Well done, Skye! Probably the best part of moving to Aus so far, right? :P

Nah, I found a keeper for a life partner :wub:

But this comes close :ninja:

 

Thanks everyone-this is my first vertebrate win, and not for lack of trying :D There's been some tough competition out there! And Ash is right, this was a particularly exciting find! Funny thing is, I was arbitrarily stating how I would love to find a croc jaw with teeth all season, despite the ridiculous odds....

And now we've found that what Ash was hoping for all season was found not twenty meters away from this find at about the same time... It was left in a plaster jacket due to the advice of others indicating it was something more mundane until the other day when we found out it was anything but :ninja: !!!

But until it is prepped to see the light of day, I will reveal no more! 

Thanks again everyone, and congrats to the other contestants for their impressive finds!

Congratulations, that is the find of a lifetime.

Maybe your TFF namesake knew the desire of your heart and wanted to bless you with it.

Thanks so much, everyone! Surprised so many know how to properly spell my name :P  It is nice that such a small detail is known by members I have known for so long on the Forum that I would consider them friends-and it is proof such a sense is not blindly founded :)
