Missing box of brass

[RKJ]

A few weeks ago I lost a Leopold scope I looked everywhere for it, I found it 3 days later in the first place I looked, it was in a white tube sock in my safe. It was tucked along the side wall of the safe on an upper shelf.

I was coming home from shooting, I was almost home and got this sick felling that I forgot my rifles. I pulled over to check and I did forget them. Luckily I have my own range but it is 40 miles from my home, when I returned it was dark and they were still sitting on the shooting bench.

I did that once with my pistol box. I had backed into the parking lot and when I left I thought I had everything, Wrong! Sped back out the 25 miles to the range (public) and there it was right here I had left it. It's a conservation range but during the week it's not much used during working hours, so I got very lucky. Now I always pull in so that when I'm leaving I can scan the shooting areas, (just in case).
Also, I'm still wondering where the sights I took of a M70 are, I'd like to put them back on.

Brass Gremlin,s I have em Took me a couple - O - Years but I found their stash of MY BRASS Now and again they take bullets too but I don,t think they like them as well and by the way still can,t find the Bullets so my advice to you is spend every waking moment watching and you will catch them
Good Luck with your mission solder as Gremlins are well trained and very hard to catch
DOGG!!!

Sometimes I loose my train of thought and can't remember what I lost and am looking for!

What kind of base? I might have it in my junk

I know this feeling....I am searching high and low for a Ham radio antenna base. The world is too fast paced. We don't have time to remember anymore.....

I lost a Lee universal decapper die. I have spent at least 3 hours looking for it.
The best part is I found the 5 year old sales slip for it!

I've even caught myself looking for something, still in my other hand.
I'd run out of something to do, if I didn't spend all my time looking for the last thing I had. Maybe I need one of those surveillance cameras they're talking about, on that other thread.

mag mount 2 meter Larson. I've looked in all the usual places. I guess the unusual places are next....

"Buy some replacements the lost ones will turn up straight away"

Usually, a couple of hours after you purchase the replacement. It does work!

Bonus: then you have twice as many......

I spent an hour the other night looking for my green RCBS powder funnel.

It finally turned up, sitting on the bench, within a foot of where I last had saw it. I'd knocked something over that hit it and bounced it into a dark spot behind something else and I just had to rearrange the whole bench before my eye caught it.

My Forster trimmer is screwed to a huge board that I clamp to the bench and I can't find it. HUGE BOARD!!

[MaryB]

Just scrapped one... kept the magnet and checked it. Got tired of them being ripped off by high winds here.

Finally found the dern box of brass. Way up under the bench and a box within a box deal. I didn't remember putting it down there. Now it's time to cast up some bullets with my 2 new 45olds from MiHa.....if I could just find them.

[MaryB]

By the time you find the molds the brass will be lost again, or the primers or dies...

I lost my eye glasses a few years ago and was looking all over the house for them. Well when I found them they were right where they should be. I was wearing them and looking through them.

[Hickory]

They always show up the last place you look!

That's because you start looking at the wrong end first!

[CastingFool]

I'm not good at organizing my stuff, and sometimes while looking for something, I can remember exactly where I normally kept it in our old house prior to moving to the current one. That has happened to me on two different moves.
