Subject: [TR] Unexpected treasures?

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,

I bought a 1975 Dodge van that was all tricked out with captain's chairs and shag carpet back in the early 80's and the previous owner left me a baggie full of Pot carefully hidden in a back compartment.

I found an old Schlitz can in the spare tire compartment of my TR3, but then remember I had put it there as a teenager 🍺

I found a spare key in the rear tail light housing of my TR250 when I was restoring it.  I later read this was a factory thing for the spare key, wish I had left it there.

I have no photos of the car, but even though I purchased the thing back in 197? I still have this relic I found under the passenger seat.  I bought the car from a Fellow named Eric White.

A good friend who ran an auto detailing shop use to clean up the local cop car on the very cheap because almost weekly he would find reefer stuffed under the rear seat.

Ah, I was wondering how many of these messages we had to go through before we
got to the Illegal Substances findings. In 1977 I dragged home a '66 Spitfire
parts car. Under the seat was a small bag of something - my "experienced"
friend said it looked like Hash - he said he would check - I never saw it
again... !!
