Jeff the winner with that Morgan Silver dollar. Well, maybe...I once found a snap-on 3/8" ratchet, extension, and 1/2" socket in my old pickemup. But I took it all back to the guy I had work on it.

One thing..the click bait video sure is no prize. A pox on the OP for posting that. Sorry I got sucked in.

A vail of white powder. I still have it somewhere. I should pitch it into the trash.

I have found lots of stuff but what sticks in my mind was the frog hopping around in a Vette I bought and had shipped from Florida.

Dust, dog fur, sand. Other than that, nothing valuable.

An Airforce officer died and his widow gave his car, a 78 Buick Turbo to some cars for kids kind of group. I ended up with it, a phenomenal car and in the trunk I found an old Chinese rolled up picture. I took it to work and a Chinese lady read it, said it was old script and gave me sort of a date on it. I have always liked it. Maybe someone here can read it. plus a picture of the car.





The car was four wheel disk, posi, no electric windows or seats, bucket seats center console auto, no air, Turbo. someone must have known someone.

My son found a USMC money clip in a 914 I bought. I didn't think marines made enough money to put it in a clip.

Heard of people finding guns....

Best story was a VW bus that was originally bought from a police auction. Sold 12 years later. Then sold 19 years later. Third owner started a resto on it after owning it another 5 years and found a false floor with 25 lbs of pot in it that had to be 36 + years old.....

Buick Lesabre coupe with turbo 3.8 liter. Pop had one after his 71 Super Beetle. Bought it new. 165 not-so-galloping horses.

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.

1975, I bought a 1953 GMC, found a tub of "Old Dutch" grease... Very thick stuff, consistency of roofing tar. I still have it on a shelf in my parts room at the shop. Not sure what to use it on... but it will hold a nut in an open end wrench when you can't reach back into a narrow space.

I like this. Too much, probably.
