Spreaders and maillons found in valley entrance

Popped in for a spiffing trip down Swinsto weekend before last (May 18th). On the way out of valley we found said items at the top of the entrance pitch looking like they'd been forgotten rather than left for a reason.  No sign of any ladders or anyone else in the cave so we brought em out with us.  Can we reunite them with their owner?

we were in there on the saturday (17th), late afternoon.
We rigged a ladder using a spreader and maillons and visited the streamway.

Not got the ladder to hand at the moment to check if the spreader is missing.
If they are our maillons, from memory they were a bit rusty ?

Hi

I did check my ladder following this and it is missing the spreader, so it is almost certainly my kit.
Apologies for leaving it so long, but I completely forgot about it until I used the ladders again recently.

Could you confirm that you still have the kit and can we sort out getting it back.
I am ingleton based.

Cheers
