Maybe it just took a bad turn/roll/skip and went kerplunk?

I would say a nice Z Tracker would be a close fit. When I was trying it out I felt it was dead on in flight to my CE Teebird and it was about the same distance, maybe a bit longer. Another Teebirdish disc is the Lat 64 Striker. Don't know why it was a bad thing, but it was too long for what I wanted. So it was a tweener disc for me....too short for a driver and to long for a fairway disc.
There are some discs out there that I can justify not throwing. Why throw a 1 of 100 black proto star wraith when I can throw a $10 wraith they made tens of thousands of and can replace for a few bucks? Some discs are just for looking but they are few and far between. I would rather play than look but some discs have no practical reason to throw as they would lose their beauty and value.
Glad you found your disc!

Well people don't carry discs around not to throw them, they just don't throw their better discs on holes where they have a higher chance of losing them. If you don't want to lose one of your better discs, then it would only make sense to throw it on holes where you have a lesser chance of losing it. I'm guessing your teebird was one of your better discs.

I recently watched someone I know accidently turn over a CE Valk 100 feet the wrong direction into a lake. Ooops.
This is why I carry DX versions of my primary driver when I go to courses with water.

I have lost a few discs to water but there have only been a time or two that I threw something really pricey in. The only one that comes to mind was a sweet bar stamped 4X Valk that was opaque and in great shape. I think that was the last one and I felt so dumb for doing it that I haven't thrown discs I care that much about near water since.
11X are usually more stable, and they should be too hard to find. I've seen a bunch in the marketplace in the last month or so.

I have two of them, water can be greedy but it can be generous too. Also I carry a couple of discs I don't like in case I find a good trade.
i throw my son up in the air and catch him.. just not near cliffs.
