Where's Waldo?

Last year, while looking at my kopek type set, I managed to lose the dated [1709] Peter I silver kopek (0.28g standard - never weighed my example but should be roughly that; admittedly it's pretty thin so it wasn't that tiny).
Looked all over the place, thought I lost it forever. Then randomly noticed it while clearing my computer table - almost a year later.

(Fun related-ish story: my collection, theoretically, includes a late[1] copper pulo of Tver - a coin about as tiny as the wire silver kopeks [if not tinier], but copper. It should darn well be in a ziploc baggie - and I suspect it will turn out to be in one if/when I ever find it - but I hadn't seen it in over a year.)


[1] the guy I bought it from claimed that it was from the early 16th century - one of the last issues of that ridiculously tiny denomination, ironically a distant descendant of the not-particularly-tiny Byzantine follis

I dropped an Ionian 1/24 stater the same way. I did find it after many a colorful word and repeatedly ranting, that the coin had been lost for 2500 years, then found and then lost on my watch. I realized that if I didn't find it quickly my son would have found it and I would have had to change him with a metal detector. Not sure how something like affects value.
