Oh dear
I found an apple core behind my monitor a few weeks ago. It had shrivelled to the size of a 10p coin. Must have been there for ages.

Not exactly treasure, but it certainly explained why my room smelled funny.

[Edit] Ah - I found an Iron Age arrowhead in the garden. And my folks picked up a stone spearhead in France once. That's a bit better, init?

[Edit again] AHHHH - I know! When I was about 13 or so, a mate and I picked up a small box, which oddly enough looked a little like a miniature pirate treasure chest. The box was on the railings for the whole world to see (so OK, not very hidden). We had just got off one bus and went via an underpass to our respective next buses. My mate opened the little box. It was packed full of white powder. Then it dawned on us. It was full of cocaine. We had just disrupted a drugs deal.

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

We threw it down a drain, legged it to the bus stop and somehow lived to see another day.
