Strange things you find

[MightyCustomCue]

A customer approached me with a rattle in the butt so I removed the rubber bumper to examine the weight bolt. Lo and behold, one was missing but I did see the head of a dime. Customer agreed, I began to remove the dime and found another one and another one and another one... after all was said and done, I removed 80 cents that were glued inside. I solved the rattle issue and the customer was 80 cents richer. What's the strangest thing you've seen?

A VERY famous Hall-of-Fame cuemaker's cue from several decades ago; rattling noise turned out to be hunks of solidified lead that had been poured (molten) into recesses routed in the handle section, sanded smooth, and then covered with linen wrap. Eventually the charred edges of the recesses broke down with repeated use and the lead pieces became loose noisemakers.
