Easter meg anyone?

Remember when you were a kid and grandpa and grandma would hide the eggs on easter sunday? I guess all that practice payed off if your a tooth hunter. Sometimes you just have to be creative on where you search....and how
It all started when I met a guy named Jim down in Aurora last trip. He lives in MD and said he wanted to do some tooth hunting. We met up in the Chesapeake beach area around 11:00am and drove to an undisclosed ... |

This is the best things from last sundays trip and today. Sunday was pretty pittiful except for the tiny meg. Today was looking really bad I only had 5 teeth in my hand and was actully complaining to my friend about how bad the beach was when I looked in the water and saw the mako about to be swept out. HOLY $#!*
I was hoping it was at least 2.5 but its not. I dont like to bring a ruler with me....I guess its kinda a bad luck omen. But anyway Still an awesome find f... |

Its funny how things happen. I had been several times down to the bay and the megs always seemed to be hiding from my watchful eyes. Now I have found three megs on two trips to the bay!!
This was a very average hunt until I found the first meg. A decent 2 1/8" with a good root, sharpe serrations and a very wide bourlette for its size. It was out in the open...easy pickins. ... |

Saturday afternoon, arriving at the beach at full high tide, people everywhere, not many teeth around. I pulled a sweet two inch Meg out of a submerged gravel bank, and a couple smaller Makos, but not much else was found.

Had a good hunt. Any time you can get two pretty rare teeth on one trip you have just got to be happy.
Its been a while since I have found a whole meg on the bay...its 2.5" even and in relatively good shape. I love megs. The cow symphyseal has two chipped serrations...but its got a whole root and so very rare I was still pumped. Its only my second one ever so that was cool. I also... |

Two weeks ago we were heading down to the beach talking about how we havn't found many makos this spring ,well not many i couild put in the case.The tide overnight must have fallen fast leaving the beach covered with shell and fossils. With the beach to ourselves we split up to try to cover as much as possible before someone else wandered along. After four passes down the beach we were still picking up teeth. We covered are lack of makos with two 1 7/8 makos ,six between 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 and over... |

The beach had been pretty well picked over by the time I got there Wednesday afternoon, and although I had scored a sweet Mako, the Megs were nowhere to be seen. I decided to head back in, and call it a day, happy with the nicest Mako that I've found in a while, plus two lowers. I love the curved laterals, and this one was in great condition and good sized at 1-5/8ths. <... |

SATURDAY morning was foggy and muggy. They were calling for temps in the mid 90s and 100% humidity. I think that equels out to feeling something like 136 degrees. The fog blocked the sun until around 2pm. I decided to go kayaking. The beach was crawling with people but I did get to meet bmore for the first time. The best thing there ended up being a squalodon tooth + a few ok makos.....nothing great. And by that... |

Two Bay Hunts

I headed to the beach Saturday, figuring that the weatherman was just kidding when he said something about severe weather. The beach had already been worked pretty hard by the time I got there, so I didn't find much in the way of big teeth, but I did get some sweet Cowshark teeth, including my largest lower symphyseal to date at 11/16ths wide, and my smallest complete lateral at only 7/16ths wide. Unfortunately, I was concentrating so mu... |
