Will it detect platinum. My husband lost his wedding ring.

Yes it will Sally , It will detect any kind of metal and it would be very helpful if you had another platinum ring or a piece of platinum to see what numeric value the detector would read it as .

hello . yes it will certainly detect the ring if it were me i would run the all metal mode first . if the ring is in water dont let the control box get in the water. it must stay dry. not sure about salt water searching though, probably not the best choice for the wet side of the salt water beach . hope this helps and good luck !

it detects all sort of metals, gold can be detected if not far buried beneath the ground. i did research on what i had purchased and it gave me some great insight on how to set it at different levels to obtain gold, nickle and silver, good luck.

If it is inside the home, any detector will be difficult to locate the ring. This one will definitely pick it up, however it will ring up nearly the same as a nail or pull tab.

This will find anything metal and the depth it will detect may be enough to get the job done but you will look silly crawling around on your knees with something about as round as quarter. Get a cheap detector, even a used one. It is never cost prohibitive to get the right tool for the job

I think it will. I'd suggest that you use blue tape to mark positives and take the average from many data points as an answer. I was able to find metal as small as the leg of a construction staple imbedded (about 1/8") in wood consistently.

No, this does not replace a Metal Detector. But it is a great tool one uses once their medal detector has located an object below the ground level. The Garrett Pro-pointer helps you locate an item quickly. Would suggest finding him a good metal detector. If he is just getting into this hobby I would recommend a Garrett Ace 250 which is a good one, light, easy to use. I purchase my Garrett at Kellyco's local store, also have a website kellycodetectors.com . Also suggest viewing both items on Youtube.

Probably sprinkled on. However this is a waste of your money. It barely sparkles and is more of a dirty grey than platinum.

Hello Nick, it has a discriminator mode that can cancel out different metals. No metal detector is 100% accurate, but I found the ACe 250 to do a decent job. Read some of the reviews of the buyers and watch the reviews on youtube .

No, I suggest much more advanced metal detector. For this o e to detect. Anything the object had to literally

Yes. It will find them and most everything else that is metal. Most pins are not buried deep (unless the earth has often been grated.)

No, but it'll detect rusty nails, and beep at anything that even remorely contains metsllic minerals. Total piece of junk!

Yes within 2-3 inches depending on size of ring. Thanks, Big Boys Hobbies Metal Detectors.

you should be able to find the ring fairly easily. It will show on the scale on the front of the machine in the lower end which signifies smaller change as well as gold. I honestly dont know what year the machine was made. sorry.

I'm not sure but I've used it on my Alex and Ani, silver plated and Russian gold plated, and it shines them ALL up. Just buy this one, test a small spot, and hopefully it works! Good luck!

if your in a known gold area, and you know how to use this detector it will. not flakes but pickers and nuggets. make sure TO ground balance

I have found gold jewelry with it, but have not had the chance to look for raw nuggets. As far as easily, no gold is easily found, but if the coil goes over it, the machine will let you know. If it was easy everyone would do it! Don't quit your day job haha! Great machine for the price!

I've owned this detector for a couple of years. It has performed well. To respond to your question; No consumer grade metal detector I am aware of is sensitive to the physical shape of any metal. There need only be an adequate amount of that metal for the detector coil chosen to sense a 'return' and transmit that back to the display. Certain coils are wound to better detect gold than others. If gold is what you're going for I suggest you look into also picking up a gold finding coil from BountyHunter.
