I'm sure glad Summer is here ! I decided I was going to take a break from surface collecting mainly due to the fact that a few irresponsible fossil hunters have decided to "dig" up trouble in Summerville and I keep coming across new vandalized areas. Anyway... I decided I was going to accompany a few buddies on an out of state diving trip. It was a loooong road trip...but the next day we anxiously hit the water. We knew this river had been hunted to death for many years, but we were going to try anyway. The finds were scarce..., but long story short I did manage to end the trip with a couple of nice teeth..a 3-3/16 inch colorful Megalodon and a Big Principle Benedini at just over 2-11/16 inches with the most intense Red on the display side I have ever seen in a shark tooth. I am definitely one happy diver ! ! !
