The year I graduated my sis took me on a car tour of the west - visited 3 1st cousins we had on the west coast.
On the way back we stopped at one of the tourist traps, a gold panning station in Colorado. We knew it was setup, you pay your money & swish a pan of gravel around & they put the few bits of gold in a vial & send you on your way. But what the heck we were tourists....
So I put my new gold class ring in my pocket, so it doesn't get dirty for the panning. We do our swishing, get back in the car, & I drive my sis' Citation for about 15 miles down the road. Huh, I'm not looking at my ring on the steering wheel... Oh yea, in my pocket.... Nope, ring not there. Oh, oh, I remember hearing 'thunk' when I took the car keys out of my pocket to leave the gold panning place. I musta dropped it in the grassy gravel parkinglot.
So I make a Uturn, my sis asks what I'm doing. Going back to get my ring. She has a kaniption, that's long gone, why'ed you do that, etc.
We get back, I pull up in the grass, get out, look about 10 seconds, and there was my ring.
For decades my sis would tease me about panning for gold to get 25 cents worth of gold, but losing my gold class ring for a bit....

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
