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?

Enjoyed
I was ripping up floorboards in a 15th century Manor House bathroom. These "latest" boards had been laid in the 50s.
Anyway, hidden under one of the boards was an old Coke tin. Very very old with diamond pattern and of course no pull top, just triangle markings showing where to pierce. The drinker had used the bottom to open, so the top markings were all intact. Slight rust but not much
I whacked it on Ebay and thought £4.99 starting bid was a bit cheeky
