Beats watching T.V.

I hit my favorite beach the other day only to find that I was probably the third person to go down it.  Luckly for me the tide was still going out and the conditions seemed to be getting better by the minute.

This beach is my favorite because if you really look close and take your time you can find a great variety of treasures, even being "third up to bat".

The water was fairly clear, for this time of year, and I was able to find a real nice porpoise tooth that was just dancing in the waves.  Not the biggest ever,  but in great shape.  Also found two ear bones, one being good sized and in good shape.  Some other high lights are the cow teeth.  One in particular was whole and in pretty fair condition.

Last are the meg fragments.  Five in one trip is pretty good for any part of the bay.  Its also kind of frustrating.  They are here, and I feel that I am looking in the right places for them, I just wish the bay wasn't so hard on these bigger teeth.  Its like an all or nothing thing.  From what I have seen when someone does find a whole tooth from the bay it can be in amazing shape, not like some of the river worn teeth,  but finding one whole is the trick!  Good hunting Chris
