5/3/08   Surry County, Virginia, USA

Today I hit two beaches. The first about a hour before low tide and the second at low tide. I had a pretty good day, the weather was great and the teeth just kept on coming. I found a 1'' Hemi in realy good shape and two nice Mako. I found the blonde Mako when I was walking back from the second beach, I was climbing over a fallen tree and when I was jumping down I thought I saw a tooth under me. Sure enough I picked up my foot and there it was looking as suprised as me.

Today I picked up a friend and we headed out to Isle of Wight County in search of Indian artifacts.  I have never had much luck finding relics, but he knows a few spots and has quite a nice collection.  We had a little time to kill before low tide, so we went out to one of my spots to look for some teeth.  We weren't finding much, the tide was really high and the storm we had this weekend washed a lot of the sand out along the shore.  I found...

Hollow Mako tooth.   Surry County, Virginia, USA

Found a broken spear head....
4/20/08   Surry County, Virginia, USA

Today I got up and headed out to Surry.  Low tide was at seven and hopefully the storm last night it had kicked a few teeth up.  The hunt started off great, as soon as I got there I found a 1.5'' Sand Tiger tooth.  It wound up being the best one of the day.  The snaggle tooth with the root damage came in a close second - it is solid black with well intact serrations.  I was picking up little teeth ...
