Andy B Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just wanted to post a pic. I've been to Big Brook a handful of times over the past year and found some nice shark teeth and other trinkets. This Winter I found a really cool tooth I was very excited about...and then sad about...and then was happy again to have it...even though it was broken. I think it may be a pretty unique find and even though I go for the shark teeth, this one is my favorite find so far. I'm sure you guys will recognize it!

Andy B Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 I would agree. I recognized it immediately in my gravel sifter, by the root. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The length was about 3/4". It's very heavy and robust relative to any of the shark teeth I've found. Wish it was unbroken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel motivated to get back out but it has been below freezing all week and it's snowing now. That makes for really cold hands in the water!!

5 Humper Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Wow. I love that tooth. Great score. Whole or not. It's crazy. You're freezing in your creeks, and we're burning up down here in FL! Even Florida should be much cooler than it is right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
