Potomac 5/26 & 5/28

[RCW3D]

Why a whole bunch of you are having a great time at Aurora (yes, I wish I was there), we spent a couple days on the Potomac and took a trip to Calvert Marine Museum. On Friday we ran around and did some errands before heading down to the river...then we realized that we had screwed up. It was the first day that the river was calm after a few days of rain and wind and the beach looked absolutely prime...and one lady that we see there all of the time had a full collection bag. Oops! We still had a good time but I would have loved to have been the first one on the beach.

Saturday we celebrated our anniversary by heading over to Solomon's Island and the Calvert Marine Museum. I had a bunch of teeth that I donated to the fossil pit there, my kids love digging in there and I expect every other kid that goes there does too.

Today we went back down to the river again and it was slim pickings...the busiest I have seen it this year, people everywhere. We didn't stay very long but we still had a good time, even stopped to help a box turtle cross the road on the way out.

 

Friday's haul.

 

 

My wife found the big Mako.

 

 

Partial shark vert.

 

 

Saturday at the Museum...Love this place!

 

 

These will make some kids happy!

 

 

Sunday's haul.

 

 

Mako...too bad it had damage.

 

 

Still love finding these, even when broken.

 

 

Some of my favorites from today, haven't found a stingray barb in a while...I'd like to find a big one some day.

 

 

My little buddy when we were leaving.

Awesome finds! Nice that you made the donation and help the box turtle.

@RCW3D excellent finds and that's very noble of you to put those teeth up in the pit in the CCMM. I would have just hoarded them.  We need to go out sometime!

Congratulations on your anniversary and spending it doing what you love to do! Nice haul!
