The cheapest worthwhile detectors out there are the Radiacode ones. They are excellent for what they are, but they run around $300. Cheaper Geiger counters are unfortunately kinda useless, at least for this. It's also not particularly easy to know what you're looking at and how to interpret it even with a good detector, unfortunately I'm not sure how much luck you'd have so don't waste $300.
I see. Yes, so I just looked and Cobalt 60 has a short half life. If it's still there, it is probably hard to detect.
Still, it's a bit tempting to go check.
