Having posted on another thread, I thought I'd start my own.
I'm quite good at finding lost objects. If you've lost something then tell me a little about it and I'll try to help.

A beautiful orange ornamental glass ink pen (given to me as a child). My daughter borrowed it and I fear it has been put away/ lost / donated to charity/accidentally binned.

A gold bangle given to me by my grandparents for my 18th birthday. I loved it and wore it for months. Wore it as usual one evening and haven’t seen it since. Moved house many times since.

JollyHostess · 09/11/2021 13:23

I don't think OP is coming back 😂
Shame because it would have been fun, even if she had just made stuff up.

@JustSinginInTheRain I want to say your pen might be in a pocket or in an old school bag

@Tesoroxx did the doll get caught up in the bedclothes/folded up in a blanket that was on the bed? Did it end up at the bottom of the laundry basket (hidden by the things that never get washed)?

@WatermeLONE

My old high school exam results certificate. Lost it a long time ago but it's definitely in the house and I'd love to be able to find it again if you could help me Smile
Do you have old boxes or suitcases of old documents in the loft? Could it be in an envelope with something else by mistake?

Do you have any old handbags or coats that it could be lurking in the pocket of?
JollyHostess · 09/11/2021 13:31

@waffleyversatile1 inside a shoe or boot in the wardrobe? Inside a mug at the back of the kitchen cupboard?

@Whereohwhereohwhere down the side/back of the sofa? Hidden on a peg under a jacket?

My partner and I have a running joke that when we're looking for something it's always underneath something else 😂
So the first question is have you looked under things!

This is obviously all common sense/random guesses and won't help with things mysteriously misplaced in the past by someone else, like my mum's necklace.

I'm stopping now by the way 😂

I have 2 beautiful prints bought at a Christmas fair which I put somewhere safe upon moving out over a year ago. Couldn’t find them in new house and have since moved again and still can’t find them. I would love them back if you could help?

poshtonic · 14/11/2021 19:14

I lost a lovely ring- amethyst and diamond. Loveliest ring I've ever had .

UnicornsForLife · 14/11/2021 20:31

Ive lost a amethyst palm stone. It helps me relax and I cant find it anywhere :-(

Latenightreader · 14/11/2021 20:35

I can’t find a chain with my Grandad’s signet ring and a flat gold oval with a photo of my Nan etched onto it. If you have any ideas I would be very grateful.

I have also lost a small pearl and diamond brooch left to me by my great aunt. I have the matching earrings, but not the brooch, which was in its box. Haven’t seen that for some years now...

Pinkmagic1 · 14/11/2021 20:39

A beautiful heart shaped, gold and amethyst pendant that was a present from my DH. I lost it a couple of years ago now, but still think about it regularly and hope it will turn up one day.

BryanAdamsLeftAnkle · 14/11/2021 21:29

My mum's white gold wedding ring. It's been lost for a few years now.

Bolzana · 14/11/2021 21:52

I am not sure if you are still responding to this. But I lost the envelope my dad gave me when he was ill, it would mean the world if I could find it. Also the copies he made of my A levels because he was so proud.

LiJo2015 · 15/11/2021 11:56

Oh the irony of losing the OP! 😂😂😂

hilariousnamehere · 15/11/2021 11:57

Ahh I'd love it if you could! My favourite silver spinner ring, lost on a coach trip to the theatre in London in October. I've tried all the usual routes and resigned myself to making a new one, but if you have any insight I'd love to know Smile

SoupDragon · 19/11/2021 11:01

@Phepho if you happen to know where my credit & debit cards and driving license are that would marvellous 🤦🏻‍♀️

Almostmenopausal · 19/11/2021 23:13

Thank you OP!

I won a gorgeous engraved silver bracelet from Cow & Gate for Mother's Day when my girl was a baby, that said "Mummy 🤍 DD's name" on it and I've gone & lost it 😢

Thing is, we've moved house since and I've still not found it! I'm heartbroken

Tiredmum12389 · 26/01/2022 19:58

My husband had a soverign ring given to him by his late grandad. I realise this is an old post... but incase you see it.

Thanks

Sheffie83 · 28/01/2022 18:57

Hi, I have lost my iwatch, it's definitely in the house but no idea where!

Midlander88 · 31/01/2022 14:51

The solid gold heart shaped locket my grandma gave me.

Haven't found it in 10 years, but I didn't take it out the house, and I haven't moved house.

TheRealMrsMac · 09/03/2022 22:28

OP HAS BEEN LOST SINCE OCTOBER

clpsmum · 09/03/2022 22:34

My dragonfly pendant

RockinTheLockdown · 09/03/2022 23:09

@FauxPsychic

Alright, thanks OP. I lost a USB stick/flash drive some years ago. It's red and black in colour. I've always wondered where I lost it because I didnt find it where I thought I kept it. I know it wasn't stolen, just misplaced or fell through something.

I wish I could get it back.

@FauxPsychic I found one like that in a hotel corridor once.
Defiantly41 · 09/03/2022 23:17

My glasses! I've only had them a few weeks and they've disappeared somewhere in my house or garden, but I've searched everywhere

Thank you if you can help @Phepho

shininglight16 · 04/11/2023 02:07

Our wedding video footage, deleted by our videographer. Only a miracle can make the video footage come back, it would mean the world. Need to get it back from her PC or one of her 12 external hard drives, without getting corrupted, overwritten or damaged. I really want to treasure those memories for life. I'd like my daughter and my parents to see and relive those memories. Please help me 🙏
