Re: Extreme Collecting

Hi Daryl,

Yes the collecting in Mill is quite extreme, but it is one of the best places in Europe to find sharksteeth in good/perfect condition. This way of collecting is quite save, before people were trying in with the regulair screens, this is much more dangerous because you are getting too close to the stream from the pipe, which also contains big stones or whale bones.

Although it must be very cool to tell people about going down the cliff with a simple rope to hunt for fossils. But do remember this, you maybe think you are only risking your life, but you are also risking that due to your actions a nice fossil location will be shut down and no longer open to all the other collectors, who collect the 'normal' way.

 

Greetings from Norway!

this is your strectcher speaking
Hello Daryl and everybody else who enjoys hunting and collecting for sharkteeth and other fossils, this is my first time on this forum. I read about your reply on Mill collecting and the stretcher. I am the proud owner of that stretcher and i have to say it works well. I have used two years before but without the wheels. This season I made someone give it wheels and it works even better. It is realyy hard labour. But some times youc an find up to 13 (record)teeth in just one sift. The Mill teeth are really nice and especially the I. Escheri from Mill are amazing. Me and my mates(5) will visit this april the 26 South Carolina and we will stay in Summerville in a hotel. We come over to hunt for sharkteeth and stay for almost 14 days. If anyone of you shartkteethcollectors is interested in swopping teeth from Mill (miocene) or Egem(Belgium Eocene 52 million years, small but great quality, please do say so. Maybe we can arrange something. If interested in other fossils please ask maybe we can help. Greetings Bill.
