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?

Treasure indeed...Found a tin of keys, a small pot of car headlight yellower (for that cosmopolitan look), and a manually powered lawnmower in a shed my folks bought (for the land it stood on). I saw this as a fast path to fame and riches somehow...I think the Goonies had something to do with this. Industriously, I had wire brushed the rust off the lawn mower and jollied it up with Hammerite before realising that modern lawn mowers cost less than a wire brush and a tin of Hammerite. The tin of cosmopolitan yellow stained keys is still buried in the back garden awaiting the discovery of the treasure chests that they will unlock.
