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 really treasure, butmy uncle was renovating a house once. In the loft space, he found a fully-loaded hydroponic (sp?) system (no plants though). Under the kitchen cupboards, he found three bags of used ladies' sanitary products.
My nana found 2 antique silk bedspreads on the top shelf of the wardrobe of her new place (this is about 1987). One was pretty ratty, the other in perfect condition - embroidered to the hilt, with flowers, vines, and two little Chinese men in each corner, having a cuppa. I've still got it - it's lovely, even though everyone else thinks it's ugly as hell.
