Slime covered ancient Dalek head dredged from English pond

Volunteers in Hampshire, England, discovered a Dalek head while cleaning trash from the bottom of a local pond! They're keeping the pond's location a secret, because, "The last thing we want are sci-fi fans descending on the pond frantically searching for other Dalek parts."

Sales executive Marc Oakland was pushing a rake around the bed of the shallow pool when he found the object with its distinctive eye stalk.

The 42-year-old said: "I'd just shifted a tree branch with my foot when I noticed something dark and round slowly coming up to the surface.

"I got the shock of my life when a Dalek head bobbed up right in front of me.

"It must have been down there for some time because it was covered in mold and water weed, and had quite a bit of damage.

"One of the dome lights was smashed, but the eye-stalk was intact and the head and neck stayed in one piece as I carefully lifted it out."
