I keep telling Hank to "Please, dear ..empty your pockets before placing your trousers in the hamper"..but after what happened today, I publicly announce that for the first time in my life I had to "eat crow" again. 
( didn't taste so bad 
)
You see, I wear camos with 6 pockets when I go detecting...and I place the "treasures" in any convenient pocket upon recovery....problem is ,I sometimes forget where I put what...and ...well, one of the items ended up in the washing machine.
Kept hearting "clunk, clunkety clunk, clunkety clunk" ...and lo and behold!!...well, I'll let the pics tell the remainder of the story.
thanks for taking the time to look at my post.
