This is a question Hidden Treasure

My 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?

Assorted stuff
About 20 years ago, I found £5 at Butlins in Pwllheli on the last day of our school holiday there when I thought I was completely out of cash. Made all the sweeter by my friend telling me not to bother picking up "that piece of rubbish".

I was wandering home in a fairly drunken haze about 10 years ago when I tripped over a squash racquet. It was still in its bag and in rather good condition. I've never been that good at squash but that racquet took me to the top of the squash ladder in two different offices (against people who'd regularly beaten me before) and I've still got it tucked away somewhere.

About 6 years ago while doing the customary search of the flat I was moving out of, I found a letter under the mattress of the spare bed from one female employee of a major supermarket chain to another who worked at the hypermarket nearby. It described taking young gentlemen into the stores area of the shop and doing terribly rude things with them. I've not been able to look at supermarket workers the same ever since... I put that one back for the next tenant to find.
