What's in the box?

Thread Starter 
Went for a walk with my girlfriend along the beach at the weekend - nice day, quite sunny and a bit windy.

Further along the beach, where most of the public have given up walking, were bits of flotsam and jestom including bits of crap (sweet wrappers and parts of old toys) that I've not seen since the late 70s/early 80s of my childhood.

It got me thinking - if I happened to come across an old chest or box washed up, what would the ideal booty (apart from anything currency-based) be that it contained?

Seeing the old 70s toys made me wish for a box of original 12-back Star Wars figures, unopened and untouched by the sea.

If you could come across an old treasure chest and claim its bounty, what would you like to find in it apart from anything currency-based?

I personally would have said Metropolis....but since that ones been found, I dunno. Original cut of Annie Hall (Anhedonia)? That would be pretty awesome.

Other than that, Jessica Biel.

Like evryone else, Metropolis was the first thing that came to mind, but since that was found already... maybe, Battle of the Sexes (1914) featuring Lillian Gish or A Study in Scarlet (first Sherlock Holmes film!).

ETA: Old B&W Doctor Who would be great, too - haven't seen ANY William Hartnell episodes.

There are plenty of Hartnell episodes still in existance, but the lost ones would be nice.
Troughton's Evil of the Daleks would probably the best to find, though.

Also, the entire first season of The Avengers, and the original Quatermass Experiment.

I second London After Midnight. As for Hartnell, I only want to see the first regeneration episode. On the toy front: Megos, Megos, Megos. Also a lost Picasso and/or a Gutenburg Bible.

Hard evidence, 100% undeniable, of some big political or historical conspiracy (UFOs, JFK assassination,etc.). Something that would shake things up for a long time to come.

I found it funny, for what it's worth. But we can't know for sure the cat's dead until we look in the box.

I picture the Box in question as a huge crate. I'd therefore lke to find several smaller boxes inside. Each being, of course a full box of every cigar brand on my sizable wish list that I want to (but may never be able to afford to) try.
