platinum detecting

[sinclairuser]

hi all is there any type of detector that has a better chance of detecting a platinum wedding ring ie ib,pi,vlf?
as ive been asked to try and detect such an item by a friend the ring was dropped in a back garden which is heavy clay soil over sandstone bedrock
thanks ally x

If platinum is in a "ring" shape to begin with, chances are pretty good that any detector will find it. I was approached by someone at the beach that asked me to find a wedding band that was lost in the sand. I found it pretty easy in a huge pile of sand that everyone there had already sifted through. Turns out it was platinum. I was using a Shadow X5 that is a 19 kHz machine.
