How does platinum ring up

woodsrider · Apr 24, 2017

I'm going to look for a platinum ring that was lost last summer in a grassy area and I'm try to decide should I use my etrac or mojave. I have never found platinum before so I will probably dig everything. But if it comes in higher than a pulltab it would cut down on how many targets I need to dig. It's next to a baseball diamond so I know there is going to be a lot of garbage. Any help would be appreciated.

How big? A band?

Generally speaking, same as gold..

Like foil range to zincoln.

No shortcuts really,,start digging.

Depth may be the best way to discriminate at least partially.

Ring's orientation can affect ID.
Good luck.

I scanned a friends and it rang up lower than a nickel,I'm talking the tin foil area.

It is just a band. I'm hoping it will be very shallow so I can run the pro pointer on top of the ground so I'm not digging a lot. Thanks for the info. The good thing is the area has been narrowed down to about 10' wide and 40' long.

I have hit them in the foil range all the way up to the quarter range..

Bands hit hard, like a coin...

Good luck!

I would think that it would be pretty shallow or on the surface if it was lost last year. That should eliminate a lot of the trash signals.

FWIW I found a small, thin platinum ring with an ACE250 many years ago and it hit on the first notch above iron (small foil). Good luck!
