- Hey guys!
I was finally able to take H.M.S. Serra out for the first time this summer. Paddled to my favorite secret creek spot and spent the day walking the banks and searching for fossils. Make sure you watch ‘til the end for a surprise find! Hope you enjoy, and please take a second to leave a like and a comment, and subscribe! Hoppe Hunting!
Unfortunately, this will likely be the last video I can upload this summer. I didn’t get the chance to make nearly as many vids as I would’ve liked, but hopefully I’ll be able to get out a lot whenever I’m home from college!

Those cows are pretty BA! Museum quality. One of your best hunts !
They are pretty sick. And that meaty dolphin tooth and silver hastalis are sweeeeet
Awesome finds, loves those cow shark teeth!
I appreciate seeing what you find and learning about them. Thanks.
That tooth is a sand tiger not a mako. The protuberance combined with the cusplets is more indicative of carcharias taurus than isurus oxyrinchus. Also those cows are awesome! Nice finds!
I was thinking it looked a lot like a snaggletooth
that cow tooth is insane!! as well as that dolphin tooth, i’ve never seen one of those before!
Such awesome finds! I still watch all of your vids lol. Really cool stuff this time.
Awesome, we love watching other people having a good time
👍🏽 nice!

What an amazing video and wonderful channel! It’s been a huge dream of mine to fossil hunt for teeth and other nice things. Unfortunately I don’t live in a place where I can. Best of luck on the new hunts and count me as a new member of the Hoppehunting gang!
Thank you so much!!
Your video was fantastic. You really deserve a lot more subscribers! Loved & Subbed!
Thank you!!
David, I wish I had more opportunities to even make it to Calvert County this year from AA. Would have loved to launch and paddle out with you. Always next year. Great finds! Keep posting projects if you can make it happen while at school -JH
I'll try my best! There is a chance we'll switch to online classes, in which case I would return home. Only time will tell! ~HH
This is the kind of hunting I like to do! I found some awesome stuff in my recent video.
Dude just that shard of the Meg tooth is bigger than some of the fish we’ve caught surf fishing this week. Couldn’t imagine the size of the shark
Wow, there are some really nice fossils here !
Right below the big mako tooth there was a digit bone you totally skipped….awesome finds though all around.
The tooth below the Sand Tiger (not a mako) appears to be a juvenile meg. You didn't show a closeup of it.
Awesome finds mate.
I am new to fossil hunting, so I know this might sound stupid but is there a specific way people need to store their fossils? Or because they are so old they are pretty much protected from anything, other than angry humans.
You have earned yourself a new subscriber mate.
Thank you! Preparation and storage really depends on the type of fossil. Shark teeth are often very well preserved and durable, so they don’t need any special kind of protection. But some other fossils (i.e. various bones, trilobites) can be very fragile and often require careful preparation and consolidation. There are many great resources online and in literature where you can learn how to best store the specific fossils you collect!

Where is this? Or can you tell me how you learned to identify the stuff you found?
I just found your channel and I love it! Do you have any tips on finding locations(such as the one in your video) to hunt for teeth and fossils?
Sierradragon1 Absolutely! I would suggest looking at a geologic map of your area, finding fossiliferous formations, and then looking for creeks/rivers that run through that area. Another simpler option is to do an online search for something along the lines of “(your area) fossil collecting” to see if there are any local public sites! Hope this is helpful ~HH
It seems to me that you are finding larger teeth in your creek location then along the cliffs, would you say thats right?
Oh for sure, Emily. The creeks are the special spots for locals. You can pull out some large Megs in the creeks, too.
My biggest and best teeth are actually from private sites along the Cliffs as well as various river sites! That being said, I’ve only been to the creek site a couple times. The teeth are few and far between, but clearly there are some big ones! Just gotta keep trying ~HH
Have you ever found a Chubutensis sharks tooth before there big like Angustiden and Megalodon.
How do you determine what creeks/areas/regions to look in?
I look for exposures of fossiliferous formations using a geologic map and a topographic map to locate areas with high levels of erosion. Another method is to simply search the internet for known fossil sites in your area. Hope this helps!
HoppeHunting thanks for the advice! Out here in MD I’m more or less limited to shark teeth and Native American artifacts (also very cool!)
@@HoppeHunting can you tell me how to find this information for my area? I live in Williamsburg, VA
Is this in florida?
Where is this at?
6:06 you are reaching for that mako tooth and reach over a very large piece of what looks like enamel, like meg or something else (just down and right of the tooth). Would love to know what that was.
I just saw that as well and did a couple rewinds to try and determine it. Black and shiny but cannot tell as the shot cuts away.
That would have been a 5 1’2” or 6” meg

How do you know where you look is going to have fossils there?
Generally speaking, you have to know the geology of the terrain, usually using geological maps. And then well you've gotta go there and check !
@@ombresombre3695 thankya my friend
2:06 you missed a bone
