    Main board from a HP laser printer had "In loving memory of xxx" (xxx was a Japanese name I don't remember now) printed in the solder mask. I had put it aside to keep, but it got processed buy accident in the end.

    Picked up a bunch of junk one time, including a bunch of towers. In one of the towers was one of the old metal index card holder things, filled with someones coin collection. I let my source know about it, but they claimed they had no idea what I was talking about. I have it put aside to look through one day, but I know I saw come coins in there from the late 1800's.

    I wasn't scrapping this out at the time but it was inside an old TV

    We bought a really old house from the 1920's when the old lady that lived there had to be moved into a home. We went in and were cleaning out all the stuff that they left and I moved this old cabinet TV that was on wheels and heard glass clinking. So I looked at the back and realized that the back of the cabinet wasn't really tacked down, and inside it was the old ladies booze stash.

    A guy brought me some towers one day and i wasnt here. He calls said he left them in the back. well I get home and start tearing them apart. I found a kaltech 32 semi auto inside one of the towers. Called him and he told me he didnt know where it came from. Cops cleared it so I got to keep it.

    Nice! I have one of those. It is a nice reliable companion. Not a ton of firepower, but the P32 is always with me, and my Springfield sometimes isn't. Like they say....the first rule of a gunfight is HAVE A GUN!

    Nothing too exciting with my scrap towers. However i was kinda upset when i forgot to take a screw driver out of one and scrapped it the next day, Only to get another screw driver hiding inside a tower the following week. :-)

    Sell it to people so they can find their screwdrivers?
    I know lying is wrong, but if the elephant man came in now in a blouse with some make up on, and said, "How do I look?" Would you say, bearing in mind he's depressed and has respiratory problems, would you say, "Go and take that blusher off you mis-shapened elephant tranny?" No. You'd say, "You look nice... John""

    Many various CDs etc, found in computers. I also found a love letter from someone who had apparently been very hurt jammed inside a CD drive.

    Various coins in drives too.
