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?

Hidden treasures I've found in the garden*dogshit
rusty nails
washers**
nuts**
bolts**
strange weeds***
random bits of plastic
a tiddlywink(?)
corroded pennies
stones
worms
spiders
unidentified insects
some brown grass****
Seeing as Ipswich was not an important target or military base during either world war (and my street wasn't built until 1983), this lack of exciting finds is not unexpected.
Oh yes, and I once found £20 in my coat pocket. Bonus!
* Stretching the definition of 'treasure', of course.
** From the hand-held lawnmower we used to use.
*** They were hidden!
**** Hidden under the weeds.
