Title: Lost platinum wedding ring in Barry island Post by: Rick_Deckard on May 30, 2015, 01:17:54 PM This gentleman asked me for help in Barry island. His platinum wedding ring slipped off while burying his son on the sand.
Dave: mobile: 07584652067 He felt it slip off in about a 6 foot radius. If you, re near, give him a call.

I think you need to pop your machine in to Regtons and get it checked out ;DNo don't worry peeps platinum is not even close to reacting like iron to a metal detector, yes on a conductance scale there is very little difference but (similar to the carat of gold question a couple of weeks ago) this is DC electronics and we are dealing with AC skin effect (inductance) which is totally different and so platinum will signal at a mid point (depending on size and shape) like 18ct gold. One thing to remember is that those VDI numbers many of us have on our machines are human constructs and have absolutely no basis in reality, iron for instance is a good conductor and yet shows low :-\ but this is to do with it being easy to identify due to it being ferrous (magnetic) ;) Title: Re: Lost platinum wedding ring in Barry island Post by: Mike on May 31, 2015, 10:31:00 AM nigel,platinum gives a crackin signal with my soverign elite ;) yep agree , had an 8g whopper off woolacombe beach last year with my sov gt and it was a lovely signal ;) |
