BillyBayou Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I'm new to fossil hunting. Got my start on the Cooper in SC. I am currently in Richmond VA and looking for opportunities closer to the house. I have a shallow running river boat, all my own SCUBA gear with advanced certifications and equipment. Any leads are appreciated. Also willing to take someone knowledgeable of places to hunt along the Virginia coast and rivers. Thank you Billy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBayou Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks y'all.... I scouted Fossil Beach at Westmoreland Park yesterday. Small beach full of people with noodle strainers...lol I walked the length of the beach, looking at the water conditions. Nearly 2 ft visibility. The beach is well searched from what I saw. I wonder if diving that area would be productive? Anyone want to give it a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
