What!!!
A Fisherman found giant 75lbs pearl worth $100million - but kept the 2ft gem under his bed for TEN YEARS as a good luck charm. Yes this happened to an un-named Filipino fisherman off the coast of the Palwan Islands.
The man was forced to move house when his wooden shack burned down, but luckily his pearl survived the inferno. The man told tourism officials he discovered the massive pearl in a giant clam.
Tourism officer Aileen Cynthia Amurao said: 'The fisherman threw the anchor down and it got stuck on a rock during a storm.

'He
noticed that it was lodged on a shell and swam down to pull up the
anchor, and also brought the shell with him. This was a decade ago and
he kept it at home.
'He didn't know how much it was worth and kept it tucked away at home as a simple good luck charm.
'We
were amazed when he brought it to us. We now need help from gemologists
to fully certify it. We're waiting for authentication from Gemologist
Institute and other international authorities.
'But
we believe Puerto Princesca is likely earn another prestigious title
and a record breaker for having the world's biggest natural giant pearl
from a giant clam.
