Kurt Komoda Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 What is the etiquette on returning to spot shown to me by a fossil hunting guide? Last year a guide took me and some others to a nice creek in South Carolina. It's really the only spot I know of. Is it okay to return to it on my own, or is that frowned upon?

Fossildude19 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I think it is best if you contact the guide, and ask permission to go back to the site on your own. They may not want you going to their grounds if they have a trip planned within a few days of your being there. Follow any rules and/or guidelines established by them, and do not divulge the location to others. 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

facehugger Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 One question. Is this creek public or private land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Komoda Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm pretty sure it was public- but not 100% sure. I saw other people walking through the woods with sifting equipment as we were walking in, so it's a known spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the creek only 200 feet long ? .. sounds like you need to strap on your hiking boots for some walk-about no ? Cheers, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 When in doubt, take what you've learned and scout for new spots. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I agree with Tim. Always ask someone who showed you a site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
