Hello Tnet members!

I managed to get out for a hunt with some friends a couple days ago. Lots of rain here in Florida means the rivers are flooded, but the creek hunting is good. We managed to find a new spot that hasn't been hunted before and pulled some very nice fossils out. If you're interested in the video, here it is:



If you're not interested in watching the video, here's a bunch of the finds (but not all):

Here's where I doubled up with 2 megalodon teeth in the same screen, nearly touching one another!

Hope you enjoy!

Man you killed it those are some awesome finds ..... I go every summer to a cabin here in Maryland (Calvert cliffs) and hunt for them but the big ones are few and far between. That’s a great spot you found .... keep an eye out for arrowheads too

Really cool, impressive finds! I get so focused on finding things with my detector, I forget that there is a whole universe of other non-metallic things to discover! Congrats!

Looks like you got bitten while hunting in the creek... sorry Cris, I couldn't resist! :laughing9:

Very cool prehistoric teeth, be careful the next time you wade into the creek though. :laughing7:

My brother was working somewhere down in Los Angeles up on a hill and he was finding shark teeth all over the jobsite.The area must have been pushed up during a quake at sometime.
