570 ads from 12 metal detector brands in the Meta Ad Library, 495 running now.
12 metal detector brands have 570 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 495 of those were running when we read it on October 23, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Metal detector ads that sell split between a beach or river hunt for gold and coins and a pinpointer or coil kit for someone who already swings a machine, because the hobby buys the next find more than the spec sheet.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

The scroll decides in a second or two, so the product goes in the first frame, in someone's hand or on someone's body, not after an intro. Video leads in this category.
