Human poo a mine of precious metals
Never was the expression "where there's muck there's brass" more appropriate.
Scientists have discovered a literal goldmine of precious metals in human poo.
The US researchers are investigating ways of flushing out the valuable minerals, including gold, silver and rare elements such as palladium and vanadium.
So far the group has already identified gold in waste from American sewage treatment plants at levels which if found in rock could be worth mining.
The microscopic nuggets were observed using a scanning electron microscope.
Lead scientist Dr Kathleen Smith, from the US Geological Survey, said: "The gold we found was at the level of a minimal mineral deposit."
She added: "There are metals everywhere - in your hair care products, detergents, even nanoparticles that are put in socks to prevent bad odours."
The metals find their way into the body and end up being excreted and going down the toilet. At sewage treatment plants they are concentrated in left-over "biosolids", more than seven million tons of which are produced in the US each year.

The plane was heading from Heathrow to Dubai on Thursday - a seven-hour flight.
Abhishek Sachdev, who was on board tweeted: "Insane. Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet."
He told a newspaper: "The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd.
"About 10 minutes later he said 'You may have noticed there's a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets'.
"He said it was liquid faecal excrement. Those are the words he used."
The plane had been airborne for just 30 minutes when it turned round.
The next available flight was 15 hours later, so passengers had to be put up in a hotel overnight.
Speaking to Radio 1's Greg James, Sarah, who works for the airline said: "When you're up at that altitude the cabin has to be pressurised so the problem is that anything like that is actually a health and safety problem because only 50 percent of the air is being recycled and cleaned".
In a statement, BA says "A decision was taken to return for the safety and comfort of our customers on board.
"We're very sorry for the discomfort to our customers.
"We provided them with hotel accommodation and rescheduled the flight to depart the next day."
