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.
