Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Things you have put in a safe place and cannot find

Years ago when they banned sound inhibitors in New South Wales I hid one in a safe place at one of my old homes, I distinctly remember saying "this is the greatest hiding place ever".

Apparently I was right.

I wonder if anyone ever found it.

A guy from The Great Down Under told me about a very good brand of steels for sharpening knives.

I wrote it down and got a lil extra cash and was gonna buy one.

Still can’t find the name of the Steel.........wonder if JSTUART will tell me again...

Uncle lost all his fencing tools. Kept everything in a bucket.
Asked him where the last place he mended fence was, Went up in that field, and there in the corner was the bucket, full of red water, everything rusted up tight. Been up there a year or so.

Lol, my wife calls it Man Looking.

My dad never forgets or loses anything. Usually.

My wife got him a tube of lube for his meat slicer, he "put it up".


Went a year until he needed it, turned the house upside down, sick and mad.

Wife gave him another one day when we were there, he said "I'll put this one up
and not lose it".


Yep, when we got home he called, "guess what was right were I was going to put this tube"!


Friends wife lost one of the remote fob programmed keys to her car.
Key, programming, programming other key...$300 or so.
Next day she found the lost one.
Only it won't work now, since they changed everything programming the replacement.

The Gentleman's name is Jim Leetham, from Deniliquin NSW.

Thank you Young Lad........hope you are doing well........building a Mauser Myself.

Stuck a Remington 870 police model in the kitchen island once when life was a bit more sporty. Months went by, I went to look for it and could not remember where I had put it. Started wondering if someone had stolen it, but they took nothing else so that didn’t add up. Finally found it when I was moving about a year later. Always wondered if I would have remembered it was there if I needed it.

I have a S&W Model 35 somewhere. They are fairly rare, not that I could sell it, because I can't find it.

Many.

I found a Ford once... when I was cutting the back yard.

Wherever it is, it’ll be in the last place you look 😮

My suspenders. People are going to start calling me Phil MaCrackin.

A fellow gave me 200 or so 375 H&H once fired brass that I very carefully put away some place safe and secure. . I always wanted a 375 H&H. I lucked into a 500 250, maybe 270 grain bullets, I know exactly where those bullets are. I already was working with a 375 Whelen, I had worked up my loads for that rifle using cast bullets. Those loads proved accurate, no leading, with great penetration. I may need to use the jacked bullets for playing with the 375 Whelen. Any way I have yet to find the 375 H&H brass over the past 20 or so years.

LOL!! When I moved into this house, I was mowing a tall patch of weeds in the backyard when - BAM! - I hit a pile of pistons.

My wedding ring....

If you don' want lose the most valuable "thing", put her up on a pedestal. .

I hid the second set of keys for my safe room 14 years ago. Still looking! Must have been a good hiding spot!

Too numerous to mention, they usually turn up.

Used my Zeiss 10x40 Classics all through archery season a few years back but they were nowhere to be found for the rifle opener. Ended up going out opening weekend without them and assumed I left them on a hillside somewhere so bought a new pair of Minox from Camerland to finish the season. As soon as the season closed, I found the Zeiss' on the top shelf of my safe buried under some stuff...
