Hey guys! So I just did my first mini weekend trip with my mom to Greens Mill Run in Greenville, NC.. We arrived Friday night at our hotel to make sure we had our gear and everything ready for the morning.. Saturday morning we parked at the elementary school parking lot and looked for about 30 minutes directly behind the school in a Tiny creek that is right in front of what looks like a new foot bridge. No luck. The water runs pretty quick and there are huge rocks everywhere. Second spot to try was the park which is about a 1/2 mile from the school. There is parking and porter potty if needed. We checked almost every opening of the creek there was and couldn't tell how deep it really was (the water is deep, and dark because of all the rain in the past week. A lot!) finally found one little spot that had rocks that I could see on the bottom. Got in, started sifting, and bam! First I started getting 3-5 teeth at a time. Then 10-25! They were mostly all small.. But it was so much fun actually finding a bunch at one time! We stayed there about 2 1/2 hours. I counted my findings that night at the hotel, 267!! The last day we went to the 10th street Bridge. This was an awesome spot. Nice and shallow and easy to find teeth. There was Tons of glass so def. wear water shoes! This day we stayed from 8:30 to 12:30. I haven't counted those yet but I'm guessing I found around 200 to 300 more. That's 500 in just two half days of searching.. i will say, it's hard work, but I don't mind.. I got to get out and explore somewhere I've never been before. I will take a few pictures but nothing to great except a few ok sized makos and found my first few large crow shark teeth! Thanks for the info from everyone last week on where to go!!
