Seafordva Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hey guys, just wanted to say hello as I am new to the forum. Everything that I have read over the past few weeks has been very interesting and very informative. My father-in-law, son, and myself have gotten the shark tooth bug over the past summer. We have spent most of our time on the York river hunting. We usually come across 5-10 teeth in 5 hours of looking/sifting in the Yorktown formation (along the Colonial Parkway) Is this somewhat normal to find these amounts? We all have a great time, especially the 10 year old and want that to continue. Any comments or suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance.

Auspex Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Welcome to the Forum River finds can be pretty variable from section to section and week to week, as moving-water sorting obeys many natural variables.

Seafordva Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks! Should have mentioned the twenty feet of riprap our wonder corp of engineers laid between the river and the bank! Been back to the same area a couple times since with very limited luck. Always wondered if the teeth are above or below the shell layer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocks Anne Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Would love to get together to hunt some time (I live in Poquoson)! I can share what little knowledge I have learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
