  1. Hello All, I am still fairly new to fossil collecting. I live here in South Florida and have been doing most of my fossil hunting on the Peace River. We have been using a sifter we picked up from Shark Frenzy in Venice Florida, which works great on the beach but less great on the river. I have been seeing awesome sand scoops and modified mud shovels here on the forum. I know lots of people on here seem to modify the items themselves, however that isn't something I have the experience or tools for. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to purchase or have one made?I attached a picture of one we used with a guide on the river, we loved the double handles and the reinforced scoop ,and would love to find something like this or have it made. Thank you all for your time.

    Finally came in the mail today!

    Can’t wait to put these to some use!
  3. Quick question for someone with more knowledge than me. I am trying to pick up some additional field gear . When it comes to the wider cold chisels with the handguard, which one am I suppose to buy? What I mean is Home Depot has several "different" types of wide / larger chisels. My options at HD are a floor, mason, brick, and an electricians chisel. All of these are the blue cold chisels. I am on a fixed disability income, so I have to be careful and try to get the proper tools the first time. LoL Thanks in advance for help or information pointing me in the right direction. Stay safe all, Bobo

    Essential Gear

    What equipment do you consider to be essential gear ? If you had to make an emergency helicopter trip to a dig site , what would you have in your rucksack ?

    Best Tool for Cleaning Mud ?

    The best tools for cleaning dust and rock from artifacts are Chisels and Brushes , and what to do when the conditions are wet ?

    Weed Whacker- Mazonia?

    I’ve heard that Mazonia is pretty overgrown and the fossils are difficult to get at. Are weed whackers allowed there?

    Boot recommendation

    Hey all, I do a lot of shark tooth hunting around Charleston, SC and am in need of new boots. I am not in creeks or anything. It is usually on islands (Drum Island, Morris Island, Cat Island for those that know the area) and a couple other land spots that can get very muddy. I have been wearing these Sperry boots but am curious if there is something out there that would be better. Primarily just looking for a pair that will keep my feet warm and dry and are easy to spray down afterward. I have been looking at some fishing boots like the ones below, but I feel like there is something better out there. https://www.xtratuf.com/collections/men/products/mens-12-in-legacy-boot-copper-tan https://pelagicgear.com/products/expedition-12-deck-boot-blackcharcoal?variant=29958229262414&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9d2UksCD7gIVBaGGCh326A2pEAQYASABEgJ0JfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Apologies if there is already a thread on this. If so feel free to point me to it, but I didn’t see one when I searched. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!
  8. Just an update: had to shelve quite a few plans due to work, new hires, a big grant, and the fact I have less than two weeks to finish the 500$ ScienceMobile to be able to get into a limited window site before it gets bulldozed for tract houses. looks like there’s fossils to be had nearby, so I’ll report back in a few weeks...gotta go rebuild the CVS on my forward drive shaft and finish the lift to get these 31s on. Also have to install the snorkel to get across the river.

    Getting Started In Southeast Wisconsin

    I'm excited to get into fossil collecting, but before I spend money on gear, I'd like to be able to make an informed decision. The fossils I'd be collecting are from the Silurian age Racine Dolomite. I know that Estwing tools are generally considered the best, but other than that, I am completely unsure as to which hammers and chisels would be most appropriate for breaking these apparently very hard rocks, or even how to go about using them. I know a spot on a friend's property (by the Milwaukee River) where there are a bunch of Silurian rocks piled up, so I don't think access will be a huge problem. Still, info about good sites would be welcome. Thanks.
  10. I am ringing in the new year with all sorts of research for three major field excursions and dozens of minor ones. I am getting re-certified in backcountry first aid, working on a rescue, top rope and rappelling re-cert, and cross-training to get back into my active duty physique in addition to using years of lessons learned to replace gear. Yeah, I know, this is on top of the dozens of other projects I am working on. You may even wonder when I sleep...the answer is I don't, much... I admit I am quite a bit out of date on most modern gear. I finally retired my circa 1987 Eureka two man tent in 2019 only because a now deceased rodent descided to burrow into it over the winter for instance... Anyway, I am very interested to see the gear yinze use, from your day trip load out to your "heading to the desert see you in two weeks" gear. High altitude, tropical, desert, lowlands, etc...I want to see it all. I'm interested in all of it. I should add, this is the stuff OTHER than fossil and geology tools and equipment!

    Cold Weather Handwear

    Hello Gang, I'm in the market for some serious cold weather overgloves. I wear Arc'teryx Merino wool 'gothic" liners which I wear under standard Mechanix for a general chill or while hammering and digging. I also have some Oakley Trigger 2 hybrid over shells and some Outdoor Research Southback over mitts that I use for the hikes to work and between sites. However the Oakleys are useless on windy days below 0C, and the Southbacks are only good down to about -10C. Neither is very water resistant. I'm in need of some overgloves or mittens that are water resistant and windproof and goon down around -20 to -30C, preferrably with a zippered access for getting the fingers out without having to don and doff all the time. Any suggestions much appreciated. (I have a cold weather, higher altitude trip in the near future, hence the questions!)
  12. All ready for the current season of collecting... Unfortunately all the organized events have been cancelled
  13. Hey everyone, I've seen this question asked before, but I am looking for something specifically for shark tooth hunting in shallow creeks. As for the knee pads, they will be getting soaking wet. So my concern is that the velcro might not hold. Does anyone have experience with kneeling in a creek with knee pads? Also, I was thinking about some 1.5mm or so neoprene diving gloves, but I absolutely need something that leaves my finger dexterity intact. I'm not getting the gloves for cold water, per se (I live in Florida). It's mainly so I don't cut myself on shards of glass or other sharp objects while I am sifting. I'd like to be able to pick out a small shark tooth from the sifter without having to remove my gloves every time. Thanks in advance!! Sam
