The Jersey Devil Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 That’s a crazy find with some sweet colors to boot. Isn’t that also as big as the Maryland ones get? “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokiehunter Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 About as nice as you could ask for. In 10+ or so years of collecting that is the 2nd nicest tooth I've seen from the cabins in terms of quality and beats any I ever found there. Congrats. That place always seemed to be feast of famine for big teeth. My experience was always you find a bunch of little teeth and not much else or but every 10th or so trip I'd find a trip maker that made the other 9 trips worth it. I think that tooth would make my next 99 or so trips worth it. Congrats again! Oh... and Jersey Devil... no, they get bigger than 4 inches. I know with certainty of at least 3 teeth that are 5+ from that area and 1 (that I never laid eyes on) but I believe exists from the stories that is purported to be the biggest tooth ever found from the cliffs at a hair over 7 inches (The mythical Dougie tooth).
