black3887 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hello everyone, I have been posting in the South Carolina forum, but I have been made aware of this specific section of the forum for sharing trip photographs/finds. I will repost previous trips and continue to upload new trips to this thread; I try to go out and hunt every weekend! I am a novel fossil hunter, but it has quickly become my favourite hobby and quite the obsession! I live in Charleston, SC and I scout several sites every few weeks. Here are some of my exciting finds! I hope you all enjoy my trip reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixgill pete Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The Charleston area is a great area for finding teeth, and it looks like you are off to a great start. Looking forward to your future trip reports.

mrieder79 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Pretty darn good start for a "beginner." You've got some nice teeth there. Look forward to seeing what else you come up with. Luck is the most important skill of a fossil diver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazuren Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Nice finds! Always wished I had been into "hunting" prior to my mother-in-law moving up here from South Carolina. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black3887 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Does anyone have any idea as to what this fossil bone is/apart of? It's quite large Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Pelvic bone is My guess. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

black3887 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Last few weeks of hunting. Any idea as to what species that molar belongs to? I believe it would be mammal but I am not well versed yet in identifying. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Wow, some great hunting grounds you have up there! That's a great start : ) Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Excellent finds. That is a good sized angustidens. You may want to take several different pics of the molar, including the chewing surface and post it in the fossil ID forum.

Ridgehiker Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Nice finds. Nice cabinet. It really makes a great hobby when you have a display of self found specimens. ...keeps the enthusiasm going ( for decades!). I can look at specimens in my cabinets and still experience a bit of the rush I felt when I first found them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pocock Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Nice finds, thanks for sharing them, you have embarked on a fascinating hobby that will give you decades of enjoyment. I agree with Canadawest, rediscovering fossils in your display case brings back all the memory's of finding it and prepping it (if needed) Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn88 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 You are finding some great stuff to be new! I'm new also, but a couple of hours from Charleston. Any tips on how to find good sites? I can't really scout locations from so far away, but I'm looking to get down that way soon for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
