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 a direct experience but....when one of my grandfathers died, my family had to do an inventory on what he had out on my uncle's farm, etc... anyway, my dad and a relative went to check out the old shed in the back paddock, inside wasn't much apart from a few basic tools, materials etc... except for an old fridge.
They opened the fridge casually to check out it's contents: FULL of old unstable EXPLOSIVES! (the jelly kind). After much care to very gently close the fridge door they got the bomb squad in to safely remove it....
