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?

Another one...Was living in a flat in Tollcross, Edinburgh and a sizeable envelope emblazoned with Hearts FC logos arrived for a previous resident. Now I'm a Celtic fan but decided to open it anyway and, lo and behold, out pop two tickets for the Hearts vs Celtic game in a week's time (Hearts play at Tynecastle, 15 minutes walk from my flat). I noticed that the seats were in the Hearts area but thought it would be fine and called a pal to see if she fancied heading along with me.
Come the day we headed down to the ground, found the correct entrance and proceeded to look for our seats. Found the correct row, started edging our way along and noticed a small distance ahead that there were our seats, already occupied by two massive skinhead guys, seriously inbred looking tattoed nutjobs. We bottled it, continued along the row and just went past them, straight out of the grounds and into a boozer to watch the game, piss ourselves laughing and have many a G&T.
Celtic won anyway so we were happy :)
