I’ve seen a lot of things inside tires causing a flat. Wrenches, pliers, 14" of rebar, sticks, rocks, saw chain all kinds of stuff. Finally got around to fixing a slow leak and this is what I found. This was a first for the several other guys in the shop. Anyone else find anything good in a tire? Owl

I got a house key in a tire once it let the air out quick thought that is a weird sound oh I have a flat
otherwise just the normal , bolts, nails ,staples
I am kinda surprised the bullet didn't push into the case , must be a compressed load now
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

No customer, it’s my tire. Been a really slow leak over a couple months. Finally got tired of it and had time to fix it. The case looks pretty beat up and dented like it’d been kicked around a while before I picked it up. Glad it wasn’t a more destructive situation, like beaver said. Must have hit just right somehow. There’s worn green paint or coating on the bullet itself. This is the last thing I expected to find. I have a lot of questions too.

Even in that condition, with the current market, that bullet should still be worth approximately $13.78 in today’s world. Nice find!!!!!

Pulled a valve stem from a big truck (semi) tire out of my wife's tires some months ago and plugged it. She has another slow leak in a different tire and I did the soapy water/spray bottle thing and located it. There's something metal in there. I'll have to fix it her next day off.
Eh...wot?

Besides the normal odds and ends in tires I found a large washer wedged in the tread sideways just enough for a slow leak but took two plugs to fix

I took a blade from a Buck knife out of one once. Handle must have snapped off. Didn't look intentional , just random.

I found deer antlers in several tractor/floater tires. They don't break. I carry tire plugs in my vehicle all the time. Best invention ever. I even like to plug 12 ply truck tires. About 30 years ago BF Goodrich made tractor tires that were so soft that dry cornstalks would puncture through them. Lots of service calls.
