zachj Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) So me and forum member makomecrazy wanted to go to SC for a while and decided that this weekend was best with all this recent rain the east coast has been having. We left very early saturday morning and arrived around 10:30. We hit the ditch that i went to the first time i went to summerville and I think someone got to it before us. We found some smaller teeth but no big angys were laying out. when we got to the end of the ditch it was more productive and we found some baby angys. We picked up a bunch of rocks with out hands and put them on the bank to help us see teeth a little better. After that ditch we went to another ditch in ladson. That ditch had a lot of tigers and hemis and the teeth were a lot darker then i was used to. The ditch was not productive and smelled like green mill run. After that we went to another large ditch. It was very deep in some places and the water was dark and hard to see in the water. I picked up a few teeth there but it wasnt that great. After that ditch we went to another creek and someone got to that ditch before us too. We sifted a bit and i found a killer bull shark tooth and a worn angy. After a long day we relaxed and went to sleep. The next morning we hit the first ditch we went to again but a different section of it. I found a worn baby meg and a very small baby angy and a lot of tigers and hemis. After that we went to harleyville to check out some lafarge piles but that place smelled awful. We got a bucket of it and left. edit: in the first pic of the riker there are 2 yellow colored angys that i didnt find, they were purchased 1.) these are my 2 trips to SC put togather in one riker 2.)baby angy 3.)Another one 4.)baby meg Edited June 11, 2013 by zachj one day i will find a tooth over 3 inches in good conditon haha.

It was an awesome trip and hopefully we can go again some time soon! Thanks for coming along with me man. It would have been boring without you. Thanks again. Nice teeth. Too bad we didn't find any angys that were above 2 inches. Next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeloiVarden Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 It is tough around here. When I used to hit the ditches, I would go the morning after a rain. I usually tried to arive about an hour before sun up with a head lamp an still sometimes saw foot prints. If I saw foot prints, I often would immediately turn around and go to the next place. Some ditches have honey holes though, so it is good to know exactly where to look. Your collection is growing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
