Did four dives Sat. at S. Brohard
Thedaddy was out there for a couple dives too.
He found a couple mammoth teeth and what could be a sabertooth tiger fang.

Capt Jamie strikes again! - Put us on some great areas today - lots of nice megs found - as well as some whale ear bones - fossil scallops - some nice hemis and other teeth as well. Overall a nice day!

Well I'm going to try to get in the water sat or sun.... Everyone has had such good dives lately that I'm jealous!
I'm disappointed, but the tooth appears to be a toothed whale fossil from comparing to pictures. I kind of figured that as soon as I saw pics of a sabre cat tooth, but I was hoping. When I saw the difference between the two pics, I was pretty sure it was a whale tooth. If anyone else wants to take a look, it's in the upper left corner of the photo. Not that great a picture - there are concentric rings around the upper portion of the tooth (growth rings or where it was bonded to jawbone?) and also the tip has some apparent cleaving where it looks like the outer layer broke away from the side. I'd have to see specimen in good shape to tell how poor shape this one is in, but it definitely has some scars. Any opinions appreciated.

Found these Saturday. I've decided not pickup any more mammoth partials. Took about 15 minutes to dig the largest mammoth tooth out of the clay. Got a lot of cleaning to do now. Kinda like fishin...love catchin em but hate cleanin em.
Met up with Get-R-Dun's group earlier in the day at Spanish Rocks. Viz was about 15 ft at both locations.

I bet that was fun getting all that out of the gulf!!!
Hello everyone, I'm here asking for some help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Capt Gumby left a post on here looking for some divers to dive with him. He has not been able to hook up with anyone as of yet. My cell phone number is 941-628-3309. He tried to book charters but they are all booked for this week. I work during the week. Capt Gumby is in the service and would like to find some teeth before he LEAVES FLORIDA. He will not be returning to the area. Please some of you I know dive on weekdays, lets get this guy in the water, we dont want him diving alone. I spoke to him several times today to try to do a dive but my work schedule seems to be messing things up. You can pm him or call me on my cell and I will give you his cell phone number. Lets all pull together and get him out there to find some teeth before he leaves. You can call me on my cell phone from 6am to 10 pm at night. Lets show him what a great bunch of people we are. All help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
