Summerville Visit: Aug 2nd-4th 2023

[Kroy]

Heading to South Carolina, Summerville area for 3 days next week to search for shark teeth and fossils with my 19 year old son. August 2nd - 4th.

Anyone interested in meeting up, let me know.

 

I have been there once before years ago, and have been trying to best prepare as it seems the results haven't been so great (reading posts online). Last time we went we had lots of rain and water levels were prohibitive.

 

I read the rules of no tools, which I presume means no sifting. Does anyone know if the rules are only for Summerville itself or surrounding areas too?

 

I know no one wants to give up any spots, but if there are any tips/considerations, please let me know.

Thank you

The no tools law applies in Summerville city limits, although I recently had a museum volunteer tell me that digging is also prohibited in Ladson, which I had not heard before.  They got a lot of rain over the weekend and water levels were high, but should be down by next week (unless any tropical storms develop before then).
