What Have You Found Whilst Cleaning

Monaro Pete · 23-07-2016, 18:12

Out a new vehicle?
I once found a gold ring that I weighed in for £50.00.
I've found shrapnel (coins) & quite a few over the years. No notes though.
I was told a story back in the eighties, when a guy I knew found a £50.00 note down the side of the seat of a newly purchased Rover which he paid £350.00 for so only paid £300.00.

So what have you found over the years?

My T2 keeps giving me tiny bits of Lego... I have had it 4 years, and every so often, I lift a seat, or clean somewhere, and sure enough, there will be a tiny bit of lego... I have no idea where it comes from, as in that time it has been cleaned several times, and I can not count how many times the seats have been put up and down, so I know it's not in the seams or joints of them.

Other than that, just the odd bit of change.

A stash of lead additive in the mg boot, 6 bottles of the stuff.

That's about as interesting as it gets I'm afraid

I found a shoe in the jack storage compartment in my old terrano

That's as good as it gets I'm afraid

Think the previous owner got the wrong idea about upgrading the jack to a Hydraulic one that pumps.

Under the drivers seat of a nissan safari i found a massive bag of chinese money, wow i thought but it amounted to around 5 Nzdollars or £2.50 hehehehehehe. And i found the same in several others, aparently the chinese do it for good luck..

Bought a fiat x19 and found a video cassette behind the dash, it was a pretty bizarre home made porno of the previous owner wearing a very odd latex type suit thing. I rang him and told him i had the tape and he offered £50 for it, that was a win, only paid £175 for the car many years ago. Me and a mate still laugh about it now.

I haven't found anything but I suppose that's because I don't clean it
