Having an old photo showing a 99G with a 24" 410 barrel taken in your house, but not having ANY idea when you got the 410 barrel, where you got it from, or where it is now. I can locate two 22" 410 barrels. Time to do a deep clean. Goodness knows what I'll find. I'd say I'm getting old, but I've always been like this.

I just sold the rest of my coin collection. A couple months ago I was looking at my Bright Red Brilliant Uncirculated 1909 S Indian Head penny. I called my coin shop and he asked if it had been graded. I told him no, I bought it from him years ago before the MS grading system came along. He said I really need to get it graded, 2 points could be $800-$1000. Now I can't find it anywhere. I had it in my grubby fingers and stuck it somewhere I wouldn't loose it, and lost it. It will turn up again, in 10-12 years.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

I recently bought a hard to find peep sight for the beloved Marlin 57 22LR that I apparently don't own anymore.

My wife and my approach to a misplaced item is, "It will eventually show up". I was rummaging though my ammo the other day and came across two boxes of 222 that I'd forgotten I had, went to get my 222 Contender barrel to put it on the frame and it wasn't with the other barrels ... it will eventually show up.

I have simply come to expect that there is always going to be an item missing in my life. Right now it's an Winchester M94 upper tang screw. It keeps me wandering, searching and awaiting that something to turn up again. Yesterday someone returned an Russian engraved axe head and a Nepali kukri that I had gifted them a quarter century back. The big surprise was being also gifted a Russell Original Belt knife. Like the Biblical widow I keep looking for my proverbial "lost mite."

No coins missing here, either pennies or mites. I am missing a few years of my life though- I can't possibly be as old as I am...

My constant accumulator's frustration,...is knowing I have an item "somewhere", looking for it when I need it, then buying another one because the original is lost somewhere under the layers of other stuff "I'm gonna need soon"...
Let's each remember the "joy" we discovered in the treasures and memories, when cleaning out a loved-one's home after they've gone... better to give it away, and focus on just what we need right now!

Amen. Having just waded through my Mom's lifetime accumulation I know of whence you speak. (Would that she had pack-ratted gun stuff instead of kitchen gadgets though!)
Someone's gonna have a field day (or a nightmare) when sorting my stuff. Anybody want the job? You might find the Lyman Alaskan I know is here somewhere...

I lose stuff all the time. Set it down, turn around, and it's gone. And like Joe, I put things where I can find them only to lose them forever. I don't tell my wife I've lost things any more because her response is always "Well, where did you have it last"?

If I had a dime for every time my Mom, or ex-wife, or girlfriend ever said that to me I would have enough money to buy Joe a new 1909 S VDB penny to replace the one he spent at the hardware store last week.

My go to response when things go missing is to the wife: “ You cleaned my area again, didn’t you?”. Gets me in trouble, but often it’s true. Just found something yesterday I thought had been mailed off a month ago. Obviously all her fault.

I know where things should be but can't find them because they are not there.
I bought a screw thread checking gauge from Brownell's. When it came only half of the holes were threaded so they sent me another correct one. Every time I need it the only one I can find is the bad one and it never has the a threaded hole for what I'm checking.
My wife is always telling me I need to move my pile out of the kitchen, family room, desk, etc. After four or five times I reluctantly gather it up and haul it to the basement...set it down...and forget all about it till I need again. By then I can only remember working with it up stairs but not where I set it down in the basement.

Employees are handy for blaming things on. When I let my last one go a couple years ago I realized it's not always them that done the deed! Should probably keep a slacky around just so there's a "responsible party" on board at all times.

The trick is to move every few years. Then you have to go through stuff to pack it up and you find some of the missing items. we're putting our cabin up for sale next week and have found a few things while uncluttering the premises. Realtor told us to unclutter it. Good thing too, we probably couldn't have gotten all the stuff out in a timely manner once it went into escrow. We started last fall and are still hauling stuff out of there. But then we couldn't get in there from December to April. I'm still looking for that 375 barrel I owe a member here.
