Is it possible to find my iPod touch without "find my iPhone" enabled ?

A couple days ago, I was at a mates house and I had lost my iPod touch! I also forgot to enable the 'find my iPhone" option in both the app or in the settings menu. Would it be possible in any way that I could retrieve it! I was wondering if Apple were able to track its last known location or if they are able to track it anyway. Please it would be a huge favour, I have alot of photos, childhood memories, songs, etc that I would not be able to get back as the songs have been created by myself and stored on the iPod.


Would be so relieved if I was able to get it back.

Thanks

lost/stolen

No app on the iOS device is required.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.

- You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

iCloud: Erase your device

iCloud: Use Lost Mode

- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.

- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad

- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
