Depends on the settings of that metal detector. FWIW the Sony M10 generally doesn't set them off.

These days, it's also not a bad strategy to not hide it and just plug some headphones into the thing and say it's an MP3 player, which is technically is.

One of many ways.

I have screws in my body. I wear a knee brace and pocket full of change.
