Definitely if you have a septic tank. I don't know about sewer. ---------------- If its a septic tank, the entire tank contents can be pumped out and filtered until the item is found (assuming it would survive the chemicals in a septic tank) If its a sewer system - its still possible. If its something like a diamond ring, the best hope is to call a plumber immediately and dont flush anymore or run any water in the Plumbing system. A professional plumber will likely have a flexible camera 'snake' that can be fed down the drain pipe to see if the object is still there. If so, there are some ways to get it out, depending on the value of the item compared to the expense of the extraction method.
