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?

After moving house in 2001:In our loft we found £2000 worth of stamp collection, which was rather nice! In with the stamps were also lots of letters, telegrams and postcards, from both wars, and from all over the world. We haven't sold those and are trying to find the original owners.
Also, when removing part of under the stairs, we found some writing, a kind of 'I woz 'ere', by the original fitters, from about 1929. Not exactly treasure, but an interesting thing to find.
Oh, and also, we buried a time capsule in our garden, full of treasure for future owners of our house. Not telling what's in it though!
