Dropped Earing
My missus has just dropped an earing doown between my drivers seat and center armrest, just to the rear of the handbrake, we have had a good look for it but it seems to have vanished, will have another good look in daylight, but does anyone know any tips or tricks or where it might settle as its very cramped down there,
Thanks

Funny, my wife dropped a small packet of chewing gum in the same place. Even very small hands will not be able to get down there. She obtained a large tweezer/forceps, about 10 inches long, from work and was able to grab it and pull it out. If that doesn't work perhaps removing the centre console will give access.

It's not a huge job to take the seat out, and who knows what you might find.

You are probably gonna have to buy one of these to get it. How expensive were the earrings. Might be cheaper to just let them go. LOL. Sorry couldnt resist. I would try the magnetic wand like others suggested I use one all the time for dropped tools. Saved my butt doing the throttle body for a few things that I dropped that didnt go to the floor.

Nah....Rick's "ID" too labor intensive....10 min won't even qualify you for a celebratory (or cheap, even!) beer......invest capital and find it with this:
Amazon.com: Wired Waterproof Snake Plumbing Sewer Inspection Handheld Camera with 2.5 TFT-LCD Color Monitor Flexible Extended Tube (Extend to 9ft Detection Range): Camera & Photo
Then ****** it with this:
Amazon.com: KD 2391 Flexible Retrieving Tool: Automotive
You'll appreciate having the tools for awhile and can always blame the expense on the wife's carelessness...

I second the magnetic tool - good to have as part of your toolbox anyway. Get one that can extend and has a hinge so it can bend in every direction.
Option 2 is to use a shop vac with a small vent attachment and try to suck it out. Just clean out the vac prior to using it so you can find the earring inside.

Congrats on finding it!!! But to the magnetic tool people... gold is a non-ferrous metal, so that would only work if the earring had some cheap parts to it. No kidding, almost all the "exotic" or precious metals are non-ferrous so a magnetic tool is RARLEY the way to go. Just food for thought in the future gents.
