    Are 21st century keys ferrous?

    I lost on of my 9-5's keys in a tidal mud flat a few weeks ago. I have a vague idea of where, and a dream of wading out on a strong ebb with a metal detector and finding the missing key. At the least I'll get back a favored key chain. I'll behappy even if I have a third key to act as a mechanical-only spare, even if the electronics don't work.

    No, but that doesn't mean you can't find one with a good metal detector, do wonder how many other things you will find first.

    My daughter goes with me metal detecting quite often. You wouldn't believe the things we find! We have found everything from old coins to sunglasses and you name it in between! So much fun too. Good luck on your search. You will find your keys and more.
