Default Buried treasure!! Anyone else find treasure while removing dash?

So I was out installing my FlyAudio ebay steal today and found a crap ton of different treasures under the console. Just wondering if anyone else may have found stuff from previous owners?

Treasure list:

73 Cents in change
Skull and crossbones medallion
What looks like a wedding band
College Report card with failing grades
Multiple receipts from a Mexican restaurant

I thought this was pretty interesting! What gets me is how the hell this stuff gets under the dash. The report card was actually BEHIND the radio!

Did you actually mean under the dashboard, or under the center console (shifter plate cover)?

well most of the stuff was under the console and shifter plate. But the report card and a few receipts were behind the radio..far back inside the dash.

When I was cleaning my car for the first time, I found a good amount of change. Like 20 cents lol. Then I found some marbles, pins, buttons, and other junk. Strange thing was that I found lighters and matches in the spare tire compartment and under the shifter. Don't know if the previous owner did it for safety or something bad to the next owner...

lol, that can happen. Just this weekend I lost my Mojo buy 1000 get 1 free stamp cards. I remember putting it on top of the cigarette lighter cover and then remember pushing the cover back to put my keys in the ashtray. I open the console, but can't seem to find it; finally find it by reaching deep behind the radio.

Oh, and I found this when I was installing an alarm a few months ago, snapped a picture.
