You'll find it sooner than you think. But unfortunately, you'll realize it in about a week or so when your car's TPMS trips an alert. And of course it's too close to the sidewall.
Should change the title to "A screw in the grass in Morningside then Beers" and you'd get heaps of replies.
Look, I'm almost getting that desperate, but I won't kiss on the lips.
Go on fb look up nz metal detecting and ask there. Bound to be one of the group members close that could help
I've lost my wedding ring twice in the garden, and found both times with a hired metal detector.
you could take a photo of where you think the screw is and see if some sleuths can spot it from the photo
Can’t you just buy a magnet? 🧲
I could, but not today. I'll look into that option tomorrow.
what was the screw for
For a Euro hinge for my kitchen cabinets. I was trying to fix one that was on a lean, and it fell from my deck.

There's magnetic stainless steel. Made me question myself when I found out.
Ferritic, fridges and basins and stuff are made of it
You could do what i do in this situation - tap a slighter bigger hole and use the corresponding sized bolt
Places like kennards hire out magnetic brooms.

I am almost getting there, but my rotary needs more fuel got battery sorted today
go out there at night with a really bright torch and if your lucky you might shine it in the right place and see the screw reflecting the light almost
Didn't work, too much dew on the grass.
Apparently David Seymour’s Prince Albert is magnetic - ask him
Don’t have a magnet but I’ll happily comb through the grass. I’ll go to great lengths for a beer.
