Metal Detectin' — common questions
When was Metal Detectin' last in the item shop?
Metal Detectin' hasn't appeared in the item shop since we began tracking it on 5 August 2026. Epic's shop feed only exposes the current day, so we can't see whether it appeared before then.
How much does Metal Detectin' cost?
We don't have a recorded price for Metal Detectin'. We only know an item's price from days it has appeared in the shop while we were tracking it, and this emote hasn't.
Can you still get Metal Detectin'?
Most Fortnite cosmetics return to the item shop on rotation, but Epic doesn't publish a schedule and some items — battle pass rewards and promotional items in particular — never come back. There's no reliable way to tell in advance which category any given emote falls into.
