When Scraping cars what have you found in them?

The reason I ask is because my Dad worked in a scrap yard when he was younger and they would find all kinds of stuff he found a bunch of old coin collections from china a dagger and some other stuff others had found the same and guns. Just wondering what you have found.
Sorry if this has been posted before.

Tools, amazing amount of tools. Spanners, panelbeating dolly, coins etc, nothing to write home about though.

Someone in NZ had a car accident & a bag of gold coins fell out of the dash, not my luck though.

That would be cool more then cool jaw dropping lol

a working x-box (before 360's came out), an expensive performance sterio system, an amazing amount of tools, bag of weed, one of those bars that extend out that you use to beat people with, 3 rolls of dimes. That's all I can think of.

^^^ You are talking about an extending baton. Those things are awesome!

I'd say that was a good investment lol

VERY good investment. Just wish like heck I could find 3 today lol. but most I find now is tools and now and then a decent pocket knife. and pool table change lol

It's an awesome show the 2 guys are nuts lol. They did get shut down for a while though because they accidently put a cannon ball through a house or 2 and a minivan Oops wasn't part of the plan. They wanted to test the velocity of it in a pool lol.

My uncle found a .22 or a 9mil, can't remember which, with the serial scratched off. Turned it into the cops, never heard about it again.

Porn. Lots of porn. Seems a lot of people junk cars without checking the trunks.

The yard I go to also has a 6' long belt of live .308 blanks for a machine gun. Somebody had tossed them in with the rest of their brass. Now they are hanging above the door to their little scale booth in the non ferrous building!
