    It just detects holes but not bolts. You need a script to detect bolts. A simple case of bolt has 'hexagon head' that you can use to detect.

    Can we get detect holes only with bolts?

    How to find bolts from holes and their specifications i.e., shank diameter, shank length, head diameter, head height.
