megateeth Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) I have been out of touch lately, but these are a few of my more recent finds. I will try to post more often in the future These are my better finds from today. On the first dive I found the 3.05 inch Mako tooth. On the second dive i found this top quality 5.9" Megalodon tooth. It looks like there is a chip near the root on the right side but the blade is rippled from crowding in the mouth. It is a killer Megalodon tooth. This is a 4.45" flawless Megalodon tooth from Saturday's dive!! Some new necklaces I added to my site Lastly a 6" Meg I found a week or so ago. I will try to post more going forward. ETA I have been putting my find photos on Facebook so if anyone wants to see large photos or more recent finds you can see them here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Megateeth-Fossils/102023704655 From now on I will post them here as well.

AeroMike Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hey Bill, what compound are you using on the teeth when you do polish them? Nice finds too, I need to get to diving down here in Savannah area. " This comment brought to you by the semi-famous AeroMike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrieder79 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 And thus, in a week of diving, Megateeh has accomplished my lifelong tooth hunting goals. Congratulations on the fantastic finds. What beautiful teeth. Luck is the most important skill of a fossil diver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowsharks Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 OMG. Your collecting (diving) is in a completely different stratosphere. Anything over 3" is considered a once in a lifetime find for me since I have so few teeth over that size (we don't grow'em too big here in MD). I can't imagine finding the size teeth that you do, even if you only find a few of these huge pristine specimens per year, that's more than most folks will find in a lifetime. With regards to how you prep/buff the teeth, do you use jewelers pumice? I heard some folks use that, while some use Mother's aluminum Mag wheel polish, toothpaste, etc. Daryl.

TNGray Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) I want to be you! At least long enough to find one giant one... And nice double entendre… "Killer Meg Tooth". LOL! Let me know if you find any Vegan Megs! Edited December 17, 2013 by TNGray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogdare Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think I just recently came across your storefront, and drolled all over it. Need to bookmark that for a future present for my wife. I'd rather give her one that I found myself, but the odds of me finding a meg are slim, not impossible since Sharktooth Hill is only 2 hours away, but slim.
