A Cornish man made a rather curious discovery in the form of a mysterious rhino horn that had somehow wound up in a cave near his home. According to a local media report, John Roundhill stumbled upon the peculiar object while showing some friends the cavern, which is something of a legendary spot in the village of Polperro as it was once the haunting grounds of infamous 18th century smuggler Willy Wilcox. Initially thinking that the odd find was perhaps a piece of wood or a horse's hoof, he subsequently showed it to a friend who had lived in Africa and learned that, in fact, it was a rhino's horn that had been sawed off of the unfortunate creature.
