Worthless Or Illegal?
Steven quickly researched the legal status of ambergris within the United Kingdom. He was mildly relieved to learn that his country’s law labeled ambergris as a waste product. Unlike in the United States, where it is a highly illegal substance within the stringent whale protection laws. Steven then began to wonder whether his chunk of whale gold was worth anything, at least to anyone within his reach. Few people would want to pay for something that was considered waste!

The couple then got to researching if there had been any nearby sales of ambergris. They were astounded to find that a gentleman had discovered some ambergris in Morecambe, at a nearby town’s beach. He had managed to sell his piece of whale gut for $155,000! Morecambe wasn’t far from the Whittens, and they began wondering whether selling their chunk of “floating gold” was possible or not. If the Morecambe man did it, surely they could too?
