Re: Lee Creek panic

Hi Folks,

I never have been to the PCS-mine , but when I see pictures of people collecting there, then I see the people walking around looking for teeth. Here in Europe we most of the time have to dig to get to the fossils. This is because we don't have these large locations were you can just wander around looking for fossils on the surface. Now I was wondering would digging be very lucrative in the PCS-mine, or do you have the best changes to keep on walking

 

Greetings,

 

Martijn

Re: Lee Creek panic

Most people walk around and surface collect because the area is so large, but when the area is small or very picked over, people do dig. Sometimes it is productive. I have only found one megalodon tooth digging there, but I have also found makos, modern tigers, bulls, and numerous bones. One day I was in last spring, a guy dig up 3 very nice megalodon teeth on the same day from the same hill.

When I surface collect, I always dig a good area when I find one. I took down a clump of whale bone laden Yorktown the size of a Volkswagon on my last trip in.

Re: Lee Creek panic

Chimp,

I'd say you did a good job in Raleigh.  We're getting rain right now!  Not sure about the mine.

 

Good luck Sat.

Re: Lee Creek panic
I think the total may have been from 1/4-1/3" .  That's probably not enough to help.  I may see you Sunday, I'm not sure yet. Happy Hunting!

Re: Lee Creek panic

Soooo.... looks like rain Sunday. Based on the reports off elasmo.com I think thats a good thing, right? If its just rain with no lightning we are good to go in the mine, right? How much rain does it take to start uncovering teeth and I assume its best to just surface collect paying close attention to the gulleys cut by the rain, right?

 

I am just getting fired up and wondering what some of the Lee Creek Veterans would do based on the current conditions. Aside, of course, from not telling any rookies their secrets.
