Language points
找不到: to look without finding
找 means only to look for; it is 到 that says you laid hands on it. 找到了, I have found it; 找不到, I cannot find it; 没找到, I did not find it. Saying 我没找 would mean you did not even look, which is not the same excuse. The same 到 serves elsewhere: 买到, to manage to buy; 看到, to catch sight of; 拿到, to obtain.
两百多块: the "and a bit"
多 placed after a round number says there is a little more: 两百多块, two hundred-odd yuan; 三十多岁, in his thirties; 一年多, a year and a bit. It goes after the number but before the measure word when the number is round, and after the measure word when it is not: 两块多钱.
A question about the past closes with 的
你什么时候发现的 and 在哪儿丢的: when the action has already happened and you are asking not about the fact but about its circumstances, the sentence is built with 是 (often left out) and ends in 的. You ask 你是坐车来的吗 and not 你坐车来了吗, because what is at issue is the means, not the arrival.
