I once thought I’d found a fossilised dinosaur egg in a Derbyshire cave. It turned out to be a petrified ham sandwich, left behind by a miner from back when they used to work the area.

I suppose you could consider C/S a disappointing outcome. It doesn't do what it says on the tin.
While walking along a beach in my home state I mistook a piece of Pyrite which is a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. I brought it home anyhow cause it was so shiny.

You don't strike me as being anybody's fool, Bearwoman.

Harbal: You should go back for it. By now it will probably make a very unusual paper weight, all your friends will want to know where they can get one.

I once bought a Roman ring at a flea market in Amsterdam. It was ugly, and too big for me, but I thought I had got a collector's item. I found out soon afterwards that they are a dime a dozen. I suppose there were lots of Romans with 10 fingers each..that's a lot of rings.

Hang on to it molly, if you live long enough it'll be a genuine antiquity one day.
