How can a metal detector detect platinum since it isn't magnetic?

no because platinum has no magnetic field :):):) yeah it sure does Metal detectors work by creating a magnetic field in the coil and then sensing the change in current when a conductor enters that field. Platinum is an excellent conductor and if your metal detector is unable to detect a platinum nugget, try twiddling the sensitivity knob. If it still doesn't work, take it back to the store and exchange it for one that works.

Depends on the size of the metal detectors, and the size of the metal under the surface of the earth. The bigger the metal detector, the bigger the piece of metal, the deeper down it will detect.
