This is a little early for this info...but better to start now. This fall my family and I are taking a vacation to Disney World. This is sure to be fun...and my 4 year old is going to love meeting Mickey, but this is MY vacation as well. That means that a fossil hunt will most certainly be in order...after all we are in Florida!
I was wondering if the Florida hunters could point me in the right direction of some streams, mines, etc that would give me good chance at a 5" meg. No seriously...not your honey hole, but I think the peace river is relatively close by. I am not a diver. I would be willing to make a sifter and buy a shovel if need be or just surface hunt. Any locations, techniques, or any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks Chris
FossilMick do you still have that meg from Lee Creek in your hand?? Are you dive certified? I would love to do that...but the wife might have other ideas. I was thinking about bringing my snorkel gear for some of the rivers down there. Might be worth it to pack??
If you have never dove venice i would make an attempt to if i was you... It's a simple begginers dive other than the occasional low vis. Certification can be done in one weekend or some night classes. If you decide to do venice let me know!
The peace rivers has hundreds and hundreds of canoes every week so i have had a heckofa time finding good hunting.
I might try to get certified...I have been kicking around that for a little while. What kind of depts are you talking about at Venice beach?? One other possibility is other, lesser known rivers that might produce or perhaps a phosphate mine...do any allow trips like Aurora??
If you want I would be more than happy to meet up with you on the Peace river and take you out. I have the whole set up and all you would have to bring is yourself. I do have a non disclousure clause on a few spots that you would have to sign , but you can keep all the megs from them.
When are you planning your trip?

This is a great post, cause I was just planning the same trip with my family and I know Im not going to Flordia without fossil hunting. The Peace river is calling my name. Steve, im heading your way and im taking you up on your offer. The plans are not set in stone right now. I have to find me a Meg of some size before I die, and between SC and FL I guess I have a shot.
Steve, check your doorstep around tuesday or wed, I finally got your stuff sent.
