Hi Bob.  With limited time for the hobby, I've only gone shark tooth hunting a few times lately.  Last Friday though, my coworker showed me how to get to a place on the Potomac River near where he grew up.  He said there's a huge pile of oyster shells on top of the bank.  He knows people haver found artifacts there, but wasn't sure if they had to dig for them or what.  I'm going to try to check it out over the next few weeks.  The farmer's fields that I checked out a few weeks ago have been plowed and planted - no more walking on them.  There's also a nice crick behind my coworkers house in Southern MD, but he said this time of the year the woods along the crick are loaded with ticks - so I think I might wait to try that until cooler weather when there aren't so many leafy trees and bushes to walk through.

Daryl.
