JarrodB Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I went on a 6 1/2 mile kayak adventure with a couple of friends on the North Sulphur River. We started off the day at 7AM by seeing 2 bald eagles and almost getting one truck stuck in the mud. We managed to get the truck out and started our adventure. As soon as I got down by the bridge I found one of my best artifacts to date and a nice piece of mastodon tooth enamel. We got a mile or so in and something made me ask my friend if he had the keys to his truck that was parked 6 1/2 miles downstream? Lol he had left them in the other truck without thinking. He went back and got his keys and the adventure begin. We saw very little footprints the entire trip. We didn't find many artifacts but I filled up a 1 gallon ziplock with mosasaur bones and other random fossils. One of my friends found his first shark vert, mosasaur vert and point so he was really excited. I gave my new hunter friend all my lower quality items and didn't bother taking pics of them. The water was low in some places so we had to drag the kayaks a lot but it was fun. We were finding so much stuff that we realized we would never make it the other vehicle before night if we did not quit hunting and paddle. It was so hard passing by untouched bars lol. We managed to make it back to the bridge by 7PM which was 12 hours later. Getting the kayaks up the steep bridge at the second location took all 3 men and a long rope. I got home at 9:30 PM. I'm sore but found some great fossils and artifacts. My phone died early in the trip so I missed out on some great pics. For some reason I can only post a few pics at a time since the latest update.

dalmayshun Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 im so envious. In Florida a law has been passed that you have to leave native american artifacts in situ...makes no sense to me. How are archiologists supposed to advance their knowledge of ancient cultures. On the apalachicola river I found pieces of pottery with distinctive scratch marks on it...I took numerous photos, but left it. In researching the finds, I discovered that such kinds of pottery are considered paleo-indian, and remain from pre-spanish discovery. So cool...Wish i had pocketed it, but then I also couldn't tell anyone else about it. Such a mixed bag. It must make sense for someone, just not me. So I am envious of your beautiful artifacts, and fossils as well. Fortunately, Florida still allows us to pick those up, though you do need a permit for vertebrates. l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitbat Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Looks like you had a fun (and productive) trip! I haven't see the NSR with that much water in it for quite some time.
