Giant Sharks Tooth🦈

in #adventure9 years ago

I have a friend in a small town not far from me who is also a treasure hunter. He is more more adept at hunting then most. He finds most of his treasure in or near bodies of water.

One day we stopped by on a walk to look at the enormous old oak standing just outside his home. He saw us and we began discussing treasure hunting adventures. He has all types of relics in his collection including mammoth teeth, paleo tools and animal bones.

He went inside his home and emerged with this giant ancient sharks tooth! He never discloses the locations of his hunting and I can understand why. So I don't even ask.🐓

Awesome megalodon tooth! how amazing it must have been to find that!!

Isn't it amazing! I would faint if a find like that appeared on my hunts. Maybe I should consider going in the water😉🐓

wowo, the food looks delicious, the pictures are so nice.

Nice. I found a similar one in size in AMELIA Island, just a little more fossilized.
Good job!

Nice! I"ll have to come visit and see what I can find😉🐓

I've found some pretty good ones around there too! I have some friends around that area who found one like this at a place they called Jekyll Island...it's supposed to be right near there.

I love collecting shark's teeth! There's always so much excitement when you find one! We found a lot of big ones around Casey Key. I don't know if that's around your part of Florida, but if you like hunting shark's teeth, that place is a treasure trove!

Thanks for the tip and for stopping to look. 🐓

Holy Comoley! Glad those guys aren't sinking in our waters any more. An impressive find by your friend 😊

That tooth is worth quite a bit of steem. I dared not drop it. Such an interesting young man, so passionate about his work. Jaws is just a comic adventure by comparison! 🐓🐓

I'll bet - it looks like a museum piece. He sounds like an interesting person to write more about :-)

Have watched this young man grow up from being a quirkie teen. He has a beautiful mind and a passion so rare that he is absolutely mesmerizing. He is a bit of a recluse. So catching him in a moment is the hard part. Will keep him in mind should he appear. Good idea my friend. 🐓🐓 Ellie ma

P.S.
I don't much care for this darned machine trying to take the words right out of my mouth. Ellie Mae 🐓🐓

You tell that darned machine!

WOW!!! I love everything about the megalodon and I like to think there's a possibility they still exist down in the deepest trenches of the ocean...yeah probably a false hope but oh well - it's my dream lol. The little shark teeth I found yesterday pale in comparison but still they were neat to find and should make some nice necklaces. Thanks for pointing me to this post - it was interesting and fascinating to see people still finding these ancient clues to what was probably the planets top aquatic predator of all time.

Here in FloridaI have found small sharks teeth just in the sandy fields after being plowed. Your idea is not so far fetched. There may still be a few lurking in the depths of the oceans. 🐓🐓
