can this detector locate a platinum ring?

We got this but the only thing it picked up was bottle caps, it's been sitting in the closet ever since.

Hello Nick, it has a discriminator mode that can cancel out different metals. No metal detector is 100% accurate, but I found the ACe 250 to do a decent job. Read some of the reviews of the buyers and watch the reviews on youtube .

My Bounty Hunter pin pointer can detect metals from 3/4" to 1" away from it's tip. But that is only after carefully fine tuning the sensitivity at the on-off knob. If you happen to touch the knob after adjustment, you stand the chance of knocking it out of adjustment and will have to start all over again. Bottom line is it's less expensive than the others on the market and it suits my needs, but it requires the user to perform sensitivity adjustment before use.

This item is a surface mount detector that I purchased to replace my factory installed unit (same unit). If you look at the MTI site you will likely find your answer.

Yes it will detect gold jewelry, gold bars and coins. The DD coil and shaft is water proof but not the head or control box.. Some of the gold items show up in the mid range tone ... So you should pretty much dig every target it detects in that range.... Although beverage pull tabs and gold rings sound the same in this detectors ring tone. I've found 6 gold rings and 1 gold earring at the beach in the sand all in the mid tone range...Best of luck !John C.

I have been able to find all metal types it depends on what setting you have it on but this metal detector is amazing for the price

it detects all sort of metals, gold can be detected if not far buried beneath the ground. i did research on what i had purchased and it gave me some great insight on how to set it at different levels to obtain gold, nickle and silver, good luck.

good question. It is difficult to find gold with any detector. Gold reflects on the same frequency as beer tabs and nickels depending on the size of the gold. Sometimes it reflects on even lower frequencies like iron. The result is that the detector will find the gold, but you won't know if you are getting gold or a beer tab until you dig it up. Of course, it will normally be a beer tab.

Nope, some say yes but if rings don't match something will be missing I found out the hard way

yes it should have no worries finding a gold ring - these Delta's are a very underated metal detector

no...just metal. if you know where you dropped the diamond your best beat it the get a fine screen and sift the dirt.. you will find it.

Yes it will work under those conditions and find your ring if you know where to look for it !I detect in areas with my time ranger where there is a lot of black magnetic sands and hot rocks this unit picks up everything my detectors costing twice as much do.. if you buy it here at Amazon like I did it is areal bargain...

Not sure, I'm a beginner with experience with a cheaper brand. After using this model I must admit my old metal detector "toraso cultus" is much easier to use and detects just as deep. I'm not certain the price gives me that much more of a detector. I'm still learning it but am becoming a little frustrated.

Yes it has a gold setting...though its not the best. Unless the placer is in a mine mixed with ore right on top of the ground you're not going to have much luck. (at depth) This bounty hunter gives off a low tone for gold. (which is also the tone for a lot of trash like nickle) Bounty hunter makes another detector called the "Gold Hunter" which would be better suited for placer. Cost is about $50 more but worth it. Hope this helps and good luck hunting!

No, but it'll detect rusty nails, and beep at anything that even remorely contains metsllic minerals. Total piece of junk!

if your in a known gold area, and you know how to use this detector it will. not flakes but pickers and nuggets. make sure TO ground balance

To detect gold, you'll need to increase your range of frequencies, which may lead to alot of dug up scrap, but a loud solid tone should usually accompany a ring and such.
