Yeah, those can be a bear to find. My toughest one was a little tiny wire the size of a hair. I could ride on it a couple of miles, but couldn't make it to work. I had to keep the tire/tube aligned, find the hole in the tube, and then find the matching part of the tire. Took me about a month to find it. Even when I knew where it was it was hard to find. It always found the tube though!
