What's the nastiest or strangest thing you've ever pawed through; what are the greatest lengths you've ever gone to try to find or retrieve something of monetary or sentimental value that you've lost?
I’ve misplaced my mouth guard. It’s a relatively small, clear plastic thing that represents over $300 in dental services. I’ve already looked everywhere I can think of and looked through all the trash and garbage, and that was not all pleasant; as you can imagine, because I just couldn’t stand the idea that the damn thing might have fallen into a trash can and I could have thrown it out. It just made me wonder what other people may have done to try to find or retrieve things of value.

I’ve walked for miles to heal a wounded relationship.
When I was fifteen, I was given £50 by an Uncle for helping him with his garden. Wow as much as that, last of the high rollers. Anyway that much money was a fairly big deal to me back then so I was “fondling” it with glee as I walked home. Trouble was it was a very windy day. Yes, you can guess the rest. All five “tenners” were blown out of my feverish paws!! Now to answer your question, I ran after the money, stamping on one, chasing two more into someones garden. I guess I pawed their flower beds. The other two were soon retrieved from a nearby bush. That was MY money & by gum I wasn’t about to give it up easily. :¬)
I was like 11 or 12 and my friend and I were at the lake fishing. We hadn’t really caught anything at all from that lake all summer so we had decided to be slick and raid my friends dad’s tacklebox for some lures to give a try, which was strictly forbidden. We both grabbed a couple lures and snuck them to the lake with us, and lo and behold, I landed a fish after about half an hour. Problem was, the fish had completely inhaled the lure, and swallowed it so completely it was no longer even visible, only the line running out of the fish’s guts and out it’s mouth was there. At first we tried just yanking it out but that only led to a very bloody mess, and a broken line. My friend started freaking out at that point, saying his dad would notice if this lure was missing, and he would be extremely pissed. Not retrieving the lure was not an option. I eventually tried to jam my hand down this fish’s mouth, and into the bloody pulp that used to be its organs, but I still couldn’t free it. We eventually had to basically disect and disembowel that poor fish with our bare hands to do it, but we finally did get that four dollar piece of plastic out of the thing. My friends dad never had a clue.
My kid choked on and ultimately swallowed a penny and per Doctors orders I had to verify he passed the coin or we would have to bring him in. I found it! :O
I dropped my keys in a porta-john once.
The kind of keys that have the chip in them and cost a fortune to replace.
a garden rake and bleach were involved in their rescue
