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?

not so hidden 'treasure'growing up on a military base next to a runway gave me many opportunities to find interesting objects abandoned in the field near my house such as:
-documents that seemed important and official but were probably just packing slips
-traffic cones
-'Danger! High Voltage!' signs, one of which i still have
and my favourite: finding brightly coloured tiles in a ditch when i was about seven. I took them home and showed my mother who informed me that they were asbestos taken off the buildings in a renovation project and that I should put them back where i found them. pity. i've always wanted bright orange asbestos siding. ;___;
