Cooper River, South Carolina dive

Back in May me and some dive buddies went to the Cooper River in South Carolina to hunt for Meg teeth. Below is a photo of what I found. It also includes a piece of bone from some prehistoric land animal I have not been able to ID, but it is about, per the guide, 2 million years old. I also found a small piece of pottery dated to around the 1700's. Great fun!!!

I agree...I think I was more excited to find the bone and pottery than the teeth. I still want to ID that bone at some point.

Not positive, but look at pics of whale earbones. I found a number of those in some of the deeper holes in the cooper river. I was told they were whale ear bones. If I'm incorrect, please let me know through your research.

I just dove with Johnny from Cooper River Dive Charters - CooperRiverDiving.Com . Great boat, great Captain (Johnny), vis seemed better than my previous dives there maybe cause I was used to it already.. He has some great dive spots always drops us down where the teeth are. There were a bunch of great people on the trip and I think they all did very well and had a great time. Noone went home empty handed. I saw alot of nice teeth, fossils, and other interesting Archeological pieces come up out if the water. (Including 3 nice really old hand made bricks that I swam up with). I will post some pictures tommorrow of all of my finds. Take care all and if you are thinking about diving the Cooper don't think about it..Just DO IT! It's an experience you will never forget and will long to go back...Till I post the pics. Take care.
