The caster can detect any item made of natural materials
as long as he used the sample of material used in the spell.
I.e. someone wanting gold might use a gold coin to focus.
The spell-like ability does not detect complex items made
of a variety of materials if the selected material is only a
minor part of the item.

This spell-like ability can potentially be used to look for

mechanical traps or natural traps if the trap is made of the
selected material. If the trap is made of the selected
material, the target gets a +10 bonus to their Perception
score for the purpose of finding the trap as long as it is
actually made of that material or comprises at 25% of the
material in question. For instance, if the trap use lots of
iron in its construction and the target looks for iron, then
the bonus would apply. If the material is closely related
(e.g. cold iron verses forged steel, then the DM could still
allow the bonus.)

Find Item does not detect any sort of magic traps, natural
