I've looked about 6 feet ahead, 3 feet to the side, and 2 feet back.
How far could it go? *:-)

Could it be all scrunched up inside the saw somehow? -- H

Very good idea. Thanks. I looked once, in dim light, but becausae of
your post, I loooked again. Not there. There was really no room in
this electric chain saw for more than 10 inches of chain, instead of
the 32 inches or more that are missing.

So today, I was going to get on my hands and knees again, but I found
the chain as soon as I walked up to the bushes. Right on the ground
in a little pile, two feet behind where I had been holding the saw.
It was on the grass surrounded on 3 sides by the bed for the bushes,
and obscured by a bush when standing right above it, but not from the
sides where I had also stood to look before.

This time maybe the sun was in the right place, because the rivets
were very apparent.

Not broken, not rusty at all after three nights.
