Unbeknownst or unnoticed, the screw holding the thumbpiece on my S&W revolver must have been loose. After target shooting in the woods, the parts were missing from the gun. Woe was me. I found out that the local Chris Supply store rents metal detector devices, so with high hopes I spent a twenty to do this for a day. I went back to the area I had shot from; no luck for about an hour-and-a-half. Then to my great joy I had a signal from the device! I scrabbled in the weeds and dirt for a long time, but then there was the thumbpiece! Still had a signal from the detector, and the missing screw showed up also! It is unusual for a plan to work so well, so I am happy and grateful to have been able to find the missing parts. As they say, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile.
