Unless we assume Pyrrha automatically knows when something is metal, we have no reason to think Pyrrha is aware of Mercury's legs being prosthetic. She was specifically manipulating his boots and most directly the weapons attached to his boots, which appear to be separate. If her ability does not allow her to detect metal, then it is quite probably the case that she is clueless.

I think the hardest part is identifying how she can tell what is or is not metal. The one scene I always go back to is the food fight. She slaps the ground and picks up all the metal near her. Even metal she isn't looking at. So to me, it seems like detecting metal should be rather easy.

I think the larger question is does she associate it with mechanical legs as well as HOW much of the leg is really a metal she can control. It would be really easy to write it off as, Pyrrha just assumed the metal was part of his weapon that he conceals.
