My partner lost her diamond off her necklace at a party in a feild at the weekend it was mounted in a precious metal probably silver. We know the area of about 20 sqm but couldn't find it at the time. It's not a lot of metal but I need to know could that be found by metal detector. It's a 1/4 carat diamond. Can I lit be found by an amature or do I require a pro with good gear?
Depending on how much metal it was fastened too and what it was made it definitely could be found. The problem usually lies with all the other trash buried in the ground. I could give it a shot if you'd like. I have recovered items before.
