A handheld metal detector is a portable security screening device designed to detect metallic objects on or near a person. It is commonly used for focused secondary inspection at security checkpoints and controlled-access facilities.

Handheld metal detectors are commonly used at airports, government facilities, customs and border checkpoints, stations, ports, critical infrastructure, sports venues and other high-security environments.

A walk-through metal detector provides primary personnel screening as an individual passes through the detection gate, while a handheld metal detector allows security personnel to perform more focused secondary inspection of specific areas.
