megateeth Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 About ten days ago we found a small hole full of fossils. My friend that sits on the boat actually identified it because it was not on any of the charts. He found it while he was fishing and so we went to check it out last Wednesday. Needless to say I owe him bigtime. I dove it pretty hard seven of the last ten days. The first three days were great. The first day I found two slightly chipped 6" teeth. Those were the largest. The last four days were just OK. Today I found like 5 small teeth in two dives and all were chipped. It was a small hole so I knew it would not last long and it didn't. The walls are so steep that you can not even extend the hole by digging into the site. That is what I tried today. It was a blast while it lasted.

That is very true, and there are lots of slow days. I get one like this once every two years if I am lucky.

Megalodon1 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Being in that hole would be better than gender itself!!!!

barefootgirl Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Oh wow!!! I'm so glad you had a good time and I'm jealous that I cant find those here. For real though those are just sweet and Im happy for you.

FransF Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 "Speechless" would be an understatement. Finding so many nice megs is beyond imagination, and surely a dream for every sharktooth-collector! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
