I have a Remington sportsman series I believe, and I understand this may not be the best place to put this but I don’t really use reddit and I couldn’t find a subreddit for this situation.
I lost a knife in a small section of the woods here and I need to find it before dark. I have searched a small area and I’m afraid it will be permanently lost, which is undesirable since it was given to me by my dead grandpa.
If anybody knows how to find metal objects in this environment, let me know, as I am kind of desperate to find this item.

Have you thought of a metal detector, by any chance?
We have the technology to detect metal. It’s called a metal detector. The other option is a magnet sweeper.
Last two times I thought I lost my pocket knife in the woods it was between drivers seat and armrest. The seat belt must’ve caught it
Call some friends
I’m sorry but don’t take sentimental items out of the house. I learned it the hard way.
It’s very likely within two-foot radius of where you placed your feet. That will narrow it down.
It might be invisible from one point of view, and easy to see from another. Walk the path both ways, consider walking parallel to the path so you can view it from the side.
The flashlight is a good idea, even in daylight.
Be patient, it’s there. Just be certain you know when you last had it and when you first noticed it gone.
Maybe you could find a guy on Facebook or Craigslist with a metal detector who’s willing to help you out.
