Nicest over 6" tooth tooth I have found in years. For comparison only about ten un-restored 7" teeth have ever been found and most are in really rough condition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How deep was it sitting - was it embedded in mud and stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The water was 49 degrees so I was really cold but the visibility was good. I dove about an hour and was not finding anything good. I had on really thick gloves so it is hard to feel anything. I still dig and dug up a 4-1/2" pretty nice tooth and thought at least that is something. Then I saw a second one. As the currents rush through they wear out the bank and expose new fossils but I have hit this area pretty hard over the last few months. With two teeth I knew it was a recently exposed area and I pulled out a reel and started to run a line so I could find the area easier later. About ten feet away it was completely exposed and I screamed like a little girl. I usually do not get that excited but man I knew it was an incredible tooth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was on the boat I showed a photo to a friend that likes these and is pretty successful in business. He wanted to buy it. I said I did not know I really wanted to keep it awhile but he threw a number out that was 20% higher than retail so I could not refuse. I do not want to jinx it plus I do not want to tell his business. Plus it might seem like bragging and we don't do that here at the Geek Club. Also he has not paid yet and I am happy to hold it awhile if he changes his mind. But he asked for all the photos of me holding the tooth si he could keep them with it so I think he will. I have one that is 6.92" long and perfect that I kept so I did not mind letting this one go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
