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?

Good ol' GrandadMy grandad used to find flint arrowheads in the field next to his house (there had been an old stone age settlement there) and sell them to the local museum. My grandad was also a very good at banging two rocks together to make something that looked very similar to a flint arrowhead.
He also had an old buoy burried in his garden from back when he was a fisherman. Apparently he didn't know what to do with it, so he burried it. That's what we were told as kids. Recently it's become clear that he just got nervous and decided to hide his still from the police.
