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?

Cleaning the mansion...where I grew up (national trust) I was helping my dad clean some panelling way above the Saloon and we found a small box. In it was a note in olde English and some coins. Basically the note said that every cleaner who cleaned this part of the house deposited a coin in the box. Sort a tradition. There were coins in there from the very beginning of the houses history. We put an old 10p in and one of the new 5ps and put it back for the next chap.
