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?

And anotherMy brother got a metal detector for Christmas once. He felt really special, and searched the entire garden. There was one spot, where the washing line is today, where the detector went metal. After much pleading, Dad let him have a dig to find what it was. An old coin? Maybe a swish gun? Maybe even a bar of gold.
It was neither. After digging a neat square, my brother found... a piece of concrete with a rusty iron bar going through it.
I can't, for the life of me, think of a reason why this treasure has not been preserved in a cabinet, or taken to the Antiques Roadshow.
