I lost a balloon payload in the area south of Lewisville, Arkansas. Below in the image is where I think the most likely location is. I drove around on the country roads back there and didn't see it, but the woods are quite thick so it could be in a tree or something. There is about $400 worth of equipment in it with the data radio and cell phone that I'm willing to let the finder keep if they can send me the SD cards or the data on them or we can work something else out. It isn't still actively beaconing so I'm guessing as to the area but it was in free fall and actively beaconing until that time. For more information, see this discussion on it:

Here is a link to the aprs site if you want to see the raw beacons and make your own determination where it is based on its beacons. It was beaconing at the rate of about every 25 seconds, but not every beacon is heard and logged.
