|If it's the only thing in the forest that doesn't belong there, probably
|yes. If there are loads of similar objects, getting the spirit to find your
|specific cyberdeck may be a bit hard. IMHO, of course.

Also, don't forget that time would be important as well.
Nature has a way of "claiming" things.
If the cyberdeck was dropped within a couple of days, the request to the
spirit could be "Find something that doesn't belong here that was dropped
'x' days ago.
As time passes, the thing starts to become integrated into the enviroment.
Moss will begin to grow over it, insects build nests, etc.

It might actually be easier or more difficult to find something that's been
there a while....
