So glad these fossils were found by someone as skilled and knowledgeable as yourself. It feels better to know they are being respectfully treated and in good hands, and not just deteriorating into oblivion and unable to be appreciated.
@youtubeaccount1050 yeah lets never learn about anything ever. Why are we fuelling machines with dead dinos and flying in space? Surely thats not natures way.
You guys are so lucky you have found your passion at such a young age. I'm 65 and I really enjoy your video's. I retire in 13 months. I hope to see you at one of the dig sites!
I'm a 53 year old woman who still thinks I'm 20. You boys are living the dream. I could do what you do all day long. My bucket list is fossils like yours and megaladon teeth. You lucky dogs, what adventures you get to experience!!! So jealous but happy for you!
What a crazy dichotomy between the danger of swimming solo w giant predators and the mind numbing repetitiveness of cleaning and preserving! So cool. I'm way impressed.
Brave or dumb? When I lived in Florida a guy was eaten & killed by an alligator. He went to the store & bought 2 6 packs & decided to cut across a small body of water with a 6 pack in each hand.
Thank you Johnathan for such a well made video. It is highly entertaining and educational to get a glimpse into the process like this. It's not all about just finding something and sticking it in a case. Keep up the good work!
This has to be the best one of your vids I have seen. It was amazing watching from the time you found it until it was restored. Thank you so much for making your content!
That is so incredibly cool that you guys managed to save what you did from that animal. Congrats. I do have to say, as a connoisseur of sarcasm, Joe cracks me up!
This is an absolutely gorgeous and incredible find! I loved watching the conservation process too! I had no idea that it was so labour intensive at times, certainly a labour of love. Thank you so much for sharing the process and end result!
Yooo!! So glad we finally got to see this discovery the whole way through (been anticipating the restoration part for a while). Congrats on this awesome find. Also, really liked the format of this video with the narration and using the “Dig This” bumpers again.
Amazing job! So crazy to think of all the hours between discovery, removal, travel, restoration etc! Hope you guys find many many more specimens and save it for future people to enjoy!
I don't know exactly where are you located but I remember you mentioned Florida. I hope that you are safe, and that all Florida residents recover soon from Ian's tragedy. Thank you for your content, I really love it 🌿💌
This was sooo interesting. Ancient life-forms are fascinating, and it does help to see how you are preserving them. So much work and it's much appreciated! There must be some parts of ancient dinodaurs that are in the DNA of life on Earth now. Another aspect for me, as a believer in reincarnation, is that our souls have lived right through from the early forms of life on Earth to the present day, not just humans, but the animals too, as we once were, all gaining knowledge and different experiences in each life-rime.
Wow what a find, very interesting video all the phases well documented: discover, recover, cleaning and finally restore all the parts...awesome team job!!!
Such an awesome video Johnathan!!! I love the amount of detail and all the knowledge you shared with us! I've yet to find any whole mammoth or mastodon teeth, but I'm looking forward to getting back out once the rivers drop to do more searching! Also, I truly enjoy learning so much from you and Joe! And I bet there is a lot more to be found in that hole! Keep up the amazing work as always!!!
I was so excited for this video and very highly anticipated I was wondering why it was taking so long for the upload and now I know why absolutely amazing
Riveting! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Great job explaining the processes as you painstakingly executed each one. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
Would a small airbrush be helpful for cleaning what you find. They have completely adjustable air flow and I think they might be great to get sand and dirt off🤷♂️ Love the videos man, I can’t wait to see what’s next!!!
Wow! You really hit the fossil jackpot! I knew what it was as soon as you picked it up! Even I got excited! The SCP (secure, contain, protect) procedure was very well video documented. SCP of ancient history is priceless. This find is worthy of its own number, maybe SCP 001.
Y'all done fantastic work, I never knew how you preserve all this. I'm 64 and very interested in learning more about our history and I'm looking forward to your next find. I live in southern Louisiana and I tried looking for bones and such and between the gators and snake bit here in the swamps I'll stick to underwater metal detecting in the Gulf. Thank you for sharing and I'm all about learning what y'all do. Please stay safe
I just subscribed to your channel after watching this crazy video! In my culture we say mazel tov- congrats to a job well done! From discovery to preparation, I was astonished to see how you were able to preserve something that was in such a delicate condition. I dream of the day I can do this. I am also curious about your diving equipment… what kind of air supply system do you use? I’ve never seen anything like it and while I love scuba diving on tanks, this seems much more well-suited to lacustrine fossil collection and I want to know more! But all in all this was exceptional!!!!!
Wow I'm so jealous man! I love watching your videos. I live in Finland myself and as some might know, the ice sheet's completely flatted out this country when they slided across the earth so there are practically no fossils at all in the whole country. The only animal fossils discovered in Finland from the last ice age that I know of off the top of my head are 11 mammoth fossils (4 teeth I think) and a single partial deinotherium fossil which was dated at 5 ~million years. It's really sad.. I study biology myself and I collect bones myself, and fossils - which I have to buy or find in another country...
See, my wife and I have talked about what other countries we would live in, but almost nowhere else beats the US in terms of public fossil hunting! Really glad you are still enjoying the hobby in whatever capacity you can! Who knows maybe you'll have one of our fossils one day!
That sucks. . Paying for wives and or some girlfiend’$. Is one requirement living in a hell how like Finnish lande. X. But having to pay for old dirty bones. ??. Just sukz
Love your videos. Fellow fossil hunter and rock hunter . My areas are alligator free . When I was in high school I helped on a archeology dig for a mastodon in spring creek Nevada . Still blows my mind how wide spread these critters are
I accidently came across your channel while I was searching for Sam Smiths Unholy song lyric. I know right? How? I don't even know why your channel was there but I am so glad it was. This was incredible, I love fossil hunting I have a video posted here but don't really know if its fossil lmao, so I stopped making videos about it. Thank you John and Joe I learned so much. I'll probably go back fossil hunting again. Thank you and be safe always on your adventures!🥳
Jonathon thank you for all that you do! I hope the job in GA is going well.... Your work reminds me of lapidary trying to use a diamond saw blade wet grinding and wet sanding to shape the agates or stones to the desired shape and bevel... I remember rushing one Brazil agate and got a heat fracture which made it turn milky in color...
Amazing video! Love what you all do, I wish I could join you all out there somehow. The fossil scene here in the Ohio River Valley, is quite lackluster.
To discover this sunken bone treasure has enriched your life immeasurably….so well done…patience and knowing with the skills that bring these valuable remains for many to study..thanks for sharing..
Love your Chanel .great info! Thank you. My grandson is 5 and he is gifted and knows so much about dinosaurs and the names and what makes the difference between one's that look kinda alike. He amazes me.jaw droppings for a 5 year old. So wish you could spend time with him so day.we live in Titusville Florida . Wish I was in better health and younger and could go hunting with you. But fighting cancer for the 3rd time has taken it out of me and in my 60s now.just grateful to still be alive to share with him what I know. Would love any advice on books or anything to help him on his way to know the things you know. Yes he is young but has a passion for it like I've never seen in a kid that young. Started about 3 years old. Anyway, thanks for doing what you do and being you.God bless you and angels over you as you explore. 💓
You guys are so? I don't know what the hey the word is, but, this ever so dang cool man! God Bless you and all your'e efforts in doing what you do. BIG WOW! NZ. 😲
I know I'm way late to this party but first you're like this spot looks cool, then you spotted what looked like a rock to me and you knew exactly what it was. Amazing brother
Excellent video from find to restoration; thank you! You are in waters with alligators; have you seen any invasive pythons? Hopefully, there is someone with you at all times while diving.👍😃
This video was well for lack of a better word Awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed watching both of you carefully and correctly recover the Mastodon teeth & tusks. You were so careful about your restoration. I learned something new which is always great fun even at 55. 😁Thank you for sharing so much of the process & for making this video. It was so nice to hear the excitement and happiness in your voices. Joe is really funny😂😆 This world gets pretty sad sometimes so it was really nice to see your 2 so happy. Good Job! 💚🐘😊
This is awesome that you found this Mastodon. You have a cool landowner to let you collet what you can. Thank you for collecting on private land, not public lands.
So glad these fossils were found by someone as skilled and knowledgeable as yourself. It feels better to know they are being respectfully treated and in good hands, and not just deteriorating into oblivion and unable to be appreciated.
*HIM*
Grabbing it like some Elsa Jean grabs BBC.

Such a comprehensive "how to" find, collect. preserve and curate ice age fossils. Step one: get a good, funny and knowledgeable friend named Joe.

So cool. I'm way impressed.
I grew up in Florida around creeks and rivers like the ones you dive. You’re a brave man.
Same here. Pardon my French, but fuuuck that!😂
Brave or dumb?

What class was that?
@@colbeanz4236 it wasn't a class it was summer break with the northern Nevada archeological association
Amazing find, great stabilization and restoration as well! Thank you for sharing
Damn dude, One of the times where "This belongs in a museum" is an accurate statement, amazing discovery congrats
This video was awesome. I can't believe how much work and of course love went into saving history like that. Great job.
Your last name😊😊😊😊
Toujours un véritable moment de détente 🔎🎬🍀Alex France
What a great video. I bet you realising what you have found must of been absolutely buzzing!
Amazing video and incredible story arc.
Really appreciate the editing. Had my daughter watch it... she says "grwow"

Incredible job! I've recently started looking into evolution and fossils so this was a very cool video to watch!
What a journey. Thank you for taking us a long.
That was so very interesting. Thank you Johnathan, and Joe.
Wow! I'm blown away. You're living my dream. Thank you for sharing this incredible find!
Just stumbled upon this. Pretty cool. Downright amazing. Keep it up.
It's great to see you guys preserving these. Thanks for a very interesting and informative video!
The discovery is incredible, the collection and preparation of the mammoth pieces is so exemplary for us. Thatnk you...
Thanks for sharing your great experience with this video. Loved it!

For some reason seeing the tip on that tusk makes it so much more real. This was beautiful to watch
This is a cool vid ...shout out from south western Minnesota!!!
OMG what Great finds Guys!!!! I'm Heading over there soon after all this Storm Surge retreats from the Hurricane Ian. Then I'm Over there ASAP.
First time viewer here, Joe is an absolute riot, you ought to keep him around. Awesome video, very awesome find.
Glad you found the channel. I'd keep him around more if he was house trained.
Amazing video! Love what you all do, I wish I could join you all out there somehow. The fossil scene here in the Ohio River Valley, is quite lackluster.
I'm in Blue Rock, Ohio and it's rather good for Mastodon teeth etc.
I love to witness somebody finding that much joy and excitement, let alone a mastodon. Good find brotha

Great work. I'm amazed you put this all together from such fragile piece.
This video is why I love TH-cam. Masterclass

Just watched the channel for the first time, so interesting, finding these fossils so old. Have now subscibed to channel.
Excellent video from find to restoration; thank you!
You are in waters with alligators; have you seen any invasive pythons? Hopefully, there is someone with you at all times while diving.👍😃
Hope your not alone. I saw a guy get his arm torn off. Once they get ya you got. Bring a 12g and a friend. Great video mate. Thank you
