Player Handouts and other props

So I am going to do something I have not done in forever. Player handouts for when they find things like maps and the like along with other little props to make the engagement level just that much more.

This will be something the players find near that encounter map I posted a picture of. I am not going to reveal what it says, I think my players are reading my blog now that I said something about them not making backgrounds and then praising one of them.

What kind of props have you used or had given to your as a player. What do you think about props in your games good or bad?
