of something on the beach and thought it was ambergris. He did a test someone told him about (poke a hot wire into it, see if it produces sticky strings when you pull it out) and was sure he was rich. It turned out to be a huge ball of crude natural rubber, probably fell off a barge. :(
That thing has such an interesting shape, it belongs in a museum. It would be a shame to process it.
