Lost for 18 years, found today

[stracci2000]

I lost this gold nugget in my garage in 2004.
Today, while sweeping behind the workbench, I found it!
It is gold in iron ore. I never thought I'd see it again, as the garage has been swept so many times, I assumed it had been swept up and thrown out. Will wonders never cease!

Haha, I was trying to shine it up when I lost it! I was going to make some kind of jewelry out of it.
I took it to the buffing wheel, but lost my grip. The buffing wheel threw it against the wall and it ricochetted into the deep abyss of my garage!

Yay!!! So happy for you!

Best of all, it is worth so much more today than in 2004!

Now you just need to find that tanzanite bracelet.

It’s got to be there somewhere just waiting to be discovered, just like this nugget!

Ive been missing a very expensive watch for 6 years. Maybe there is still hope for me!

If you think it hasn't left your house, and wasn't stolen, then maybe it's still under your roof somewhere!
