Whale Vomit May Fetch Thousands of Dollars

According to CBS a British 8-year-old named Charlie, found a chunk of whale vomit on a beach in England. You'll be amazed at how much it was worth!

Although that may be surprising in itself, since the chance of you finding whale vomit is worse than hitting Powerball, that fact that it may be worth $63,000 is what has everyone talking.

If you've never heard of "ambergris" here's the basics; this rare solid, waxy substance is created in the intestines of sperm whales & is used in creating perfumes & fragrances with a history dating all the way back to ancient Egyptians.

It's value is anywhere between $16,000 and $63,000 dollars. Charlie's dad says they, "are waiting for some more information from marine biology experts."

This stuff is apparently so awesome the website "How Stuff Works" even has an article entitle 'How Can Whale Vomit Help Me Retire.'

Which puts a whole new spin on the saying, 'One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure'...
