Glad you found the rocket. Now, time for the bigger motors!
Your comment reminds me of a funny story (at least it's funny now). I did a two-stage flight at Wayside a few years back. Not a bad flight, and I had the last gps fix when the main came out.

As we headed out for recovery, we picked up the RF tracker signal, which took us right to the rocket. When we arrived, there was no fin can. Crap! I just couldn't believe I had failed to attach the link, particularly when I distinctly remembered having done so during the prep. Anyway, we tried to calculate the apogee position to get an estimate of the location where the fin can would have fallen, and I walked for miles trying to find it. No joy.
About 6 months later, I got a call from a farmer in Wayside. He had found the fin can! I asked him where he found it, and the answer made no sense - it was nowhere near the estimated apogee position. As we talked more, I finally realized the fin can was exactly under the last gps position, perhaps a few hundred feet from where the "chuted" section landed. If we had just walked to those coordinates and looked down....
There was no link on the harness loop on the upper section, so I just assumed I had not connected it, and that the separation was at apogee and not at the point where the main came out. Funny thing is, there was no link on the U-bolt on the fin section either. To this day, I don't know how it happened.
