What's the most unexpected non-metal finds you've dug?

i would not even have opened it

Same, especially after opening a sealed bottle that looked to have some water at the bottom, and releasing a strong chemical smell that stayed in my nostrils for half an hour. Now I think twice about opening any bottle or sealed jar I see.

Weird find!
I found 3 big boxes of old leather bound books from the 1800's at my dump's book area (a part of the little shed my dump has for stuff that other people can grab). I quickly grabbed it and brought it home. In the bottom of one box, under all the books was a fake upper set of teeth.

One of my best non-metallic finds was this gaming stone. Was digging a metal signal on a 1700's fort site and this popped out. First thing I thought was, "Hmm...looks like a sausage patty." I've dug a lot of arrowheads that are in the hole with a metallic object. Here where I live you can find arrowheads all over the place. Oh and another favorite non-metallic find was a whet stone I dug up in a Confederate cavalry camp. You can still see where they sharpened the blade on it.
