Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney's Wax Head Found In A Bin By A Homeless Man

London, England (CNS) - Sir Paul McCartney's head has been found in a bin by a homeless man. Anthony Silva has found the waxwork of the Beatle legend's head and earned himself a reward of 2,000 pounds [around $3,200].

The wax head was left on a train last week by Joby Carter, who had been traveling on a London to Reading train on Thursday. Carter offered the reward money to whoever would find and return the head.

Silva told the Daily Star that he found McCartney's wax head in a bin at a Reading train station, initially thinking it was a Halloween mask. He claimed the reward from Carter after realizing what a treasure he had discovered.

The head, made in the 1960s and displayed at the Louis Tussauds museum in Great Yarmouth, is expected to sell from 5,000 pounds to 10,000 pounds, or around $8,000 to $16,000, at Carters Entertainment auctioneers.
