That little thing with a rainbow stone is shaped like a hart.

I pried the opal and the dirt out of it and tested it for gold.

It is 10k gold...............BUT...............:O

After I tested it, I set down somewhere and that was the last
I've seen of it................

Oh Well.................

That's not the first time. I got a gold chain running around here
somewhere also...........

It's not that bad though. The thing was so tiny it would not have
had been worth more than a few dollars.

But at least I can say I FOUND GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

HH,

I found a 1901 Barber quarter (NOT an "S", thank heaven), cleaned it up, laid it on a shelf in my kitchen......and haven't seen it since. Probably my wife saw it as just "more junk" and pitched it.

hi td, sorry to hear of you misplacing the gemstone and au necklace. i don't like losing stuff either, but we all do. i'm sure you'll find it eventually. i found a beautiful coat size confederate texas button along with another button that had a lyre on it in a friend's yard about 10 years ago. i stashed it away, forgetting about it, until one of my exes and myself broke up. i breathed a sigh of relief, went to get it, and it was gone! you wanna talk about mad? oh man. words can't describe it. i know she took it, telling her friends about it, and word got back to me. i got to the antique shop just a couple of days too late. the owner [whom i knew] informed me he had recently bought and sold a nice texas button. he felt bad for me and hooked me up with some old silver. nice gesture on his part, and i appreciated it. needless to say, i started buying safes a short time later. just call me "LEARNT CAT" after that fiasco. any good finds i make nowadays [at least for the past 10+ years] go straight into the vaults. thanks for reading, and hh,

TD I have one of those special place where I put things so I will know just where it is when I want it. I have many things there now and when I find this place it will take me days to go through all the stuff that is there. Z

Well I guess that is one good reason to move every couple years, I always find stuff I thought I lost. (one more move and that should be it - retired from the Army)

Stupid me is at it again.......i was out at a new park today with my son and guess what i did? i was poking around a hole with my screwdriver when i noticed my son was a bit too far from me. so i called out for him to come back closer. as i did....i stabbed myself with the blasted screwdriver right at the tip of my finger...yes it bled a little....made me want to pack bandaids for my next trip out.....:blush:

seems you are batting 1000, tabdog.... (Is the full moon out?)

A big Thank You for starting this post. I thought I was the only one who misplaced valuable things. Now my contribution: A few years ago my wife (she's a compulsive hoarder) was in the hospital after suffering a stroke and I decided to clean/straighten up the house before she got out. Our children were helping one evening when one of them brought a small paper bag to show me. The bag was the kind grocery stores would put a candy bar or other small item in, about 3" by 5" by 7" high and looked to be half full of coins. I dug a hand full of them out and just by letting them run through my fingers back into the bag all I saw was mercury dimes and one Roosevelt. The bag was placed in that "special place" we all keep things in and hasn't been seen since. I know it's still here in the house but I have no idea where.

it was like poof be gone........that stinks...sorry to hear it

 

[tabdog]

What!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's the silver, I know it's around here somewhere???

man, that has to be frustrating.

If I knew where all my stuff was, I wouldn't have to go to thet store

half as much,

I wear my necklace that I found, I don't think it is gold, but it is nice.
