Mudduck Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Ok, this is my 3rd in sit. pic. I think....any way. Did a little hunting today. Went around my nieghborhood and haven't done that since last winter. I Had an ok day but the last find really made up for the lack luster day. Charleston, SC land find. Haven't measured the tooth yet but close to 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Mighty fine Gt. White! Sure is hard to spot in the first picture; just an edge of enamel.

Will your neighbors be OK when you bring in the heavy digging equipment like bulldozers and backhoes to fossil hunt? Marco Sr. Lol! You know, I have been trying to think of a way to search for teeth without destroying property. I can't think of any other way. I will just have to leave it the way I found it. Lol. I have seen some gallery's on this forum using a black light. Might have to try it looking for teeth at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have so many collectors in MD and VA that some are now collecting at night with lights. I may give the black light a try myself. My vision isn't the greatest but I imagine that it would be hard to miss a glowing tooth. Marco Sr. "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."

Some I have met while searching and have taught them how to search. Most just search to find small ones on top and out in the open. I can go behind them and still find good teeth. I also give away teeth to the kids. They love it. Later they tell me they take them to school for show and tell. Especially the younger kids, they call them dinosaur shark teeth. Lol. Gotta love it.
