The most interesting/strange/odd things you have found in your home

[WhateverHappenedToFayWray]

Inspired by another thread about bad DIY and things that you didn't notice when moving into a new home. What is the most interesting thing that you have found?

My parents bought a house in the 80's which was built in the early 1930's. When they were refurbishing the bathroom they found a little biscuit tin from the 30's that was put there by someone that was building the house. I still have it today

What interesting things have you found?

We live in an old stone house. In the back wall there's a horse shoe cemented in with the stone. I'd love to know the story behind it

I should say, I know it's supposed to be good luck, but I'd like to know who put it there and when and why they chose to

A loft full of brand new and unused new baby items. A very expensive peak, cot, Moses basket and many baby clothes and paraphernalia.

This was before I had planned to start a family and after contacting our solicitor to contact them we heard nothing back.

Perhaps a still birth or miscarriage?

It all went to a pregnant junior colleague who was thrilled and wasn’t concerned about any ‘bad luck’ as another idiot colleague suggested!

Swords... so many swords, understairs cupboard and in the attic.
No idea why or how many, contacted solicitors and the guy who owned the house before us came to collect them a week or so later.

Not necessarily strange, but loads of broken china and crockery, metal fragments, pieces of broken vintage toy, and glass in the back garden when digging foundations for our home office. Like, loads of broken stuff. Piles of it.

Our house and next door are 1950s build in a street of quaint Victorian terraces. I looked up the history of our street, and we were the site of a direct hit from a V1 / doodlebug bomb in 1944. The garden is literally full of the contents of the previous house, blown to smithereens.
