Fossil or bit of metal?

Recommended Posts

I'm new to fossils(apart from basic school stuff). Saw this on a walk on the coastal path in polzeath, Cornwall- is it a fossil (hopefully) or just a bit of metal!

Welcome to the Forum! :)
It looks like it's  a copper artifact (human made), maybe necklace or similar. Some of the segments are oxidized, greenish in color.

We didn't dig it out no! Annoyed we didn't! Planning to return and see if it's still there in a couple of months....does anyone know if Cornwall UK is a good place for fossil hunting?
