Can an acoustic imaging technique be used to detect small metal pins embedded externally in gold jewelry?

Can an acoustic imaging technique be used to determine contaminants like small metal pins embedded externally on gold jewelry? I am sceptical bcoz acoustic imaging is generally used for internal scanning and the surface for detection should be plane or regularly curved, which is not the case with jewelry.
I am open to other suggestions.

    Radiography is one way that should work. Infrared might also work if the camera is sensitive enough.
