Not too interesting, but I was pleased to find all of this under the rear seats. Jack with handles, tools, bags, 3 lug wrenches, spout to something, triangles, 2 first aid kits, some others odds and ends, and a 9mm round.

That spout will likely fit the Scepter fuel cans and the older US "Spam can" fuel cans with the flat lid that likes to leak.

all I found was mud and a big ass wasp nest in between the soft top layers YEA!!!

Found a couple used 5.56 blanks, that about it.

I found a U.S. Government CIA license plate under the seat.......and a fording kit and two X doors

 

[Shogun187]

5.56 blank, pioneer tool kit, two operator manuals in their respective plastic binders, a spare plastic binder, plastic bag and a canvas bag containing the aforementioned manuals, viz panel, an extra passenger side front door (but no driver's door!), some KFC wrappers

Found a **** load of spent glow sticks.

 

[avlon01]

Found a bunch of 5.56 blank casings, a .50 blank casing, a HMMWV manual jammed under the seat in the plastic wrap, and a blue practice grenade body.

Otherwise, a lot of chewing tobacco tins, glowsticks, gum wrappers, and a bunch of tabasco sauce packets.

One of my trucks had about 15 spent 5.56 dating back to 89 and a bunch of spent 9mm marker bullets. And a live marker bullet. Would be kinda cool to shoot it but kinda wanna keep it too.

Another had a first aid kit, bottle jack, scissor jack and a custom fabbed 1/8 aluminum sheet bent under the cargo cover and attached with liquid nails.

My 998 was pretty clean. The only interesting thing I found was a .45 case with an Israeli defence forces headstamp dated 1989.

I found a nice pocket knife in my M998

Found an AAFES (PX) $0.25 round cardboard "gift certificate" in my 5-ton. A TM in a nylon case in one of the M1082s, as well as the electric interconnect.

The cardboard change was only given out as change in Iraq and Afghanistan. Came in 5,10,25.

I still have about $5 worth of Pogs from my second deployment.

Redeemable at any px/bx.

Ok. Thought I had some research to dig into there.

Found a Deuce/5 ton tow bar axle shackle (gave it to a friend with a 5 ton), a moldy Motor Equipment Dispatch example form, a Tennessee NG patch (no surprise since my truck came from 1-181 FA), an equipment records binder I cleaned up and now use to keep my registration and insurance in, some paracord, a padlock with no key, a couple CR123 batteries, lots of loose nuts/bolts/washers, and a whole lot of river mud/sand/stones.

Oh, and a mud dauber nest behind one of my rear seat cushions.

My 998 was pretty clean. The only interesting thing I found was a .45 case with an Israeli defence forces headstamp dated 1989.

The US military has sourced ammo from the Izzies for a while. A while back there was a brouhaha over Israeli ammo being used with troops deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Supposedly it was relegated to stateside training use since, of course, it matters who made the bullet a bad guy gets shot with.

 

[Jakob1944]

I hope that you are joking. Might want to turn that in before someone finds out that you have it...

I'd carry it to a Guard Armory or local Army recruiter and get a hand receipt for the turn in of that piece equipment now that you mentioned it on this forum.......

 

[juanprado]

wet and cruddy pamphlet bag, Jack, handle, antenna rope and clip, 2 rusty cheap screwdrivers, one live 5.56 with a green tip, many 5.56 fired blanks and regular cartridges (amazing every crook and cranny they hide in), long rod which I think is a rifle cleaning rod and a little cup covered in aluminum foil with leafy green residue tucked away in a corner.......

 

[Retiredwarhorses]

After 10 trucks, I have a ton of crap...jacks, jack handles, bottle jacks, document bags, TM's, rank, patches, straps of every assortment, antenna pieces...the list goes on.

 

[911joeblow]

Lots of spent glow sticks in green and orange. A nice ram mount setup for a computer by the looks of it. Lots as antenna parts but mostly wire. Lots of wrappers from candy bars and fast food. Of course 50lbs of dirt.
