This is a real long shot but my mother in law thinks that a piece of her jewelry (gold cross) might be buried in a section of sidewalk grass in front of her childhood home (still in the family).
The gold cross was lost in 1960 when she was a child. I told her chances are it could have been mowed over or someone walking by could have found it but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and try to find it. Maybe we'll get lucky if someone stepped on it and pushed it into the soil.

Questions:
- Over the past 60 years, could frost heave or grass roots somehow pulled the cross deeper into the ground, and possibly how deep?
- What budget metal detector would you recommend for finding a 1" piece of gold jewelry maybe 6 inches deep?
- There are a few weirdly names Chinesium brands I'd rather get than spending $300 on a nice Garret. Though the hobby seems fun I Don't have the time to go metal detecting.
