Hidden TreasureMy landlord had some builders in to remove a staircase in an outbuilding when a rusty biscuit tin fell out from under the woodwork.
What wonders were in this hidden treasure box? Two live hand grenades and 40 rounds of ammunition. From WW2. I've never seen builders run before.
What hidden treasures have you uncovered?

Hidden treasure that we missed!!About a year after moving out of a flat, Mr Duke got a call from the police asking if we'd ever been in the attic. We hadn't which turned out to be unfortunate.
The police explaned that the new owners of the building had been doing some renovationms, and a builder had been up in the attic to check the condition of the roof. While there he'd found a box tucked under the eaves- containing a human skull... Apart from being gutted that we'd never found it ourselves, it later transpired that it had belonged to a previous tenent who was a medical student and he'd bought it off some bloke in a pub.
Like you do.
