Not a Bad Start to the New Year!!!!Well I haven't been around so much but I have been doing some exploring lately now that I have a boat. My whole world has just tripled with where I can go fossil hunting. Even though I have the boat I decided to hit one of my favorite spots along the river on January 3rd since I had the day off from work. This day was going to be a real good blow out and I really wanted to go to the bay but I knew that the boat wouldn't be able to handle waves like that. Boy am I glad that I didn't.... Well to start the day I started to walk the beach and wasn't finding that much. I must have walked between 2-3 miles with nothing but a couple small teeth. So I decided to turn around and make the long walk back. I must have walked about 100 yards back and I looked at the cliff to see if there was anything sticking out. Then I saw the blade of a decent sized tooth. I looked at it for a second and thought it was a Mako but I started to second guess myself because I could see the hook to the blade. Could it be? So I made my way closer and realized what it was that I found. My first Giant Thresher and it looked like it was going to be perfect. I crossed my fingers and prayed that it was the whole time I was preparing to take it out of its resting spot. To my surprise it was just about perfect and my day was made. I continued to make my way to my vehicle and started to find more teeth but I couldn't keep my mind off of the Giant Thresher that I had found. One other thing that was neat was I found the other half of a tooth that I found almost 2 years ago and the two halves actually matched. That is why I always keep all my halves. Overall not a bad start the the New Year and hopefully it continues to be just like this or better.
