Bummer, lost a new Manker E-11 !

Ugh… been there before too. Good luck getting it back. Do post pics if you find it again. I lost a SF 6P for 7-8 months, it managed to roll in between my dryer and washer. It was all caked and gunked up when I found it. It still worked fine though. I lost a Kershaw knife on the side of my brother in laws house for a winter season cutting boxes. I found it in the spring after a season of winter rain storms. It had just a little red rust around the edges that I was able to easily wipe off. Gotta love Kershaws 8CR13MOV… good budget steel.

Why you didn’t get some “Utorch UT01”s ? :beer:

That sucks, I love my E11. Lost mines in a cardboard trash compacter & it survived, tough little light.

I changed the clip on mines to the thrunite t10 clip and added one of the lumintop worm glow bands. The light doesn’t leave my pocket as you can see in the pic it has some love marks but still going. Hope you find yours.

I had to do a search to figure out what it was.

Well… I remember what Manker did for Old Lumens. Call me old fashioned, but I value loyalty greatly even at my own expense.

First thing I do with these little AA lights is remove the clip. When clipped, they ride way too high in the pocket and pop out of my pocket when I bend over or sit down.

Streamer, yes, I ordered 2, but I wanted to do so anyway. My reasoning is that it’s a pretty good light, and if a cell is in the form of a AA it’ll work in it. I like that versatility. I wanted to order 3 but I’m trying to cut back, plus the Q8 is coming due soon, so only 2. I’m counting on finding the light after the spring thaw. (fingers crossed for luck)

I’ve found other things that I thought were lost “forever”. There is a “magic month” were everything is crushed down flat and things are easy to find. Once things start growing it’s impossible. It’s during that time that I pick up a lot of brass cartridge cases that got “lost” in the grass, and I pick up a lot of bullets from winter shooting that get remelted and recast into new bullets.

Maybe what I should do is get another ultratac K18 and wear it around my neck to prevent loss. The K18 is a pretty decent light and it’ll also run on any cell in the form of a AAA, USB port chargers are also available for it. Mil’ Spec’ dog tag chains are inexpensive and automobile key “push the button to separate” key rings are also.

If I lose another E-11 I’ll get back into search mode for another “always on me” type of light.

Just lost one of my knives last week.
No lights lost for months.
But… Did you really EDC yours? Wasn’t it more ODCing?
Not being impolite, but that is what I like about those cheaper knives and lights.
Lose it, look for it, don’t find it, replace it, done.

Yeah, I had the same thought, EDC has taken on a usage I no longer understand.

Curious… what is ODC?

One day carry…
Lost at it’s first day.

Some rental outfits offer metal detectors. If not good now then in the spring; one should pick up that much metal easily :wink: Or there may be a local metal detecting enthusiast group who could offer assistance. Just offering a $5 reward and some land to detect on would probably be enough to get a couple guys out there to search :smiley:

If you love something set it free.
If it comes back it’s yours.
If it doesn’t, hunt it down & kill it

Next time, GPS Tracker will help you. I saw some sample at my local dealer. It’s a coin-size, has app for IOS and Android.

I lost a mini mag with my house keys attached to it. First time I ever lost something that wasn’t stolen. Wasn’t too broken up about it since it was free. I would have been upset if my e11 disappeared though .

If you love something set it free.
If it comes back no one else wanted it.
Set it free again.
:smiling_imp:

If it makes you feel any better, I lost my platinum wedding band snorkeling and free diving on Maui. Thats the most $$$ thing I have ever lost.

The same thing happened to my friend, literally hours after his wedding in Hawaii. Needless to say, his new wife was thrilled.
Brian, I hope you find your light, still in working order.

YEP!!! same thing, a week after my wedding on our honeymoon. Now whenever I see people with metal detectors at the beach i know exactly what they are doing.

Sorry to hear you lost your E11.

Thanks for against to clone.

Please PM your shipping information, you will get a free new E11 from Manker.
