I sometimes volunteer at a local detention facility, and they have a

out of my work clothes, and I triggered the metal detector even with no
metal on my person whatsover. The guy running the wand asked me if I
happened to work in a machine shop and I said yes, and he said work
jeans from a machine shop or steel fab shop can trigger a scanner no
problem.

I would have never guessed. Turned out this particular officer used to
be a machinist, and he had specific knowledge on the subject.

You sure it wasn't from all that lead
you absorbed from pouring the keel of
your boat (:
