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?

i used to collect antique camerasand bought a bulk amount (more than 50), from a dealer in Islington, 1985.
Quite a few had rolls of film in them, exposed.
The colour films would be stuffed, too long in the camera, 25 years or more probably, but one black and white 120 roll film developed ok.
I had the negs contact printed and 6 pics came out ok, a guy and a woman, late twenties, on holiday in Spain or possibly Tunisia (there was donkey in one pic. To me donkeys= Spain or Tunisia), and judging by the bloke's pants and the chick's almost polo neck swimsuit, i would say they were taken some time in the late 50's or early 60's.
A honeymoon that ended in disaster? An illicit overseas fling?
I wondered why that film never got developed before I got my hands on it.
