[TR] Unexpected treasures?

[terryrs at comcast.net]

I believe I've found the greatest value item in my '3 when I picked it up in a shed in Ossinee, NY.  

Several inches of raccoon poop layered throughout the engine bay.  My head was surrounded by a cloud of fecal dust everytime I banged on the rear wheel drums to loosen them enough to tow the thing onto a trailer.

Why the high value on this "found" item?  

I think it was the poop factor that reduced the asking price to the $500 I paid.  

...or it could have been that the floors were rusted completely away and that the fenders needed someone who smiled at adversity...and that the engine...well, you get the idea.

Today I pulled the carpet up on my '58 TR3 that I bought last year and found a nickel.  I know, big deal.  But other than a 'B' pillar full of pistachio shells it is my greatest discovery.  

Got me thinking, what fun things have you found in your TR under the carpet or behind a panel?  

All the best,
