my dad's drought is over   Calvert County, Maryland, USA
My Dad, Brother and I took a trip to calvert cliffs from May 17th-20th. On the 17th the day started pretty slow and there seemed to be less teeth on the beach than usual. However I did find a nice mako which is 1.25 inches. My dad told me that he was going to walk down the beach and about 15 minutes later he is standing on one of the falls screaming something. I instantly knew that he found something nice and when I saw what he found I couldn't believe it. A 3.25 inch posterior meg! Jus...
6/5/09   Calvert County, Maryland, USA
This is an old trip from last friday.  I ventured to the beach on the way home.  I had high hopes that were quickly dashed once I saw how high the tide was.  The wind was blowing in hard and the water was up a lot.  The waves were making booming noises as they crashed against the cliffs.  Far from ideal conditions, but I decided to make a go for it.  I made my way down the beach not finding too much just small teeth here and there.  ...

It was a good two days for me.  I went to the beach and scored another meg.  Much like the one from my last trip report, this meg is far from perfect.  The root is pretty beat up.  But I'll take it.  I also found a curious rock... as evidenced by the first picture.  I picked up a nice little hemi and 3/4 of a mako as well.  Good luck everybody.

I managed to take in a trip to the beach on Monday afternoon.  I found my biggest meg in a while.  It's ~2.5 not huge by any means but not tiny either.  I also found a couple nice hemi's and a sand tiger.  After a couple hours I made my way off the beach.  Overall, it was a pretty sucessful hunt.

Two days,   Calvert County, Maryland, USA
This report is a combination of two trips to the beach.  Prior to the first trip we had been having a decent amount of rain, so I decided to see what was out there.  The tide wasn't fully cooperating, but I managed a small meg with a busted tip.  Once I had made my way back in I noticed that a piece of the root had broken off while I was almost to my car.  When I got home I glued the piece of root back to the tooth.  It's not perfect but it's better t...

I took a quick trip to the beach this afternoon.  The tide was supposed to be low at 4:30 pm.  When I got there the water was up pretty high.  So it was far from ideal but I did ok.  I found a beautiful colored cow shark tooth.  I think I found a scute of some sort on the way out.  If so it's my first one.

Good Weekend   Calvert County, Maryland, USA

It was a good weekend. Nice and hot. I started early Saturday morning with a 2.5 inch on the beach and a nice small posterior in the water. The winds had been blowing for about 12hours but not long enough to make a serious difference in water level. Just keeping it calm.

     I then went to another local beach to see what conditions were like there. The tide was about the same, definitely more people on this one. I wasn't having m...

Silver and teeth   Calvert County, Maryland, USA

(1)

Being that my Internet has been down for about 2 weeks now I haven't had time to post this trip. It started with some scattered showers at work. Despite the weather I wanted to try my luck at the beach. It had been almost a month since my last trip and I was hoping something new fell. Johnny met me in the parking lot and we walked down. We were finding some ordinary stuff when I noticed a new fall. Not to big but perfect size. All the RIGHT  mat...

3/24/09   Calvert County, Maryland, USA
Hit the beach on the way home again.  Conditions were far from ideal but it was a good day.  I found my first squalodon tooth, which is in good shape.  I found three megs with busted tips and a couple nice hemis.

3/23/09   Calvert County, Maryland, USA
I decided to hit up the beach on my way home from work on monday.  It ended up being a pretty decent trip.  I was finding the normal stuff in the surf when I saw what looked like a bit of a root sticking out.  I bent down and pulled out a sweet posterior meg.  Later I found a beautiful mako.
