MakoMeCrazy Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 A couple friends and I headed down to Charleston SC to hunt the beaches around there. Zachj, and LeeCreek2thHunter (Adrain) and I (Brian) met up with CBK (Cade) to hunt one of his fossil sites. It is a great beach spot and we had a blast hunting together. The shark teeth and other fossils there are all dredged, so they're worn and broken but occasionally you can find a perfect one. Many thanks to CBK for taking us out and hunting with us! Can't wait to make it back down there. ...And check out that little turtle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleoworld-101 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 WOW! Great video! Lots of cool fossils AND cool wildlife. They are some superb finds, love the Megs and that Horseshoe Crab was unexpected lol. Very jealous! "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busyeagle Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Sweet! That is an impressive quantity of fossils for one trip. A lot of shamers it's true, but you came away with a few really great specimens as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallingfossils Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Awesome trip guys! Some of those teeth are really gorgeous. I've had some really good luck when I've seen turtles that size on the beaches up here (no joke). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you left the turtle. That is a diamondback terrapin, protected species in many places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokiehunter Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Wow. What a great haul and video. I'm going to have to remember this thread the next time I'm stuck on travel and can't hunt so that I can get my hunting fix from the video. Thanks!

MakoMeCrazy Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 I hope you left the turtle. That is a diamondback terrapin, protected species in many places. Well of course we did. Not only that, it's extremely difficult to match it's habitat at home and it probably would have ended up dying if we took it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
