    I think it was a handle to a knife. Not the strangest in the thread, but I was shocked when I yanked it out.

    Was it a Craftsman like the the one that got my tire? I got a free new one for it.

    Damn! There's some good and interesting pics in this thread. I'll add one of mine to it too :). Happened earlier this year. It took me two vise grips and lots of struggling to pull that thing out. I put like 4 plugs in it and still managed to get a couple days of driving before it was loosing air too fast and plugs were working themselves out. Fortunately the new tire arrived just in time.

    It was a 10 ton dump truck. Refinishing a new gravel road. I thought I had an air line leak at first lol.

    There was a post on expedition portal not too long ago of a dude getting a flat after running over a 7.62x39 AK round somewhere in the south american jungle. Went bullet first all the way through the rubber and the casing (still with primer :eek:) was just riding down the road like a rock in the treads until it eventually went flat.

    Got lucky. My luck a rock would have tripped the primer, and taken out a wheel bearing, hub, rotor and caliper as well as the tire.

    Usually happens when your pants fit a little "too" snug and you have nowhere else to put em.
