    I'll try and put some photos up for reference later so that people who need to open a similar safe have an idea of what they're up against.
    Don't forget your address. GPS co-ordinates would help too.

    Not your ornery onager

    When we got it opened, there was nothing in it other than a number of dead bugs, some dust & a small piece of paper. No treasure map, bah.

    Someone trying to save the world from killer flesh-eating bugs, temporarily put into suspended animation, locking them in a safe and destroying the key to protect the world so no-one can open it and release the...oh.

    Here's some photos, just for reference. Thanks again for all the help.

    2865 - showing the ledge with rust and crud that the lid sat onto
    2866 - the floor of the safe, with bugs - looks pretty gross when lit up by flash
    2867 - more floor, more bugs, the piece of paper - it's actually the tear-off bit from a book of stamps
    2868 - the crown jewels other photo of the lid, so I didn't upload it
    2869 - the lid, with the silver roundie looking yoke - this is what slides out and locks when you use the key and this is what wouldn't move back in due to being siezed up after years of non use. When the black platic was removed there were a lot of bugs underneath (i.e. inside the lid).

    GPS co-ords - 51.513871,-0.088207.

    The first photo is beautiful in it's own right. You should show it here and ask the members what they think it is.
