You can ask your cabal's guardians if you need to know what you're guarding, or where yours is. See 'help cabal questions'. Yes, there are situations where this is less good than Locate Object.

It wouldn't make sense within the spell framework in any case. Telling druids "You can only locate living or formerly living things. Oh, and a transdimensional Ebony Scepter." is awkward.
