<p>Yes, just use something that lets you generate addresses with a high index. For example, you could use <a href="https://iancoleman.io/bip39/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://iancoleman.io/bip39/</a> and enter into the <code>starting from index</code> box the index you would like to begin deriving addresses at. Then you can get the private keys and import them into your wallet.</p>

<p>IIRC there is not a wallet software that will let you specify where to start deriving addresses.</p>

<p>I sent funds to a derived address, but I didn't know about the gap limit and how the addresses should be used incrementally. I've used a huge value for the index but wallets only check the first few values -  is there a way I can retrieve them?</p>

Can you explain a bit on „derived“ address? HD wallet? xpub keys? From which wallet did you send?

Yes, just use something that lets you generate addresses with a high index. For example, you could use <https://iancoleman.io/bip39/> and enter into the `starting from index` box the index you would like to begin deriving addresses at. Then you can get the private keys and import them into your wallet.

IIRC there is not a wallet software that will let you specify where to start deriving addresses.
