Got out for a little while today

           Chris and I went out today to scout two new areas but neither produced so we went to another spot where we have had some good luck with small Megs. Most tend to be beach worn and are generally black in color but we find quite a few and we have both found some really nice ones it there occasionally in our hunts. These are all

the whole ones I found today, the one in the lower left has evidence of cusps which is a first for me: ) Would've been nice if it was in a little better shape but I'll take with I can get : )

While not one of my best days hunting,  it was still nice to finally get out and do some scouting. It's only a matter of time before it pays off with some nicer treasures. My finds today aren't worth putting up.  But here's a nice bone I found there last season with a gator bite.  Congrats on a megalicious day Jeff! Lol.

Nice haul man! I'm scratching my Peace river itch tomorrow morning and am hoping for some good finds as well. Great inspiration for the night before! :D

I've never found a Megalodon tooth and I'm a little jealous that you found as many as you did. :) Congrats!

Hey Jeff, good to see you and Chris got out and had some keepers. Keep hunting for the monsters! I did get up north but nothing to scream about but I did enjoy the visits and to dig with the pros was a treat...Did see some Gomph material coming out of the ground which was very cool too. My phone continues to take photos when its plugged into a wall outlet or in the car..but not so much when trying to take pictures in the field....LOL. 

 

Continued hunting success....Regards, Chris

Gomph material sounds exciting.  Could be a place worth another visit.  I found my 1st 2 chunks of gomph just this year and more would certainly be welcome... Did find a chunk of hosenose skull on Sunday...

That many Megs are always exciting to find. Jeff Keep you anticipating a larger or more perfect one is next.
