I believe this has happened before on an episode. There is a small floating mini buoy you can buy online or at a marine supply store to attach to your key chain. In the event you drop your keys the mini body floats and you can find your keys. Good luck!
Good solution! It definitely happened before, but it was Angelina who dropped them. They successfully got them back at the time. Fingers crossed this set will be found, too.
You beat me to this as I was going to say exactly the same. The cork ball key rings that you buy for boat keys are excellent because they are made to float and also would probably be too big to slip between the bridge boards. Another solution would be to put something under the gaps in the bridge by the door to catch anything that drips through them (or block the gaps). These solutions have to be easier than fishing for lost submerged keys. X
my family did the same, sailing craft. we had to figure out how many keys it holds and float. keep in mind there are various models and designs. Our floated 3 keys. so we selected (targeted) keys; vehicle, main boat key and a padlock key (to galley box cover on the dock). for her with the lost sets of keys, might contain more keys than the float can handle, since you can go down there, attach a length of ribbon which will lay on top of detritus.
I hate to say this but that moat is not at all healthy for the fish or other wildlife. You need to make it a priority next year to clean it out, and do something for the water quality. In addition, if you still want to dig out the chambers under the chateau, you will need to drain the moat to remove the water from there too.
Phil you should put chicken wire mounted to the underside of the bridge to catch anything that falls thru the cracks and it won’t be seen when looking from the side of the bridge. Cheers Kirk
Rabbit wire!
It would catch lots of leaves and other debris too though, so you'd have to clean it regularly.
That or a large outdoor rug.
Just a suggestion- as fun as fishing looks - sailors use either a plastic or cork fob with their keys!
I thought you planned on cleaning the moat of debris and sticks/leaves? It needs it!
Maybe make a beer art out of all the beer tops and hang it in your pup. Lol! Like a mosaic piece.
I love your videos, you sweet duo. Years ago, I locked myself out of car twice in two days. Never again. I never leave house without neck lanyard w/xtra car, house keys, tiny flashlight,
whistle. After AM bath, get dressed, if watch goes on, lanyard goes on. Never been locked out again (in 30+ yrs). Works for me.And keys on lanyard---easier to find, I suspect, if lost.
Angelina, Phil didn't really loose his keys; he's just testing your abilities as a detectorist...lol.
Two key related options, first you could get one of those chains that rewind and attach it to your key ring and the other end to your belt so you can’t drop them in the moat in the first place or go to a store get a floating key ring they are often used by boaters so try a boating/diving supply house to source it. It’ll be a bit bulky but easier than ‘mining the moat’. Good luck with the keys already in the moat though.

A Preventative Suggestion. Good Evening from Canada! Thank you both so much for all of your wonderful videos. I hope this finds both of you and Lightning well. Since you have access to the underside of both bridges how about making "a safety net?" You could use long lengths of fine door/window screen cut to the length of each bridge. To make it wide enough sew or glue a few panels together and when they are wide enough they could be secured to the underside of the bridges out-of-sight by spacing grommets in the screen and attaching the net with carabiners to either the metal bridge supports or hooks into the wooden deck base with screw in hooks. Keep a bit of slack in the net so nothing bounces out but at least if something fell through you could easily retrieve the item. When its completed it would be low profile and drak enough to blend into the bottom of each bridge.
Best of luck to you both in all of your ventures and health. I hope you get your keys back.
P.S. Hope all is going well at the Red Lion Pub as well!
Take care Cheers.
Was thinking something similar, as flyscreen wire can easily be hidden and won't allow anything large to do through. Good luck.
you really need to muck out the moat
As I said once before you need to buy a key fob meant for a boat . You would never need to worry about dropping your keys in the moat again.
I noticed there is fish in there, kind of hard not to miss lol, but have you guys thought of draining that moat and looking into sealing the edges and bottom so that you can drain the basement and tunnels below the chateau?
Will also make things much much easier to find any dropped items. Kind of hope that huge fish didnt swallow the keys when they plopped and hit the water thinking they were food.
My grandchildren would help you. They call it magnetic fishing. We spent a lot of time during the summer holidays doing this as they enjoyed cleaning out the local river. We like to think we are helping the environment. Our biggest find was a metal railing and watching them work as a team to get it out was interesting.
I remember when you had to fish out Angelinas' keys😀 eventful....
Phil, if you put your keys on a lanyard you can put them around your neck and then if you drop them they don't go anywhere.
Why don't you span netting under the bridge to catch things that fall. 😁 😊
How is your cute little squirrel, he / she wont be little any more
There are a couple of solutions to that problem. One being keep a spare key somewhere that you can get to it (meaning making extra keys). Or you can get a floating disk/ring to attach to your key ring. Apparently this has happened before. Another thing you can do is put new slats of wood on the bridge and close all the gaps and use a fencing around the sides to stop anything from falling in the moat. Have a great day
If you ever had a tent/marquee for a wedding, that metal square looks like the base that holds the pipe for pipe and draping.
So glad to see you back! I have missed your daily/weekly blogs. You must be very busy with the pub! Good luck finding the keys and wish we could see you more often!
Me too!
That moat really needs cleaning out! Might have to make it a regular job lol.
Next time you're near a marina go into the shop that sells boat supplies. They sell floats for key rings. Let me know if you can't find them and I will send you 2 one for you and one for Angelina since I live near the New Hampshire Seacoast, their easy to get.
Just a suggestion, it might be wise to neatly put a wire fine netting under the planks to catch things you drop but suggestion to put a float device on your keys is a good one.
Phil, I have a solution get a retractable Keychain it goes from your pants belt loop to the keyring or buy a floating keyring.
Problem solved. 👍 There's one other thing you can try, laying a large welcoming mat at your door.
LOL! You'll have to get one of those styrofoam key fobs that boaters put their boat keys on. Or else string a fine net under the bridges.
At a guess, you probably found a variety of junk people tossed because it was convenient. A bicycle? Parts to a lawnmower? A rake? Your moat is quite tidy, at least under the bridge.
This would be a good time to hide a set of keys to the house/car somewhere on the property (other than in the moat Lol).
Phil! Like others have said we’ve all been through this before🤣. Corks, small plastic ball etc etc. I know this as have a small tinny boat and 2 jetskis. First priority is put your keys on a floating device. If you love being surrounded by water then it’s a must. Although 12 years of boating and jet skiing. I’ve never lost my keys😋😝😝. Oh okay! I once lost my jetski but that’s Symantec’s 😫
Keys are generally not magnetic, so I hope you have something else on your keyring that's made of a magnetic metal? I found this out the hard way when I had a key break off in the ignition of a car in extremely cold weather. We couldn't get the portion still in the lock out and had to call a locksmith. I asked him why we couldn't just use a magnet to get it out, and he said that most modern keys are brass, not a ferrous metal, and thus not magnetic. Anyway, hope you find your keys! Might be worth stapling some metal screen underneath that deck to catch things that get dropped.
How about small netting stapled under the bridge?
I mean, my son has a chain from his wallet with his keychain at the end... Back pocket wallet and front pocket keys. I got it for him because it was fashionable, but he says it's saved his bacon a few times keeping him from losing one or the other.
My stepfather used to have a bunch of keys on him at all times because he would switch between two vehicles several times a day, plus the keys to his business were many. He had one of those things janitors use that are on a cord and retract into a jobby that clips to a belt loop.
It seems to me that floating keys is great, but not having them get that far would be a better plan? Plus you don't have to worry about them when you're out and about either.
Perhaps you should attach a screen to the underside of the bridge. That will keep things from falling into the moat.
Oh how annoying, you will just have to keep trying. You never know you might actually find them and also something else than bottle tops😂 Nice to see you both
I don’t think I ever got to see the morning salon finished. Did you post a video displaying it? If so can you tell me which one? Cheers, Doc🤘🏼
BEST TO YOU, ASK FISH TO HELP YOU WITH THE KEYS.
I used to have a key ring from Venice Italy that had a foam airplane on it to celebrate the inaugural flight on DL from Venice to Atlanta. The foam was to float your keys if they fell into the canals.
Again with the keys! Glad your back, I’m sure you have been busy. The moat is extremely low. Best of fall greetings.
I had a similar problem once.
I put a peice of plywood under at an angle for leaf debris & rain to shed away but more solid objects like keys, screws, tools to stay for a few hours until I could shimmy down & around to retrieve. The wood could be painted to blend in with the buildings stone.
Just an idea, dunno if it'd cause more greif then good.
The rabbit wire someone mentioned below would be good too but I'd cover with a large cheap outdoor mat or rug during the fall to keep debris out of the wire.
Probably a lot of kids toys in that moat too. Too bad there's no way to really dredge it to see what kind of non-metal goodies there are.
Definitely needs dredging and that would make key hunting easier. Good luck. xx
my next suggestion. make "dump boat", dredge that area, putting stuff on the boat. take to edge dump on land metal detect away and find. 🙂
We have decking pieces that sit on top of the wood and it would prevent items falling through. I hope you found your keys by now. Nice seeing you both again.
You like being surrounded by water at your chateau, I would love it because of all the trees.
Excited your back we all missed you both . Hope you find your keys if there is another go at it .
As you dig dump the muck out every little bit less muck is good that small bridge of stone that showed up may be to keep the koi in originally but let the water move at a certain level also good time to get the fish fountain out and repair with water low
A fishing bobber on the key chain?? I would fasten a wire mesh under the walkway especially near the door area..good luck!!
Bigger magnet
That's quite a large fish swimming about in there . Looks as if that entire moat could use a proper dredging , leaves , limbs , etc. certainly build up over time . As shallow as that is you could probably run a tallish tractor through the whole lot with a bucket on the front and clear it all out .
Have missed seeing you, glad your back. Sorry about the keys.
Hi Angelina and Phil. The thing is that it was an interesting video. I enjoyed it. Best wishes
Beautiful segment today-I wonder, does Lightening ever seem lonely without another dog to play with? Just curious. Thx ❤️
Welcome back
Oh the joys of owning a château 😄. That did look like fun though. You both have patience. Good luck replacing them. It's getting chilly there? Happy Autumn.
Metal and magnet detecting 🎉
you might get a big mat and place it by the doors entry so if you drop something it may not go into the water. I love to watch magnetic fishing
or put chicken wire on the underside for the whole bridge, that way nothing falls through but water will still be able to pass.
Blessings hope you find them
Stopping by to see how you two are doing.
I was hoping you would metal detect in the moat but sorry it had to be to try and find your keys. Better luck next time!
Do you guys have issues with snakes? Where I live, in Arkansas, we would most definitely have water mocassins! You guys need boaters key rings lol
I hope you find your keys. Your chateau is beautiful, surrounded by water is a wonderful feature. Lightning is so pretty. When I kayak I have a small flotation piece that makes my keys stay afloat maybe that may be helpful for you.
Wish we could get some chilly days or evenings. 🙁😒
I know you need some kind of separation between the wooden planks on the bridge, but maybe you could instal some kind of net under the bridge,and in case you drop something, it will stay on the net and won't fall into the water. This will also be helpful if you drop a phone or anything that will be damage in the water.
Install fine metal window screening underneath the bridge's walkway.
Sure miss you guys! 😢
So great to see you, it’s been awhile. Water level is so low. Hopefully you will catch up with rain soon. Would love an update on the morning salon. Hope to see you more frequently. Also, they sell special key chains that float. Maybe purchase a few of those.
Any update on the Bubble system for the moat…and a good dredging
So sorry you didn't find your keys but I do have some questions the kitchen that you'd redone the floor in the old kitchen is that going to be where you put your kitchen at and then I wonder are you ever going to look for the tunnels under the chateau or I should say try to get into the tunnels under the chateau they may be perfectly dry some chateaus back in the old days had the biggest kitchen was in the basement I do love watching you guys restore the castle to its famous Glory and I just hope you keep with it being the way it used to be hope you all the good luck love watching you
Love your choice of music 🎶
Did you look in the vines under the bridge?
maybe someone will send you a logo floating key ring!😀
Definitely need a floating key fob. Lighting looks dapper per usual. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
You need to go either side of bridge , put fine screen wire under the length of walkway from underneath for future .. ,
It was good to see lightning😊
I use a carabenar for my keys and clip them to my belt loop. Hope you find your keys. wish I could enjoy a fire place now. I'm ready for fall.
I'm sure I have texted this on an earlier episode but ---get some gauze type wire and cover your bridge, and --- put a float of some kind on your keyring!! Alternatively you could get the correct key ready in your hand before you step onto the bridge.
The massive piece of metal looks like a scaffolding base plate to me
Their are key chains that attace to your belt loop and can be pulled out so you can reach the key lock and then it retracts.
Much Love to The Both of You!
I have a suggestion for viewing with Lightning ⚡️… Dawang
He will positively Adore him…As do I.
I Love The Château Life outerwear on offer… Thank You.
A Yachtsmans Key fob will be a splendid addition… Viel Glück
P.S.
I would Love to be there to assist ❤
Put metal mess/screening under the bridge to catch items
One day that crown is going to found 😂😂 that big thing closes up the holes in your chimney, from the burners
Good luck, that’s a problem
It was great to see Angelina!
You need a bigger magnet
Well done
Perhaps get a chain on your key and link it to your pants belt loop or something.
You will have much better luck if you drag the magnet along the bottom or close to the bottom and they make massive magnets for magnet fishing. If you get one of those you will probably find lots of stuff. But even the huge ones have trouble finding things under a lot of silt.
Have you looked on the underside of the bridge? Maybe the keys were caught in the cracks...
I’m so glad you lost your keys, when are we detecting the rest of the property😂😂, find where they would have hung clothes to dry 😃
You are supposed to swing the detector side to side to make it search correctly.
OMG< I remember when Angelina dropped hers in the moat as well, what is that big fish swimming around in the moat? that thing is huge. you two are a lot braver than I am, I don't think I would go into the moat. stay warm, Love from N.Y.
Maybe install chicken wire underneath the bridge!?
I haven’t seen any ducks lately; are they still around?
Some chicken wire on the underside of the wooden bridge would be helpful…
I would try and and put something under the bridge to try and catch them for next time like a mesh screen or something 🥰
you need all rotting leaves out for the fish,maybe pump oxygen in to,ornate floating windmill or solar easiest,dont let the fish die
Phil you have done this before can’t remember how you got it out that time
Even if you can't find them, no one else can either.
Why not just scoop out the muck for your garden? I mentioned on another site that muck is a good fertilizer and yours may not be polluted with chemicals except possibly lead from roof flashing. You could use that on flower beds anyway. It doesn't sound like you have deep layers of leaf rot but that still doesn't help water quality. The rotting leaf matter draws oxygen from the water and makes it harder for fish. At least that's what the state environmental protection lab told us in the district over 30 years ago.
Decay is slow combustion. Maybe not the moat but ponds tend to stratify in layers and a badly mucked up pond can have a dead zone, zero oxygen layer at the bottom. The pond at the center of the district I live in was about 60 feet deep before the area was developed in the early 60s and has lost about 20 feet since then. We have gravel or what NH calls dirt and sand roads. Any heavy rainfall washes tons of it into the feeding streams and that eventually makes it to the pond. In other words there is 20 plus feet of quick sand at the bottom of the pond. .In 100 years or so the whole pond will be a swampy quick sand bog with no fish but a lot of swamp life. .
You have had the same theme already.
That was fun to watch. Shame you didn’t find your keys.
Maybe block the gaps under the bridge with wooden slats. So as not to see it from above 🤨 not all the way but just in front of the door area.
Google doesn't very often include subtitles for your vids
Is there a way to dredge the moat and have some kind of filtration from the water source? I know leaves will always fall in the water every autumn.
