Platinum Detector
Best starter-island detector target.
Last updated: 2026-08-09 · The starter Plastic Shovel, Rusty Detector, and Basic Spray Bottle are confirmed free starting gear by the official Roblox description and community guides. All other costs and stats are community-reported estimates from Sportskeeda and All Things How (Aug 6, 2026). Live shop prices may differ; verify in-game before buying.
What x12 Luck Means
Detector luck multiplies the rarity chance of the dig sites you find. x12 luck means the game weights rare, epic, and legendary spawns x12 compared with the Rusty Detector baseline. Higher luck is the fastest way to move from junk farming to rare item hunting, but it only helps if your shovel is strong enough to dig the pings it finds.
Is the Platinum Detector Worth Buying?
At 140,000 Gold, buy the Platinum Detector only when you can already dig the rare spots it will reveal. If your shovel power is low, invest in the shovel first, then return for this detector.
Detector Upgrade Order Reminder
- Rusty Detector — free starter; use it to learn the ping system.
- Copper / Silver Detector — early upgrades when you want more rare pings.
- Gold / Platinum Detector — late starter-island target for legendary hunts.
