Crossed a good one off my list yesterday

      Yesterday Chris (Search4), Dan (Grimlock) and I went out to a local creek to do a little hunting. The creeks are very low now due to a drought we've been in all winter and many areas that are too deep generally are more accessible at the moment. I wanted to do some scouting farther downstream with the low water but Chris suggested we check a very deep hole that we've never been able to get into before we went farther in and I couldn't be happier:D We ended up staying in that one hole most of the day and all of us had a pretty good day as the finds were coming out constantly. When we first got in there I said I was going to find a sloth claw today and couldn't believe my luck when on my first sift I found a sloth phalanx and a few sifts later a matching claw core.... I was walking on air the rest of the day and ended up with plenty of goodies for all the digging I did:)

Man that water is brown, is that from you guys? :headscratch:I scored myself a hookah rig yesterday and looking forward to putting that in the water soon.

 

So where are the fossil pictures?

Hmmmm. One of my favorites Kogiopsis.  I was out yesterday also but almost embarassed to show my small number of finds.. just a few Makos.  I was greatly disappointed with the lack of water clarity.
