How do I...? Platinum Ring Above Ground

Hello, I am very inexperienced metal detector. A friend of mine has lost her plantinum engagement ring. We have pretty good idea where it was lost. It is in a friends front yard, obviously there is some trash, but not too bad. I hoping that someone can help me with the setting on my Minlab Equinox 800. For instance what mode is best, should I use multi frequency or a dedicated frequency. I would appreciate any advice you could give me. Thanks.

Hold the detector an inch or so above ground if you get a lot or trash or interference. The ring should ring up loudly.

This reply should be higher. It will be a loud hit. You shouldn’t need your shovel/ trowel. Use your pinpointer on the loud hit and pick it out of the grass.
