HuntingMillers Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Looking to explore an area outside of our "home base" this Sunday. Plan to head out Sat evening and venture to the Calvert Cliffs area, OR Aurora, NC for an early Sunday hunt. Any tenured hunters of shark teeth have a recommendation on which direction may be best? Pros/cons of each locale? Would love to meet up with an expert/local in either area. Not to discover your honey hole or special spots, but to learn the lay of the land and laws to make sure we stay in the right, and some general knowledge tips on hunting in either place. Thanks!!

sixgill pete Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Either place would be a good choice in my opinion. Aurora is the easier of the two to hunt. You drive to the museum and search the piles that are provided right across the street. I cannot help you witht he cliffs, but with the right person and the right area I am sure you would make some great finds. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingMillers Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Thank you sixgill! I thought I read the museum itself is not open on Sundays. Wondering if you're still allowed to hunt their piles wo the center being open for business? Hmm..time to make a phone call about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingAlongToo Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Screening the piles at the Aurora Fossil Museum is much more kid friendly, in case you were planning to take them along. If you decide to go to Calvert Cliffs, there are 3 public access points. You can check weather and tide forecasts on the NOAA website. Let me know if you need specific links. Don't know much about history Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books......... Sam Cooke - (What A) Wonderful World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a kid free trip, so maybe we will save Aurora for them, and head to Calvert then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokiehunter Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'd say if you don't have waders don't bother with the cliffs or go with very low expectations as to the size of beach you can search depending on tides. Low 60s for highs Sunday and water still in low 50s will make it a very uncomfortable or limited search area day without them. You'll be able to ditch them the by the end of next week with temps in the 80s for a few days. Water will spike into the 60s quick which is tolerable with just shorts and beach shoes.

MeargleSchmeargl Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Have you thought about going to Summerville, SC? Places I've been there are really good (unless you're from Summerville). 1 Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.
