20 years lost, now found!

[Vonclemen29]

When I was about 9 my grandad gave me a army corp of engineers compass that his dad gave him in 46'. It had a wristband like a watch leather.I had it about two hours before I lost it picking up limbs in his orchard. Fell out of my field jacket pocket. For years i felt bad about loosing it.Well today, 20 years later, I was detecting in his orchard looking for v nickels, or anything else when, bam loud hit, popped a hole an I saw it! I wasn't even thinking about, heck I thought I lost it in the burn pile dumping the limbs, and it actually still works. Well here's the pics, an my grandad got to see it again today! He was happy about it! Thought I'd share it, I'm happy about it!

Nice story. I am still looking for the Cub Scout ring that I lost in 1964 in my folks yard (woods), or my Dad's WW2 dog tag that he put on our dogs collar about the same time.

Write the story of it along with dates and age and put in a ziploc bag keep the compass with the story in a box. It will be neat for people/family to see the compass and read your story.
