First dive this year...and the river gives up a rarity !

So yesterday I decided to hit the river. I grabbed my gear and off I went...upon arrival I saw the current was ripping and yes the water was cold, but I was going to brave the elements in order to get my first dive of the year. I actually only brought one tank since I didn't get to the river until after twelve. Well wouldn't ya know it I get to my dive spot and my tank showed only having 1000 lbs of air. It must have been not closed all the way. Well I was there and suited up so I jumped in determined to find some teeth. Immediately I saw how rough the cold current was as it pushed me downstream a little. Well I made my way to the bottom and started pulling myself along. I spotted some gravel and then some more. A few small teeth and some pottery shards was all I found...so I moved forward checking my air continuously as I was low when I got in. Then I saw a tooth laying upside down on the bottom. I picked it up and though I had a small Meg until I looked closer and saw it was a huge Great White Tooth. I yelled out a woohoo underwater and tucked it away. I was thinking this tooth must be 2-3/4 or so...I surfaced shortly after almost out of air. Once out of the water I measured the tooth....it was over three inches... 3-1/16 inches long by 2 -1/16 inches wide... I couldn't believe it ! This is such an unbelievably rare find for one very happy diver ! ! !
