Can a metal detector find an Iphone 4 in the snow?

I recently lost my iPhone 4 in the snow and I'm thinking of renting a metal detector to find it. Does anyone know if it will be detectable through the snow? And has anyone tried this before?
Any answer is helpful.

Rolled up my phone in a snowman a few years back. Ended up having to wait until spring to get it back. I know that's not what you want to hear, sorry.

My iphone is in the snow which was then plowed. Did the metal detector work for you?

Did you find it? I lost my iPhone 6 in my backyard playing with my kids. We have two feet of snow or more. I tried a metal detector but didn't find it. I'm afraid its under packed down snow and making myself sick thinking about it.
