we don't normally just give away locations unless it's a fossil Park or an already well known area, we decided this time to share some of the knowledge. Also, Texas in general is very fossiliferous, so get out explore new areas and you can find your own spots just like this or better!
In this video we take you to one of our special spots that we scouted, and do something NEW AND UNEXPECTED by giving away the exact location in a "New spot Reveal!" This is something we have never done before in one of our videos, but we thought it would be a nice SURPRISE! We also find something very unexpected for this location!!! Check it out! & Happy hunting!
Let us know in the comments down below how you enjoyed this style of video!

Come to the Texas Hill Country. The chert you found on your video pales big-time to what we have here. It's literally EVERYWHERE.
Would love to sometime!
I wouldn't let my kids splash in that, that is the outlet for east plano sewage.
Ha! 😆 good to know! Our little ones mainly pick around in the gravel alongside us, but Jonny did take a slip and fall in the water one evening - along with his cell phone 😳
I grew up in east Plano I know all the creeks. Anything past the sewage plant at Los Rios blvd and 544 in east Plano was a no go when I was a kid.💩
I see kids/families play in that creek all the time.
Are you telling me they dump sewage in the creek? Mind. Blown.
You sound like you like the shallow water
Spring Creek and Duck Creek are good spots also in Garland Tx.
Thanks for the cool information!!!
So cool,im from Dallas and will be doing this!!
Great animations y'all! And OMG PaleoCris talks like a dolphin 🤣🤣🤣
We had a lot of fun making this video 🤣🤣
Thank you!
Bahaha the phone!! 🤣
Thanks 🤣🤣🤣
The bone is where blood is made and those pores are natural
HI. At exactly 12:53 there's a flat rock in the background with a round hole in it. Did you notice it?
At the time we didn't, I believe it to be a hagstone
Waz up guy's great video! I'm a new subscriber from rural Nebraska USA 🇺🇸
Thank you so much! Welcome!!! Glad to have you!
Rural Nebraska has some of the best fossil hunting, especially in the mini bad lands. The one time I went fossil hunting there I found an Oreodont skull. It is definitely worth hunting if you haven’t already!
They are so damn cool. Wish I could fossil with them.
Thank you!!
We are coming down there soon! We haven't exactly decided where we want to go yet, so this is quite helpful; thank you!
You're welcome
Great video and finds guys ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
It’s a bison tooth
That black piece early in the video looks like a baculite segment...
Love the animal crossing mumbling voice with the phone haha
Have y’all ever tried sifting there? I bet you could find shark teeth that way. Love this spot. How cool. Wish I had a place in Illinois to go fossil hunting! Nice balls by the way😂😂😂😂 y’all are awesome. Definitely Loved & Subbed!❤❤❤
We haven't but maybe we should try!
I’m just getting really into paleontology in Florida, but I grew up in ft worth. Do you have to have a permit to collect X in Texas? Thanks!
No permit required. Just laws about not hunting on private property without permission or govt property
Hey ya'll, great video.
I'm a Missourian, been in Texas about 5yrs, still have not found any points, I did find a couple Pottery shards in Jacksonville. I've been to that spot at the gun club, looks promising. Hope to see you guys there one day!
Hey that’s right around the corner.
Lot of rain came through this morning, might be worth a look! 😊
@@TheAdventurousCouple water is up. Might wait a day or three and take the my favorite granddaughter out this weekend. We often go north to OK for the big ammonites... getting harder to find.
Looks like an ice age bison tooth
I have a bovine tooth like that from Ladonia.
Awesome finds, ive been fossil hunting VA and Maryland for years. Its now not a hobby but a obsession lol cool video. Thanks for the upload
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Damn, just spent hours here in hot sun and nothing, even went up creek and in water.
Aw man I'm sorry to hear that!
Nice job! Cool finds.
Thanks!! We get around 😉
6:15 diamonds finders fees dinner
10:14 at the end of ur middle finger when u find the shark tooth that looks like a fossilized bone laying there.
Maybe so!!!! Good eye!
Where is this Location at I am fossil hunter as well from Paris Texas
Hi there! Search Garland Gateway Towers on Google Maps and it'll take you directly to where we were!
@@TheAdventurousCouple thank you so much got a idea for you fossil spot for you 2 pat mayse Lake has fossil you can walk or ride a boat
Was that a horse tooth you found or a bison tooth perhaps? Great finds!! Edit: I have a shiny black rock like that one you found and someone told me it is chert?
That tooth is Bovid, Bison or cow molar but bc of the difference between the other Bison teeth I'm leaning towards cow
@@TheAdventurousCouple I always forget their teeth can fossilize too hahaha.
The Bison teeth are Pleistocene in age.
The cow could be a fossil or could also be modern.
Have also found other Pleistocene material here, such a Mastodon and Mammoth tooth enamel. So I believe there's several deposits weathering out
@@TheAdventurousCouple I plan to visit one day!
I've been to this exact spot a couple times hopeful for points but no luck yet other than a few flakes. This gives me hope. I have had some luck on this creek though in other areas
Goodluck on your hunts!
Great video! When you are looking for spots to fossil hunt on a creek, are you mainly looking for gravel beds like in this video?
Yes
Is it ok to park at the gun range we won't be towed away will we
Its OK to park there. Never had an issue.
Cool banding more power to your channel sir
.👍👌
Thank you
You ever try washing gravel with a screen at that spot?
We haven't yet
Obsidian
That's a lot of nice finds 👍🏹
Thank you! We enjoy your finds as well!
Is this spot still any good?
That's the great thing about fossil hunting creeks and rivers - each time we get a heavy rain, there's always new stuff to find when the waters recede!
@@TheAdventurousCouple awesome! I’m going to check it out tomorrow. My thing is usually rocks but a hunt is a hunt! Thank you!
Have you been to Lake Texoma?
Yes we have! Nice ammonites and echinoids there!
@@TheAdventurousCouple Did you chisel and hammer or surface collect? I plan to go there in the fall when it’s not unbearably hot. I’ve been trying to plan a trip there for ammonites and only just recently did it become feasible due my brother moving to Dallas. I’m in NW Houston.
I should mention that I think it’s awesome you made a video sharing this place. Few do that, even when it’s a location with no scientific value. Everything about fossil hunting and prep is an uphill climb. Appreciate it!
Bison tooth??
That tooth is Bovid, Bison or cow molar but bc of the difference between the other Bison teeth I'm leaning towards cow
Horse tooth
I live between Hondo and Devine tx on a hundred acres and there are tons of fossils on our property.
Oh? What kind of fossils you finding?
If you ever wanna hunt sometime let us know!
@TheAdventurousCouple
Different kinds of shell fossils, coral, and petrified wood.
