The Ford Barn

Yesterday, I removed all of my seats (for the 1st time) and the floor mats to inspect the middle & rear floorboards. While cleaning out all the old debris & walnut shells I found a quarter, it was pretty dirty, so I cleaned it up a little and brought it in the house to show my wife. I figured I'd mount it somewhere in the car as a keepsake. One of my boys (a coin collector) took a look at it and got all excited, the date looked rubbed off to me, but he thinks its a 1916. He's taking it to a collector today to see if this can be verified. If he's right, this thing is worth $2,000! This got me wondering, how many others have found "treasures" while cleaning out their car for the 1st time. I'd like to hear what unusual things you guys have found.
