This was probably one of my best weekends in a long time. I spent several hours on the beach. I finally got caught up at work, and my company’s projects seem to be moving right along. Life is Good!

This is the problem with not posting what you find immediately… you forget what happened!! Sorry DW.  In my defense I’ve been REALLY busy with working full time and running my own company Governale Innovations, Inc. The reason I mention my company is because I’m sure some of you may wonder what the hell Govinn means… It’s short for my company name… now you know (an...

Hit the beach early this morning. Didn't find much but the weather made up for it.  Good times.

This is my first post and only my 4th time huntinig for fossil shark teeth so bare with me. Even though I have only been shark tooth hunting a few times it has developed into both an addiciton and a deep passion that will stay within me as long as i am still breathing and able to make it down to the beach to soak in the unique experience of discovering fossils in earths present geological exsistence.

Location: ummm, ...

I was informed by my better half that we had a birthday party to go to in VA this past weekend. She saw it as an opportunity to spend some time with old friends, and I saw it as another opporuntiy to hit the beach.

I read in a thread that shark teeth glow under UV light. I just HAD to conduct this experiment!! So, I went out and bought a battery-powered UV light. I had to travel a long way to find one, but it was worth it. They didn't have a spare bulb so I bought a...

Today I met up with Sawblade for a early morning hunt. The weather was great and the teeth where plenliful. Sawblade found the nicest tooth of the day, It was a little chipped up but still a great mako. I'm heading out to the Potomac early tomorrorw to take advantage of this full moon tide. I hope the storm we had last week kicked up the beach a bit. Thanks for checking in. Jake

Heres the fish teeth pic

I found these a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure what they were, I thought they where pretty cool so I put them in my pocket. I sent the pics over to another BRF member and he told me they where dermal scutes from a stingray. Mystery solved with a little help from my friends. It's nice to have so many experienced collectors just a click away. I have a lot to learn when it comes to fossil identification. So if I ever post a pic of a rock just smile and nod, I'll figure it o...

Quick trip Surry style. Found a nice tiger and some swag. Cold today need to get some gloves. High tide headed home. DBTB.

I had off today and hit the beach around noon. It was windy and cold with flurries on and off. The dog and I walked and walked in search of one nice tooth. I found a few teeth but the tide was coming in fast. Feet and hands numb I trudged down the beach. Then I saw it lying in some shells at the edge of the waves. I remember saying out loud "that’s awesome" and snatching it up. Having forgotten all about my cold hands ...

As promised in my last post I hit the beach early this morning. Pulling up to the James River on a cold drizzly day, I put on my boots and rain gear and started down the beach. The tide was high and the water was calm. There was fog on the James and a Cost Guard cutter shrouded in mis...

Today I took a quick trip out to the York River. I don't hunt there often because I rarely find much, I think my record up to this point was two in a trip, with a skunk or two in between. This is the most teeth I've found in the York in one day. My father used to find some really nice ones out here but I'm not sure where. Thats what keeps me coming out here. I know they're  there, I just have to keep looking. 

I hit the beach early this morning hopeing to find some scraps worked up from the storm we had the other day. It looks like someone beat me to it. I didn't find much execpt for a nice Hemi and a busted Meg.

I got a tip about a new spot out in  JC Co. I'm going Monday so...    we will see.

Quick trip to the James. I found a few teeth, dog found a dead catfish to roll in. Good times.

When bad dog and I got to the beach today, the tide was low and the weather was mild and breezy.  I wasn't finding much, but at least I brought a camera and was able to get a few good pictures:  Two ground shots of some sand tigers and a picture of the scallop shells that cover the beaches around here.  No wonder it's our state fossil. 

The black mako was in perfect shape. Sorry I don't have a better picture of it, I lost the tooth before I could make this post. Luckily I snapped a shot on my phone when I found it.  

As promised bright and early I hit the beach. The plan was to do a little hunting out in Surry then cross the James River to the James city county side. When I got to Surry the river was just as swollen as it was Sunday and it was starting to rain, so I grabbed my rain gear out o...

James city county day trip.

Today I had off and was looking forward to hitting the beach. I 've been having some car problems latley so I decided to stick closer to home and not drive out to Surry. The last few trips , I have been going to the York river or my side of the James. Today I hit the James from the James city side. The weather was stormy and the water was rough which made for a tough kayak ride but at least it wasn't hot. When I got to t...

High tide Surry side.

It all started about 6 months ago when my girlfriend asked me if I wanted to play softball for her company team this summer.  I said Sure, why not? and didn't give it much thought.  When the season finally began, I found out they had plenty of players on the team and probably wouldn't need me.  That was fine with me because I really didn't care whether or not I played.  I just told them to call me if they needed someone. 

A hot day down by the banks in James City County.

It’s been storming all weekend and finally I got a brake. I drove out to Surry County after work with only an hour of light hoping to catch the tide. ...

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...

I found these the other day and couldn't figure out what thay where. I had found similar ones before but just thought thay where rocks and tossed them back in the river. Thanks to some help from another BRF member these have been ID as internal molds from a bivalve. Thanks guys

I still haven't figured out what type of tooth this is I found on 4/1. If anyone can help me identify it  I would appreciate it.Thanks
