I like to look for interior stuff. Fog light switches, overhead consoles, spare tire covers, cup holder solutions.

You never what you'll find by just looking around in the junkyards. One time I found some diamond plate and they sold it to me for like $2.

I think 2/3 of the time I've spent there was just browsing. Found myself a pile o parts for a cowl snorkel and high flow air filter (Canister from a 2001 GMC 2500 van, more surface area than stock, and has a place for the dust to settle too)

What you pick up depends on what mods you have in mind. Driveshafts and disk brake bits are good items.
