The spring rains have been doing good things for our favorite creek, unlike the residents. The weezling and I started finding teeth right away. The water level got really high and really moved around some gravel to expose some teeth for us. In one newer washout I found two shamer angustidens. Both would have been superb if not for horrendous feeding damage. Down at the end of the ditch I spied a complete great white completely exposed. I could tell it was worn, but the root is whole and...

It had rained 2 inches the day before and everything looked as though it should be a great day of collecting. 20 minutes into the hunt I found a nice little Chub just sticking out of a freshly eroded gully. A short while later while searching into another washout I spotted a root lobe and some serrations! As I stepped  down into the ditch I started my please be whole chant. It worked!! It was complete and was my biggest Meg ever at 4 1/8". I was in full gravy mo...

This was the first ric that I found and it sure is a beauty.

The wife and I decided to hit up one of our olds spots last weekend since there has been so much rain we thought it may have washed out some teeth.  We were right!!!!!  It seemed like the teeth never stopped.  We didn’t get any good Megs but we did score quit a few rics.  We both also found a horse tooth.  And I found my first scute at this site.  Not sure if it’s a ray or croc scute ...

When I found this tooth I definitely did a victory dance, which is dancing happily like a fool in circles around the tooth. I could tell it had to be at least 3 inches when I picked it up. The 2 15/16 inch mako I found in Summerville a few years ago had to step down from the throne. Now I have a new king to add to my mako collection that has earned his rightful place at 3 1/16 inches.

I dug this one out at the end of the day before making my way to the ramp to exit the pit. A sweet gem from the yorktown.

The best premolar squalodon tooth I've found to date.

I would have posted this trip earlier if my old camera didn’t die on me while I was collecting in the pit! I had high hopes for this trip after hearing about all the rain that PCS had received. I believe my mojo for this trip came from a fortune cookie that I received after eating Chinese for lunch the day before that said, “Good luck bestows upon you. You will get what your heart desires.” I’ve always wanted to f...

  My 2 month old daughter woke me up at 3:30 this morning, and after finally getting her back to sleep, I couldn’t get back to sleep myself. Well, as long as I’m up, I may as well hit the beach! I got there before sunrise, about 6:15 am, and still wasn’t the first one there!  It was about 4 hours before low tide, though, and I knew that teeth would be washing out with every wave, so I wasn't worried about the other hunter.

Check out the colors on this one.

Last weekend I spent about 5 hours on a beach…About 2.5 hours on sat and sun.  I had a total disregard for time of day, tides, and winds all weekend. Didn’t check any weather reports I just thought the beach would produce something.

  The outlook for Saturday"s hunt at PCS with the BRFC crew couldn't have been better.  There had been two heavy rains since the pit was last hunted.  I just knew that the hunting would be awesome! 

The hunting was as good as I had hoped, but the finding was where I suffered.  It seemed that everything I picked up had major damage.  I was seeing serrated edges everywhere, but e...

This past Saturday was the BRFC Aurora trip that my wife kicked my butt in.  Not so on Sunday though.  We decided to hit one of our spots that we haven’t hit up for awhile.  With all the rain we have had in the past few weeks w...

First I would like to thank Ditchweezil for allowing myself and my wife to be able to hunt with BRFC.  This year couldn’t have had a better timing with not one, but two different days of rain in between the last group in and us going in.  Also I would like to thank PCS and the...

As just about anyone who goes to Lee Creek what they would most like to find and they'll probably say a megalodon tooth. I'm no different. I'll jump on that bandwagon. Megalodon teeth are cool, and among megalodons, those from Lee Creek measure up nicely when compared to specimens found anywhere else in the world.

I'll never forget finding this meg tooth as long as I live. The Lee C...

This Lee Creek mako is so sharp you could shave with it. Only use a scent you're prepared to live with though, because the root really soaks it up.

Having had several weeks to ponder my poor showing during the Friends of the Museum Hunt at PCS a few weeks ago, I place the blame solely on the shoulders of mojo and how I lost it. I have concluded that it wasn't through a lack of mexican feast, it was because of my tools. I learned on wikipedia that mojo can only reside in qualified items - aka, not fresh off the shelf. Last PCS trip, I used a new rake with ...

Ground shot of nice lower cow shark tooth.

This tooth was sitting in a ditch 12 " above the water line after a heavy rain and I was lucky enough to be the first one by to pick it up. The growth lines show really well on the enamel.

This trip into Aurora is from this past Sunday 3/09/08. I think the coolest find from this trip was the partial whale jaw, but the caps of the teeth were broken off when I found it. I carefully searched the hill for a skull or any l...

A killer Chandler Bridge Angustidens.

  These teeth are from two trips to the Bay this week.  On Wednesday, the forecast sounded good for a blowout tide, so I headed out around noon for the afternoon low, but the blowout didn't happen.  I didn't find a whole lot, but I did get my largest Bay Mako to date.  It's missing a root lobe, and the tip is chipped, but it still measures just over 2 inches. 

  I had much better luck yester...

This is the Prettiest Great White that I have ever found.  I just wish that there was a bunch of them at this site.

This was another fun road trip with Da f0ssz to North Carolina. We met up with Brsr0131 to go hunt at a quarry. I was excited to be able to hunt on new toothing grounds in another local. I had a fantastic day and I kept flipping t...

For the past few weeks I have been hitting up the Aurora spoil piles trying to find the smaller teeth that you hardly ever come out on trip days into the actual mine.  I also wanted to say to the people that don’t make it into the mine or miss there day due to weather that there is still some hope with the spoil piles.  The teeth...
