Fans and friends alike were quick to comment on his discovery, with many telling him to get rid of it - quickly.

Later on, Paul issued an update to his many followers. He said: "Thanks for all your comments about this, whatever it is I’ve buried it in the woods. It’s a super moon tonight and my birthday tomorrow so I’m not taking any chances!"

One follower suggested what the jar could be. Angie Kew said: "It's a 'witch bottle'... supposed to protect... it started in the 17th century and jars or bottles were filled with wee and had hair/nail clippings added."
