Big Tipper
Jack Tipper was wandering along the beach in Ilfracombe, Devon England, when he tripped over a lump of 'stuff'. Closer examination showed it to be ambergris aka 'floating gold' .... whale vomit to you and me.
This is a valuable product used in perfume making, and the bit found by Mr Tipper could fetch £200,000 ($275,440) ..... not to be sniffed at.
