AmazoniteJosh Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) On some recent collecting trips along the Potomac, the people we've talked to there said that Flag Ponds was a really good place to hunt. So we're planning on going there soon. Browsing the forum, I found out that walking a little ways north/left at flag ponds can produce good makos, I also heard that Flag Ponds isn't always open, anybody know when? Mainly, I'm curious about what people find there, and what their best shark tooth finds from there are. I still have not found my first meg. So I'm wondering what you all have found there, and what to expect. Edited June 29, 2014 by AmazoniteJosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrieder79 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Found a 1.25" mako there about 20 years ago. Luck is the most important skill of a fossil diver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_gotta_rock Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Went there this weekend. Found dozens of shark teeth and ray dental plates. Also found two cetacean bones - a partial vertebra and a complete bone I have yet to identify. I refuse to give up my childish wonder at the world.
