A metal detector is a useful tool around the woodshop because it can do this.

You may think of buried treasure when you hear metal detector, but in terms of woodworking, this is not the correct use. The metal detector you should keep around the shop is a small handheld device, much like an ice scraper, that you can run over wood to find any pieces of metal that may have found its way in.
