Acid - please confirm you are happy we discuss this options before guessing (ie is you agreement with your mate that it can be discussed? It does say "people")
Cheers

Meh - lets discuss it anyway
The thing that I cant reconcile is that its more than 100 years old but not made of metal. It rules out lots of coins, medieval weapons and armour,
What about something like a postage stamp maybe - a penny black?

Round up
It's between 100-1000 years old.
It's organic.
Not a religious artefact.
Not been crafted.
Not heavy.
Would sell for over £1,000 (probably).
Not functional.
Not metal.
From outside the UK.
Isn't a single word
Not found below ground
Not of animal origin
FOI
Its not an
Egg Yolk
Dinosaur Tooth
Tiger tooth
Rhino horn
Tortoise shell
Missed a couple:
is NOT living
is NOT an item which you would say is commonly held by the population (ie at least once in their lifetime)

For me that leaves something in pretty much its natural state (although it's not living), and not of animal origin (so not a tooth, bone, hair, ivory, etc.): An old flower An dried piece of fruit/vegetable Spices Seeds  |

It isn't crafted!
so can we assume that it therefore must be naturally formed? I was thinking you can omit all rocks etc as it couldn't be <1000 years old |

Worth asking the question 'was it ever alive?'?

Unless of course it HAS been crafted, and is of human origin (and therefore animal origin).

Potentially it could be something like soil from the Amazon, but that's not worth £1,000.
So maybe a piece of turf from a sporting venue (non-UK)? Could argue that it's been crafted though...
