Houses with treasure inside!

Have you ever bought a house and found something inside that was worth some money? Antiques, currency, jewelry, Jimmy Hoffa's dead body? I want to know what interesting treasures have you found?

I recently bought a house that esentially came fully furnished after the original owners had passed away and the children did not want to come pick up any belongings. Had an estate sale to empty the house so we could start rehab but found some cool items tucked away. Here's a few:

7" thick dictionary
Late 19th century illustrated bible
WWII Japanese rifle with bayonet and sabre
100+ year old coins
2 foot carved wooden fork and spoon

I cleaned out a rental home after college students moved out. Got $114.60 in bottle returns!
