A man whose dog found a lump of rare and valuable whale sick on a beach is expecting to be able to sell it for more than £100,000.

Ken Wilman, 50, was out walking on Morecambe beach when his dog Madge started sniffing a lump of rock.

He told Sky News: "At first I thought it was a football but as I got closer I realised it was a big stone.

Arghhhh, these stories make me sick:

In an ideal World a law would be passed were NO guns were allowed and all those out there destroyed, trouble is the law makers are not going to take a risk of trying to pass that without making sure they are armed first.

LMAO I just read the story. He found it where my friend lives. I'll have to tell her to be on the look out for more whale barf as she could make a nice bit of change.

Illegal immigration isn't a new concept in the US. Just ask the Native Americans.

Whale vomit is also known as ambergris and is used to make perfume. It is formed in the digestive system of sperm whales and has a very strong and unpleasant aroma.


Yep, I have spelt some of these perfumes on the tube...arggghhh.

Anyway, I`m off to the beach with my rubber gloves, dog and bucket.....hopefully I can send you all a postcard in a few days time. :w00t:

No, but I can always bung it in the freezer for a few hours, will that increase the price?


Are you looking to buy? :w00t:

Well it's much cheaper.

It's going for a song at an auction for third world countries.
