On Wednesday my Grandfather and I went hunting at a friends creek (more of a trickle really) and he found that honking, perfect 2 1/2 inch tooth! The half of the 1 3/4 inch tooth was the largest tooth I'd found yet so we had a great time :) The other three teeth were the 3rd, 4th and 5th place teeth from the hunt.

That Meg. Tooth is in excellent shape.
How's the back?
I'd be down there with a shovel and sifting screen if your not already.

I sadly only go there 2-3 times a year. My uncle and I went back the next day and found a couple nice ones but nothing spectacular. Since its about three hours away from my house I only go there when I visit my grandparents and even then I don't always get to go. I've found a few nice shark teeth there. I'll try to get a picture of the back up later, it's just as pretty if not more :)

Nice tooth, killer quality and color. Get as much as you can out of that creek before someone else does. Congrats!

I know! It's incredible the quality of the tooth! What's cool about the creek is that the whole thing is private property so no one has access except for the family members and close friends (which would be me and my family mostly) so its basically an untapped source!

Wow, lucky you! It's hard to find Megs these days without diving, let alone that quality. If I were you, I would hit that place as much as possible, and you are sure pull a really big guy. It also might be worth it for you to search the area more, to try to find another creek off the property. Where there is one, there is always more.

If I'm anywhere near you..I'll gladly toss my sifter in the truck and give you a ride.. :-)
I would.. but seriously don't tell many people where that is.

Excellent Find! I like it!

I'll even come down and help you do a little looking, but it would be quite a drive for me. Your family's property sounds like an ideal place to not forsake the opportunity it offers. For your sake I would try and visit the property and not just for the artifacts but the time spent with your grandparents. Good Luck!

Actually the property belongs to my grandparents best friends but they let me hunt whenever i get out there, though it was a lot of fun hunting with my grandfather :)

Great looking tooth. Get out there as much as you can with him.

Thx :) I went back a couple months back and got a couple tiny guys, nothing spectacular. Next time i'll score the 8 incher ;)
