I hate when that happens!

Been staying off my foot because of a heel problem I have. Been getting them stupid cortisone shots in my heel. Well I finally got out for about an hour or so today. Anywhooooo I found a musket ball and a 1700's decorative shoe buckle. Put them both in my pants front pocket. Had a couple errands to do before heading home. When I got home the buckle was a goner! Live and learn .........

I took my 10 year old out last weekend, and had a super frustrating hunt. We then hit a tot lot, and, as newbies, we were extremely excited to find a dime...which she lost about one minute after we dug it. It must have fallen next to one of the steel posts on the tot lot because I couldn't locate it again!!!!

Tonight, my 7 year old nephew and I dug a dime. He was THRILLED. Then, while I wasn't looking, he put it back in the hole and covered it up again.

clovis97,
What your nephew did is called "catch and release".

Was out in the Davis mountains, found a cave that had been an outlaw's camp, evidenced by all the left over items and soot on the ceiling. Among the things recovered was a complete five shot percussion pistol in a couple pieces (the only one I ever found). Put it in my son's backpack and let the 10 year old carry it out, got back to the truck and some pieces were missing. Never went back to look for it because it was dark by the time we got back and a long hike, no telling where it was lost...
Good luck on your foot, hope your cordisone shots work better than mine on my knees.
