WILDKYLE Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The weather has FINALLY cooled down here in Florida, and it is comfortable to dig like maniacs in the shallow fossil-bearing creeks. The mosquitoes, thunderstorms, and risk of heat stroke has finally subsided, so we went out to take advantage of the beautiful Florida winter and find some shark teeth! So @Cris and myself headed out to a trusty old site that we have not visited in a long time. Luckily, some recent rains have moved things around and we were able to find some untouched places. I ended up finding one of the nicest Megalodon shark teeth I have ever found in my life! Along with some other amazing juvenile Megalodon teeth, Mako's, and even a piece of Mastodon tooth! What an absolutely insane day. I still can't stop looking at the tooth! 11 Fossil hunting from dawn til' dusk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 The thing that makes your guys videos so entertaining is the giddy reactions you two have when pulling out something good. You both act as if you are finding your very first fossil discovery every time. Love every one of these video episodes. You two will have to take me to that spot when I come out for a dig. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Great stuff!

That is so amazing to hear because when we first started doing this stuff we had to decide if we were going to be ourselves (which is the craziness you heard above)... or act like normal people. It didn't take us long to decide we did NOT want to act normal Fossil hunting from dawn til' dusk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 You are just expressing how we are feeling watching your vids. Except you are getting the joy of actually finding these things and keeping them in your collections of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
