Well, since you've gone and mentioned The Weed, early on in my career, I was involved in rebuilding an old upright for a VERY well-known artist. We found the remnant of a hand rolled cigarette inside. Sent it off to the crime lab for analysis and, sure enough, it was the kind of smoke-able that you can only get legally here in California with a prescription.

The Mom was right there when I pulled it out. I'm glad I wasn't that teenager later that day.

The lady of the house came into the room and I asked her to hold out her hand. I then placed the gem into her hand, and the tears began to fall. She had lost the diamond out of her engagement ring two years before, and had no idea where it had gone. One happy customer I can tell you. On another occasion I discovered a sapphire ring inside a grand which had been lost by 'Gran' who thought it had gone out with the garbage. Has anyone else found interesting items when tuning?
