Return to a favorite spot...

Well Sunday it was cooler and upon getting no takers from fellow diggers to hunt megs with me I was off on my own. I had a feeling on the drive to one of my favorite dig spots that I was going to find something. You know the kind ! Anyway upon arriving I noticed the rain had caused an embankment to collapse. I was thinking hmmm most of the hard work was already done and I dove in with my shovel. Thirty minutes later after hitting a whale bone and pulling it out of the layer a triangle shape dropped in front of me. It looked so much like a tooth...I was chanting in my head.. don't be another bone and then picking it up I knew it was a meg and fully serrated too. That is a rarity for Summerville megalodon teeth as a majority of them have faint serrations or none at all. Anyway at almost 5 inches I am one happy digger !
