Locate object reveals the exact location of any known object within the spell range, though it may be hidden in a closed container, behind a secret door, buried beneath the ground or otherwise obscured from sight. This may also allow the caster to recover an object that has been misplaced, or which has been stolen by a thief who is still nearabouts.
