Leaving the original spot is possibly the worst thing to do!

She didn't know she'd lost them til she got back to the car plus she was wet and cold.
We didn't find them, even though we waved the metal detector around vigorously
I think a fish swallowed them.

Unfortunately, waving the detector vigorously is the wrong approach. A slow and steady swing, close to the surface is required. And of course the right equipment. Cheap Asian knock-offs will be lucky to indicate an empty bean tin just under the surface.

Didn't even find a bean tin so I guess you are right Anonymous.
Next step, a clairvoyant (or a key-smith).

Stop fussing Robert, just buy her another car.

Or a better metal detector.

I have a Key I would like to lose. He's blue, and seems to be made of a lightweight and poor quality metal, and though others quite like him, I can't bring myself to like him. He hasn't helped me open any doors.
Any suggestions?

Every now and again the system turns up a dud, Armchair Critic - it's best to discard them, especially if they're bent or too pliable to be of any real use. Yours sounds like one of these. Beware though, of 'replacement keys', they are often no better than the original, despite attractive packaging and clever promotion. To test your key, immerse in seawater for one hour, taking care not to allow any part to break the surface. If your key is genuine, such submersion will not affect its performance and you can safely use it to secure your valuable assets.
