3 5/8" Megalodon Shark Tooth

All I can say about this tooth is WOW! It’s the first meg I have ever found of this exquisite color. Its nearly white and in relatively good shape - no major damage anywhere, nice root, visable serrations, no enamel peel. This one has a cool story - to me anyway. My brother and I went to lunch today, and we got done in like 30 minutes. I have an hour for lunch, and I knew that J of the Golden Shovel would be out at the forbidden pond digging, so we thought we would go say hi and see if they were doing any work. J was there, but he hadn't had any luck digging yet. We shot the breeze for a little while, and then it was time to go. On the way back to the truck, I noticed that there was all kinds of new dirt on the ground. It must have fallen off the dump trucks as they carried away the pond dirt. This beauty was just laying there all by itself! All my brother could say was "you suck". J of the Golden shovel said he hated me. Its tough not to feel the love in this hobby!
