Your story reminds me of the time I ran around my neighborhood with my house key under the insole of my shoe. Got home from a 3 mile run, and realized the key was gone. Walked back over the full 3 miles, looking down the whole way, and didn't find it. Had to break out a window to get in my place. At least I was only out the cost of getting another key made.

Glad to hear! Metal detector for the win.

Was it visible at all when the metal detector went off?

Glad that you found your piece. Too bad you lost it again in a unfortunate boating accident on the way back home.

Careful doing this.

My dad always carried a 22 pistol carrying it the exact same way. Long story short, the pistol fell off, discharged, and the bullet went in his back.

The good lord was watching out, the bullet (FMJ) went in approximately 1" due to the angle of trajectory. A couple of local anesthetic shots, and they cut it out.

But makes me think twice anytime I transport a pistol in a tractor/utv/fourwheeler.

I did this with my keys while mowing my mom's 16-acre field. I had no replacement key (had recently lost the spare and hadn't replace yet), and it's a keyless fob.

Car company lets me know that the car will have to be trailered to HQ on East Coast to be reprogrammed, and I could expect around 5k in expenses to get a new key (WTF?!)

Needless to say, I spent a lot of time with a metal detector as well as a drag behind magnet combing over that field. Eventually my brother found it in a totally separate area from where I had mowed. It had stuck in the seat of the mower and then fallen out in a different spot when he continued mowing. I was so danged lucky, and that was an awful 2 days.

Not discounting what happened here but it was not a .22 FMJ.

no such thing

What model Glock is that ???

The pic almost makes it look like a cross between a revolver and a Shield.
