I lost a fountain pen on my way to school only a few weeks after starting the comprehensive. Looked up and down this grass verge for ages, I knew exactly where it had fallen, couldn't see it.I loath and detest baling heavy hay crops rowed up with an Acrobat. Worst things in the world like ever!!!
I lost a cheap Timex auto wind watch in the early seventies, baling hay on my then Dads farm. I was about 14/15. Took it off cuz I was delving into the intricacies of Rasper? Knotters on an MF 20 baler. Left it on the bale chamber I think.
About 15 or 20 years later it was ploughed up by someone else and it got back to me.
Wound it up and it worked.
Five years later, mere weeks before O-levels, whilst walking on the same path a council ride-on lawnmower was coming towards us, trimming the verge.
Spat the fountain pen out almost at my feet. Not a mark on it, and with fresh ink it was fine. I'm pretty sure I still have it somewhere...
