Wouldn’t it be rotten into a no-longer-butter substence? (dairy products tend to change over time – milk to cheese and all that).

oh, the full article answers that “The butter has changed to white and is now adipocere, which is essentially animal fat, the same sort of substance that is found on well-preserved bodies of people or animals found in the bog.”

…Now will they also try to return this lost property to the rightful owners being the still living relatives of the one who put it there in the first place like that watch was found in an old wreck and that recently was returned to relatives…?

“We’ve found no body parts in Gilltown bog,” Ms. Smith said, before adding, “but here’s hoping!”

If one does not read the caption, it would be quite puzzling to see these people looking so pleased to be posing in front of a giant turd.
