And I hadn't been into either pocket for anything.
Yes, moment of combined despair(you know what those cost?) and "HOW THE BLEEP?" I checked around the bench, to the truck, in the truck, in the bags in case it fell there, and was left with it being somewhere between the bench and the 200 yard targets...
I walked that whole path, nothing. Then just before the next break when could do it again, I remembered something: I'd noticed once that if you had one in and left the other behind(no, I don't remember why), when you hit a certain distance it gave you a descending scale of tones; you got close, ascending scale. So I put the one in and started walking the path, and at about 150 yards I got ascending scale. Walk and look, then descending scale, so turn around and search again. Several times of descending/ascending to narrow it down. Then, about the middle of the distance start moving a little to either side, back and forth, until 'ahHA!' No I don't know if I said it, I did think it. Huge relief as I picked it up and put it in. It'd been 2-3 feet to the side of that pocket(no, I don't know how, I don't know how the hell it came out at all). There's also that that silver color blended pretty well with the dead grass, which made finding it harder.

I think I'm going to get some kind of pill holder to put them in in the range bag in the future.
First thing when got back to the line went to the family on one side of me and apologized for the delay and told them why, no problem. Went to the guy on the other side and explained to him, he said "Shit happens" and took off his muffs to show his aids. "I drop mine all the time."
All's well, etc., but I could have done without that.

Seems like your range has reasonable/cool people,makes for a better day of shooting.
That said,why I am buying a home with a lot of land,the backdoor will be my range,will allow neighbors/friends to shoot there and will always allow safe hunters on me property.
My hearing aids are about ten years old but they are linked to my cellphone - if you lose them the cellphone will guide you to them and if you are not close it will tell you the last place they were - I have had to use it numerous times including one time when i was 9 miles away from where I last l;eft them
Lost one of mine running a wood chipper. Branch slapped me and stuff went flying.
Yes, I DO know how much the cost.
A little over a year ago, I was walking across my patio when I got dive-bombed by a wasp. I brushed my ear and one went flying.
$4500 later, I had a new set.
Last summer, I declared War on Wasps and the apple-juice/boric acid bait seems to have done its job.
I repurposed an aspirin bottle to hold mine
Old school film roll containers are great for stuff like that.
You get that little heart stopping feeling. Like when you reach around to your back pocket for the wallet and it's not there.
