Using the Metal Detector in Terraria is super easy and cool! You don鈥檛 have to do anything special to activate it. Just keep it in your inventory, and it will automatically show you the most valuable ore nearby on your screen. Remember, it only shows the one closest to you, so you gotta move around if you're hunting for specific ores.
Honestly, I never found it that useful. Just mine everything you see, way more fun.
