Jane found a Union flag, paper horseshoe, card silver shoe, piece of gold chain, sealing wax, blue yarn, plastic cherub, wood shaving, chrome W, press stud, and a slightly rusty key - all contained in a wooden matchbox under the floorboards. | |

Hidden treasure
Jane Mills emailed Home Truths to tell us about items (pictured) she found under the flooboards of her home in the Isle of Wight. She says...
"It would be interesting to know the story - I know the house had been owned since being built by the Williams family - explaining the W. The 2 remaining Williams sisters had lived in the house until we bought it in 1980 and they had moved into a house built next door. They were very old then - so probably not about now! Maybe other stories of things under floorboards will appear!"
Have you ever come across items hidden under floorboards or in other strange places? We'd like to hear from you if you have.
