Some places are better than others for testing it out or even finding little treasures.

• Old parks: They usually have objects buried by time.
• Beaches: It is common for metal objects to be lost near water.
• Rural roads or paths in old towns: Places with history can hide surprises.
• Your own garden or patio: never underestimate what's under your feet.

Just be sure to respect the local regulations, don't dig in protected areas, and try to leave everything as you found it.

Final Thought: An Adventure That Begins in Your Pocket

Who would have said that a cell phone, the same one you use to read the news, talk to your grandchildren or look at recipes, can also become a tool for find precious metalsYes, just like you read that. A simple free app can open the door to a different, fun, and even nostalgic experience.

Because this isn't just about looking for hidden things. It's about rediscovering the joy of going for walks, of looking at the world carefully, of making sense of every step you take. It's about those little emotions that arise when your phone vibrates or makes a sound, and makes you think, "Could there be something down there?" It's about letting yourself be carried away by curiosity, without expectations, just for the pleasure of discovery.

Think of all you can gain from an activity like this: movement, fresh air, new stories to tell. Even if you don't find an ancient coin or a buried locket, you'll find something more valuable: a moment for yourself. A break from the routine. An excuse to get out, explore, and come home with a silly smile for having done something different.

And who knows... maybe the next beep won't just announce a metallic object, but also the start of a new hobby, a new habit, a new way of connecting with the world. Because as we always say: it's not what you go looking for, it's what you find along the way.
