What have you lost, then found?

Inspired by the lost glasses.

Mine was found yesterday. A treasured arts and crafts hammered aluminum serving tray I inherited from my grandparents.

It went missing over two years ago. DH and I have racked our brains, asked everyone we can think of if we left it at their place etc. i have felt really grief stricken and a huge sense of loss.

Yesterday we made homemade pizza. I could not find our pizza pan and lost my cool a bit. DH stepped up and started searching through the cupboard where we keep baking trays. He found the pizza tray of course, but...

Lo and behold, stuck almost sideways at the back was the vintage tray!

Lovely sense of continuity with my long dead grandparents restored.

My old NDN lost an initialled gold signet ring when gardening in the 80s. He died around 2015 and the house was sold.
About six months after he died I was weeding a pot in our back garden when I unearthed it. Pot had only been there a year or so.
Could only conclude a bird had perhaps picked it up and dropped it, it landed in the pot and was covered over. Either way the son was thrilled to have it.

A necklace, I’ve lost it twice, it’s very sentimental. The first time was the day I moved in with my ex husband. I took it off because I’d had an accident and cut my head open, I took it off when cleaning the blood up. I thought it was gone for good. Then one day almost 3 years to the day I was cleaning out my purse while sat at my desk at work and it fell out. I’d not long broken up from my ex, it was like an omen. The second time was when I moved into my current home, again almost 3 years to the day it turned up in a dresser draw, a draw that we used almost daily & cleared out so many times. I opened it one night just before going to bed and it was just right in front of me, tangled in a charger that had been used so many times in that 3 years. I’ve not taken it off since 😆

I've recently found the 3 stone I lost a few years back.

I’ve done a bit of this as well. One of the few things easier to find then to lose.

When I was a child, I was out playing on the open common land near my home. I’d taken my favourite doll, and a lovely (truly, truly naff) plastic handbag full of all her clothes - and I lost the handbag and all its contents in the bracken. I looked for it, but couldn’t find it.

Years later, walking on the common, I found the bag and all the clothes!
