In an old upright one time I found some stock certificates that the customer forgot that they had put in the piano, and in an old nickelodeon (guts had been removed years earlier, just cleaning up the piano and tuning) found many nickels, some around the turn of the 20th century (1900).

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?
