A dog walker who spotted a smelly yellow rock on a beach says discovering it as whale vomit was like finding a “bag of cash”. Ken Wilman said his boxer dog Madge found the 6lb lump, which could be worth £100,000, in Morecambe, Lancashire . Ken only realised its potential value after an online search revealed the substance was ambergris, an ingredient used in the manufacture of perfume. A French dealer has offered £43,000 but experts say the lump of hardened intestinal slurry from a sperm whale could be worth twice as much.
