Desertsunburn Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 During today's hunt, I found a tool someone likely dropped. If you can describe it, I'll be happy to give it back to you.Until then, I am putting it to good use! :blink:Jimhttp://desertsunburn.no-ip.org/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaimi Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Aloha Jim,If it's green and is made of plastic then you found my trowel/rake finally.Aloha,Stan aka Ka'imi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paseclipse Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I didn't bother to read what you wrote in the link because I tend to not click on links like that to avoid viruses.I did lose a GPS somewhere out there a few years ago. Is this what you found or was it a pick?Del Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seas3to5 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Was it my pick? It was green with pink strips, and a magnet on it...........! I also lost my airplane out there, small model was red on the north side! You would think that it would stick out like a sore thumb, we hunted for about an hour on that one and then gave up. I should have had the GPS locator turned on but forgot to.I never thought that I could lose it in the desert, it about 100 yards off the tracks, down by the signal lights, north side of the tracks.After I lost it I got out of flying radio controlled models, my wife would not let it go, she thought it was to funny, and did a good job of rubbing it in!Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MobileHolmes Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 How about a telescoping magnet stick with black handle. I might tell you how many specimens I found there.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Jim, Is it a closing set of magnifying lenses that are oversized, about 1-1/2 inches. Clifton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Dang, you people have lost a bunch of stuff!

seas3to5 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well guys we could have some fun with this lost and found thing, by just leaving something out in the field and see who finds it. They will move it to somewhere else in the same strewn field, and see if someone else finds it a note would be put with the item to move it some were else and not to remove it from the strewn field. No quite geocaching, as no one would leave any information about its location. It might add a little fun to all are hunts when we come up empty-handed, but had the bragging rights to finding our lost item!The item would be left out in plain sight, and not buried, once one was put in a strewn field, no more would be added, and the fact that there was one out there to be found would be post in a lost thread.We wouldn't want a bunch of trash put anywhere, so one thing would be the limit!What do you guys think?

Stopped doing that because I once forgot to mark it on my gps and it took me almost 40 minutes to locate it. Lots of tall brush and trees in that area. Kind of spooky if you are afraid of snakes too!!:whaaaa: Will keep an eye out for your plane tho the next time I hit that area.Aloha,Stan aka Ka'imiPS: Oh yeah, we love to find meteorites BUT we also have brain farts and leave stuff behind while we walk away admiring our finds. Glad to see I am not the only one losing stuff out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a small square tin box, big enough inside for a pencil and a note pad. The instructions might read "At least you weren't skunked today, you have found the famous Franconia moving geocash (or not-skunked) box; Please add your name and the date to list of finders on the notepad. Photograph the notepad with your name on it for bragging rights on the forum; and if you wish, move the box several hundred yards or more and burry it (in the one gallon plastic bag?) so that it's just barely, 1/2 inch, below surface level (no washes, no big rocks). Please GPS the new location, but keep it to yourself. Need to add the forum URL, incase it's a non-member who finds it. Sounds OK to me, it would be good to find the box on a day when all your finding is 50 cals. Of course it would be a heart stopper, huge zip zip detector report, "Oh boy I found a biggie"; but no a tin box. Clifton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regmaglitch Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi Jim, It wasn't one of the two, black, plastic loupes I've lost out there, was it? Or any of the old toothbrushes that I use to clean meteorites that managed to jump out of my pocket....... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
