The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat

This is a combination of fossil hunting trips that my son and I made over two days to one of our favorite Summerville fossil hunting locations. Mere minutes after beginning our hunt, I found an arrowhead and my son found a nice moden tiger shark tooth and a mako. Near the end of our trip that day, I spied the tip of an immense megalodon tooth hanging out of the edge of the creek. Watch as I unearth it with a pocketknife found on one of last year's Edisto river dives! We also found a gigantic washout where the stream had eroded a large amount of gravel, so the second day we screened the bottom of that washout for teeth. It was loaded! What a great two days fossil hunting! For more fossil hunting tales, visit www.blackriverfossils.org

I live on Long Island sir. Off the top of your head, do you know of any areas that are known for these types of finds? Great videos by the way... very very interesting.

@EpicWinNY i don't know of any place to find shark teeth in NY, but there is a place to hunt for Sea Scorpions. If you google Lang's Fossils you should be able to get more information.
