I've never seen such.  The object is normally snug in the 
tire casing and protrudes (more or less or a lot less) 
through the casing until it just nicks the tube.

Rarities include objects which pass right through the tire 
and are found flopping around in the casing after the tube 
is removed. These are typically large objects, larger than 
3mm. I've never seen an object fully inside an inner tube.
