Yep, a chinese ring I found on the 18th was confirmed by my jeweller today to be platinum. I expected as much when I found the maker online and read that he only works with high carat gold and platinum. I just wanted to be sure before I posted it as platinum.

It's a first for me...

I got an email froma woman who lost her engagement ring. She thought her dog ate it. Here is the letter:

HI,

I took my dog to the vet almost 4 days after i lost it...They didn't find a ring in the xray. So i was thinking maybe she had already pooped it out on my lawn?? My dog is about 15 pounds and is quite friendly...

Can you really find a platinum/diamond ring with a metal detector?

Thanks,

Now my first question is how did the platinum read? Was it a silver or gold type of readout? or something else?

And the second part is how should I ground balance the machie for dog poop? (JK)

Very nice find bud. I think I've got one or two over all my years. Platinum is going for close to $1300 per ounce so you have a pricey piece there.

Just search for it like you would anything else. No special settings. If a dog turd beeps you're home free.

If he finds more he'll be the luckiest guy in town as platinum rings are rare.
