Some futuristic invention or apparatus as an artifact?

Tazer
Lighters
Lightweight outdoor clothing and gear.
The winning numbers of several lottery numbers.
Winners of horse races.
money to buy stock
I would take other things and insights to the past so that I can become rich and hopefully not be one of the financial victims 20 years later.

yeah right. I just burst my own bubble

I'd attach a lot of random circuit boards from the junkyard to a calculator and the biggest vibrator I could find and let them wonder....
