Lost treasures found

[biggs682]

Well its been a good weekend for finds in the Biggs household.

Yesterday whilst doing a bit of gardening I found the garage key that has been missing for a year.

Then today whilst moving bits in the garage I found the Campagnolo Strada crankset and the close ratio suntour block that have been missing for about a year and half.

Another other cc'ers found any missing treasures?

I've been in your garage - there are Japanese soldiers in there that don't know the war is over!

Hands up I admit it is terrible, really ought to sort it out one day.......

You kids'll clear it out when you die and find some component worth £5 million. You're probably a millionaire and don't even know it!

I have never had a lot to lose, so I am not likely to have a surprise find.

At about 21 I had a serious accident on the way home from nightshirt. Ambulance, surgery, recuperation for 2 weeks in hospital, 2 months off.
Sometime in that time I realised my wedding band was missing, gone, no idea where.

About 8 months later I was doing a stock check back at work which involved counting parts in hundreds of parts bins. I pulled one down to check, got half way through, grabbed a handful of parts and there sat my ring .

No real surprise, it'd obviously fallen off my finger....but the bin it was in was so so rarely, if ever, used. They were parts I couldn't remember ever using barring an occasional count during stock check

Ditto. There's probably also half a French cycling team from the first time the Tour de France visited the UK. And their bikes.

There have been loads of metal detector peeps in the fields near me over the past few weekends - I got chatting to one of them today when I was out walking my dogs, and he was telling me that someone from the 13th century appears to have been a bit absent minded in a field they had been in last weekend and left several silver coins lying about in the soil.

Apparently Biggs has a cellar, and his real surname is Fritzl...
