I remember a news story a few years ago , about a wrench falling out of the
sky
into someones yard, right when a airliner passed while near an airport..
another thought, we did find a socket out on the long
course at Bonneville last WOS, while doing a course checks after mishaps.
and IIRC: someone found a 9/16 wrench on the course at finals in 2002.

LOTS & LOTS of TLC.... Friend wants to get it out of his yard..
