Hidden Treasure
My 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?

Not me, sadly
My cousin was studying for some hugely expensive degree in Hull a few years back. The books and trips he had to take cost him a fortune, so when he moved out of halls of residence he took up foraging through skips for bits and pieces to funish his new flat.
Now, a fair amount of useless material goes into skips but he was fortunate enough to find enough plywood to make a sturdy desk, a fully intact office chair and a dusty old dartboard. But this was not the treasure. Ho no.
In rummaging through one skip, he found a working Sinclair C5, a bit scratched but otherwise fine.
Despite his proper adult status (if such a thing exists), he still has it and potters about on it from time to time. Though people tend to call him a wanker when he does.
