Uncle Ron Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yo, All ...Well, so last week I was out at LSD and off loaded my Honda 4-wheeler .... Went out for a while and then came back and loaded the ATV back up on the trailer, strapped everything down and drove home ... Unfortunately, I failed to load my ATV aluminum ramp on the trailer! Just drove out from under it and left it to whomever showed up at my parking spot next ... But I didn't know I'd done it ... When I went back last Wednesday, I went to offload my ATV and, ta-da, no ramp on board .... So this is a long winded way of asking if anyone may have come up on an aluminum loading ramp, about 6.5" long, give or take, and found it? Or, if you know anyone who did ... Thanks in advance ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weaver hillbille Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Oh lord can I top that, but I do hope good uses come of the ramp and hopefully that it finds it's way home.I once drove a water truck away from a hydrant with the fill hose connected.... bought the owner a new $80 fill hose. It had cleanly ripped away at one of the connectors. I was darn lucky the angle of pull didn't break the meter connection on the hydrant.

Mike Furness Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ron ... I call it Half-hiemzer ... meaning no disrespect to those fighting that terrible disease or the caregivers of those suffering from the disease! Leaving things out in the field seems to be more common for me now than say 10 years ago. The repurchase of lost equipment program I am on though helps the economy to grow. Thanks for your not necessarily willingly or volunteer participation! Mike F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I left a pick on Bunk's claim last year and a scoop ... who knows where I left that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have walked away from two test nuggets - just left them there after being happy with the tuning.I have almost walked away from my pick dozens of times.I feel for you Ron. However with the streak you have been onI will lay odds that you will get it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Z Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Anything i have found over the years i tried my hardest to find who owns it and return it. The person that found your ramps probably just doesn't know where to return them too.... maybe leave a sturdy sign with your number at that exact spot and something good will happen...... I keep a google voice number for situations like that or craigs list etc for when i don't want to give my real number out. Or maybe just leave an email addressHope the ramp shows up for you.Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highbanker58 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 RON-I have an extra set of ramps, I'll trade for some maps, if interested call me you have my info. Just ordered maps from you.David Lamb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Dog Doug Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I guess that I should feel lucky. All that I have lost are Scoops. A hunting buddy of mine left his new GMT on the rack behind his jeep, and forgot to load it. Never to be seen again, by him anyway. Hope that you find it, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennM Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Had a brand new, bought the day before, still had part of the sticker on it, $60 Estwing rock hammer out after digging a bullet from within a 4" casing of quartz.Had to buy the smaller one as a replacement because I didn't have the money to replace it.As Sgt Frank tells me... often... "You're f'd up" lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtscience Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I lost a phone out in the LSD area about 3 weeks ago. I'ts a droid 2. If anyone finds it please e-mail dirtscience@msn.com. All I want off of it are the pictures which you are welcome to as well. Its mostly gold porn but no gps co-ords lol. You might get lucky and find some tracks and waypoints that are marked but the finder deserves at least that.Best Regards,Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
