Beginner Trip Tips? Calvert Cliffs, Girl Scout Trip
snarkshark posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Sometime before the end of June 2020, I'd like to take my Girl Scout troop (approx 20 girls, ages 6-12) on a trip to look for sharks teeth. I've read through some of the tips in previous posts, and it seems like there are some good fossil hunting locations near Bayfront Park and at the Matoaka Beach cabins. I plan to make a few floating sifters out of PVC pipe, and will give them each a collection jar. I do have a few questions: 1. Is one of the two locations above better than the other? Is the $5 per person fee worth it for the daily trip to the cabins' beach? 2. Is there a particular month of the year when you find more teeth and fossils? 3. Will the girls need waders - or, are knee-high rain boots sufficient? 4. I saw the tide chart - how should we time our arrival? I saw somewhere that arriving between 1 to 3 hours early is ideal? 5. Any other beginner trips - particularly for a group? Thanks! -
I have been so busy the last few months I haven't been out hunting much. I am still a relative beginner when it comes to fossil hunting, even though I am up to nearly 250 teeth. Getting right to it, I was wondering if there is anyone in the St. Augustine/JAX area that would like to meet up and do a group hunt? I have myself and my girlfriend. Later this summer we will both have kayaks, but as of right now I just have one kayak for myself. So anyways if anyone would like to do a local group hunt let me know and hopefully we can find some big teeth.
