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.

Has anything similar happened to you?

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.

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.giggle

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.

The grass is always greener on the other side, Deedee. I'm sure the pixies would give their little acorn cup caps to look like you.
