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?

When visiting my grandparentsI often went to play at a barren piece of ground near the river. One day when digging a hole (for the best reason ever: just digging a hole!) I found all kinds of shards. Must be ancient and worth loads of cash.
I took the biggest shard (which was huge) home and told them all about my discovery and my dawning career as an archaeologist.
Turns out that a few years ago local contractors used that site to dump trash from demolition projects, and the 'shard' i brought home was in fact a piece of a toilet.
