Seems that when you kill a construct or zombie with a thrown weapon, they die and instantly vanish along with your thrown weapon.
I killed Sepharus's dirt construct with my throwing spear and when it died it vanished along with my spear, and I couldn't INVOKE to get it back. It said my link was severed and that's the last time I've seen my spear since in Test :(
