How do I find my old GPG Keychain in a Mac Timemachine backup?

My Mac froze up (software problem) and I am doing a "bare metal" reinstall of all software I have installed Thunderbird and Enigmail. I don't even know if the GPG key chain is stored on the Mac, but can not find it in the Time Machine backup. I did not export the keys (I am really interested in my private keys) as the Mac was frozen. Any idea how/where I can get my old keychain back? Or at least my private keys? I can get others to send me their public keys and can add another new public key if needed, but I would like to read the encrypted mail stored on e-mail servers and need my old keys.....

Thx
