It's my birth year.

Left it as is.

Now I'm bummed because I don't have a clue where I put it.

Hope it's not a sign of aging

If it's anywhere around the house I'm sure you'll come across it.

I have had luck puting sand 1/3 full in a glass jar and add coins then water till it is almost full,tighten lid and shake. Then pull out coins and save sand and jar for the next run.
