We have a number of recoveries of metal screws, springs and washers from packaged foods.
Although in most cases there is a good chance of recovering metal items, we can not grantee that a lost metal object will be located in the searched product or area. Therefore we can not give an all clear on searched products as there is a number of factors that may interfere with the recovery.
To ascertain whether recovery is possible and to increase the likelihood of recovery, we need to perform a test run. Where we place an identical replica of the lost item into the same packaging/ container it was lost in and try to find it.
This is required as:
The salt content of food can effect how the metal detector reacts
The area where the search is performed may have electrical interferences
The package may effect the ability of the metal detector
The metal object may be too small for the metal detector to locate in the package/ container.
