In the case of AppleShare volume icons, these are obtained over the net by 
a call to AFPGetSrvrInfo (Inside AppleTalk page 13-95), in the case of 
hard disks the icon is obtained by a driver control call (Mac Technote 
#28).

The icons may not be stored as ICON resources, which may be why they prove 
hard to find. But, in any case, these icons are not stored as part of the 
Finder.
