Platnum Id

Platinum is similar to gold they will ID over a fairly broad range. Weight, size and the cross section dimensions of the ring are the factors that determine ID. Small thin round types read low and "fat" heavy rings read much higher. Then of course throw in the angle they are laying at and well, you get the idea! <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=";)">
Sorry, but if you want platinum rings you gotta dig eveything just like with gold rings.

Beep dig, just can't get away from it. You'd think Minelab would have come out with a nodigum beam-ray by now. <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol">
 
Many over the years have come up with ways..harmonics, sizing, audio differences to cut down the odds along with every park has several tabs that abound...simply notch these out to cut down the odds..No 100 percent way to tell but beep-dig would have our parks looking like a battleground. I really feel if a manufacturer came out with a way to tell a ring from the junk that mimics it certainly would ruin that facet of the hobby..Am sure silver coin hunters can attest to that as its getting tougher every year. Remember a gold ring weighs much more than a tab or piece of foil that mimics it so in reallity one can understand them in many cases sounding different to a trained ear and cutting down the odds.
 
with the CZ-5 and the first target was a foil signal, it sounded "nice" so I dug it and got a gold wedding band. Every "nice" sounding foil signal after that was, you guessed it foil!!. I have found a lot of rings wading with the CZ-5 and the signal they give is no different than foil IMO.

A CZ has VCO pinpointing while many units with regular all metal pinpointing do have variances and this is where the differences are. In all reallity this is a Minelab forum and is for the discussion of their units so hope this answers your post.
