I found half a human thumb in a bale of shredded hemp bedding. It had been dried and looked like a shiny coloured stone. I contacted the manufacturer who said 'Oh yes that would be our production managers, he had a mishap with a machine a few weeks ago' He sent a driver with a gift of a van full of bedding to collect the thumb! My children then aged 7 and 9 had their friends home from school to see the severed thumb!!!

THE most fabulous "Show and Tell" ever! :D

;O Poor chap, but I can imagine the kids loving that!
I once found half a Jack Russell in the hay.

Don't worry about it, probably a one-off, and horses don't look for sharp sticks etc before they lie down in a field. These things happen- I found a complete electric fence post in a bale of hay once.
