One time with too damn much focus for one specific thing that I chucked something I should have kept. I went home and literally knocked my head on the wall for what I threw away when it dawned on me what it was (3 large industrial sapphires joined while looking for agate), went back the next day and spent 10 hours looking for it. Never found it. I hope I never do that again.
