I was detecting a beech with my atpro not finding many targets and I get shallow bouncy nickel signal in dry sand, I scooped it up and saw silver colored ring, I picked it up and was heavy. I also dug gold colored pendant however it looks plated. I checked ring with loup and said plat.

Wow! Dry sand plat is a rarity! Heavy stuff like that sinks so fast.

Seriously congrats! I love the weight and feel of platinum!
