    My jointer usually does a good job of finding any rogue bits of metal.

    Had a Garrett Super Scanner (the one you see at all the airports) at my old work that was great, but I'm guessing you don't want to spend that much...

    These might be more palatable - Metal Detectors

    Regardless of the detector, use a new or near new battery in it, detection gets poorer as the battery voltage drops.

    I bought a cheap one on eBay (similar to this one) - and it looks identical to much more expensive variations, and even has the same model number.
    It works well, and has been very reliable so far.
