Every single one of those metals (Except platinum) is so incredibly common in medical, industrial, and technological applications that any piece you use to try and locate something is going to be spinning like a fucking ceiling fan. It MIGHT work in the wilderness but it's pretty rare to lose things out there. The Semblance is, basically, entirely useless outside of extremely select situations.

Why not do the smart thing and have a pair-finding Semblance. Using one part of something to find its other 'half' ?

Example: You have a maching pen and notenook set. You lose the notebook. You can use the pen to locate its match.

Less situation-locked.
