I have found the following, in different boxes, at different times, in
different companies: 
  British Flag - folded correctly
  Birthday invitations & complete party supplies for a 5 year old's
party
  Numerous ashtrays - all full and dirty
  Someone's underwear (Fruit of the Loom briefs) 
  1 diamond ring - eventually returned to it's owner - who had retired
more than 10 years prior to the ring being found
  2 rings of some value
  Dozens of pens and pencils - Cross, Waterman & more
  1 very nice French brand ladies watch - owner was never located ( very
precise description required to claim it !! -- Smile)
  very graphic photos 
  Diplomas, marriage and divorce certificates; personal papers of
varying interest and importance
  an atlas that was over 100 years old
  Thousands of creepy-crawly bugs and spiders
  And a  whole family of baby snakes - I was later told they were
rattlesnakes, but I did not stick around long enough to check for myself
