Whats the MOST UNUSUAL thing you've found when scrapping?

At the time when I was pulling the old wire I wouldn't consider it Unusual but today I would. 10 years ago I was doing an electrical job in an old house apart of what they now call "historic down town Fuquay". Every bit of wire that came out of this house and I will never forget what the old man called it that owned the house.
Ended up pulling about 400 pounds of what he called "horse hair wire"(not to mention a god awful amount of not ABX BUT GBX). Nasty looking romex wire but with out the pretty plastic insulation. Instead a nasty black tar looking insulation that looked like someone rolled it in hair while it was still wet.
So...weird or what? (good show by the way) Horse Hair Wire, anyone ever heard of that?

At one of the yards I haunt, today someone dropped off a couple thousand "fleshlight" cans, some things you really don't want to know about..........

When living in Houston Texas I used to hard core scrap. I found a 1700's beautiful organ. It was in perfect condition.
