The property line is at the mean high water mark. If you are walking along the water of a tidal portion of a river at low tide, you are on public land, not private property
That is true for Maryland but in Virginia I believe it is the mean low tide water mark, so if you are not in the water, you are on private lands. This is why it's important to check the laws as they differ on either side of the river. I know people that own land on the Virginia side and I had permission to be there.
Whoah; fantastic finds! And I'd say it's likely that the speartip found by your friend John is most likely an atlatl-dart tip, considering the size. Very cool!
Nice day! I'm searching for like 2 months every weekend for like 10 hours and all I've found yet is a 5 mm tooth, but a tooth it's a tooth so I'm happy =)) GG for this nice trip, hope you'll post more often!
Your videos make me feel like I'm out there with you. I'm pretty sure at least 1 of these Potomac River videos is in Westmoreland County, where I live.
Nice finds ! We collect some creeks here in Alabama for Cretaceous Sharks teeth and the occasional Mosasaur or Plesiosaur bones . None of our teeth are as big as some you are finding . Looks like you are collecting Eocene maybe ?
ALABAMAHEADHUNTER awesome! I have seen some of your videos. You guys find some cool stuff! This area seems to be mostly Miocene based on our finds so far. Sometimes a little bit of fossils from the Oligocene might be found but for the most part it seems to be Miocene. I think there are some areas further inland that have some Eocene. At this location we typically find C. chubutensis and C. megalodon but not C. angustidens or auriculatus.
As far as the finds go...... they go way far in my opinion. I've done a short fossil trip in Charleston, S.C. wasn't disappointed but not near your level of finds.
Charlie Hogan I wish I could tell you but it is a friend of a friends property so I can't disclose that information, but you can try colonial beach, VA or Calvert Cliffs, MD which are publicly accessible to find the same types of fossils. Good luck!
Unfortunately I do not. Mostly because I don't actually live near that area. I live in FL now, and only go up to that area around the holidays to spend time with family (and even still, family lives around 5 hours away from Calvert lol). But i try to do some fossil hunting anyway because I love fossil hunting in that area! I do attend some events down in the FL area though, like the Shark Tooth Fest at Venice, FL
Hey is there any specific address to patomic river since I live in nj so I don’t know where to go so can someone give me an address close to the patomic river fossil site or at it plz thanks
Heather Forsythe if you are on private land it is allowed. I don't specifically seek them out, in fact I haven't actually found one myself. But my friends have!
Shark Man it is not for the public. My friend knows the land owner and they gave us permission to fossil hunt on their land. There isn't a name for the specific location and it isn't near any public beaches/shore.
jojo Lrng lol it could be I guess. I make necklaces from some of the teeth my friend and I find. It I don't find them specifically to sell them like some other hunters do. I could never part with my best finds. I sell the necklaces to help promote the hobby and interest in fossils and I try to keep my prices very reasonable. It doesn't make much money but I use that to help go on more hunts.
Most of the Potomac is private, but a good public place to try is Calvert Cliffs in Maryland: 10540 H G Trueman Rd, Lusby, MD 20657, after you park, it is about a mile or two of a walk/hike to the beach/cliffs. (which is close to the Potomac but is technically Chesapeake Bay...
I was wondering what influences the color of the teeth? Is it water, the matrix it was deposited in or time? Some of the colours are out of this world🐚
Great question, thanks for asking! It is mainly determined by the minerals present in the sediment the tooth fell into and got fossilized in. A lot of times the teeth we find are black, usually an indicator of being mineralized in phosphate. Part of it has to do with time, but only the time it takes for the tooth to mineralize and thus fossilize. Here is a good read about why we get the different colors of shark teeth: www.fossilguy.com/topics/shark-teeth-colors/index.htm
Adrian Collins dinosaurs are cool! I loved them too as a kid but sadly I don't remember all of them anymore. Also sadly when I fossil hunt in Florida I know I will never find dinosaur bones because Florida was underwater when the dinosaurs roamed the earth.

I was freezing to death here in Ohio just watching all of you-so I turned my heating pad on-lol great finds!

YsabetJustYsabet thanks!
Awesome finds guys!!!🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! That was one of my favorite fossil hunts!

Puc hopefully I will be posting some more videos again soon! Keep on hunting, and good luck!
Thanks!

I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Your assumption is accurate :-)
Julia Rock u live in westmoreland

Nice finds. was this along the Virginia shoreline of the Potomac.
Pretty good finds! keep on the good work :)
Thanks! Hoping to go out fossil hunting one more time before Christmas. Will post my next finds if I do. :)
Nice finds!
Almost looked like a small meg or a great white at 1:20 on the far right hand of the screen?
Do you go on hunts where you would take a new lover of fossils along?
Sherry Franke I do not currently, but maybe one day!
I'd be happy to be the 1st!!😁
@@sherryfranke6442 I'll keep you in mind if I ever do! :)
@@DarkNinjaShark I would love to I have a big collection and would love to keep adding
Nice vid!
Hi I luv Ur vids I just subscribed keep up the good work
Thanks for the sub and glad you like the videos! Hopefully more will be rolling out soon!
6:35 How do you even *spot* that through the muddy water, mate? Now you made me mad, I'm gonna subscribe.
ScientistCat very carefully lol. Thanks for the sub!
Have you taken fans on hunts with you?
Beverley Arbogast I have not
That earbone is called a Tympanic bulla and probably a Dolphin not a whale. Whale tympanic bulla's are much larger.
Eric Woody thanks for the terminology! Agreed that it is dolphin because of the size.
***** Keep on hunting.
I would really like to go shark teeth hunting were is that exactly on the Potomac river
Charlie Hogan I wish I could tell you but it is a friend of a friends property so I can't disclose that information, but you can try colonial beach, VA or Calvert Cliffs, MD which are publicly accessible to find the same types of fossils. Good luck!
ok thanks
Hey do you do any events in Calvert county like shark fest
Unfortunately I do not. Mostly because I don't actually live near that area. I live in FL now, and only go up to that area around the holidays to spend time with family (and even still, family lives around 5 hours away from Calvert lol). But i try to do some fossil hunting anyway because I love fossil hunting in that area! I do attend some events down in the FL area though, like the Shark Tooth Fest at Venice, FL
NinjaShark that’s no problem I go to events all over the east coast like the aroura fossil festival
Cool! Maybe you'll catch me at one of the FL ones!
are you going to shark tooth island in any of your videos
Matt Zumbrun no, but I have heard of it. Would like to go someday!
😎👍
Hey is there any specific address to patomic river since I live in nj so I don’t know where to go so can someone give me an address close to the patomic river fossil site or at it plz thanks
1k wooohhhh 1k subscribers whooo
shark tooth man 1k hype!! :)
Thanks ninja shark
I would love to have permission but I'm never that lucky
Hi you are the best
Can you look 👀 for arrowheads
Heather Forsythe if you are on private land it is allowed. I don't specifically seek them out, in fact I haven't actually found one myself. But my friends have!
unusual to see people caring about their national animals :P
Foozil national animal or not, bald eagles are cool and I don't see them too often so I'd probably still geek over it regardless lol
I agree with you, I'd love to see one
So many teeth...
TheGamingDinosaur it was a good day for sure :)
Is this place for the public?
This was on private land
what exacaly is the name of the place though?
Shark Man it is not for the public. My friend knows the land owner and they gave us permission to fossil hunt on their land. There isn't a name for the specific location and it isn't near any public beaches/shore.
Is there a public fossil hunting site near it?
Shark Man no, unfortunately there is not. A similar location you could try that is public is Calvert cliffs in Maryland
is this legal
psn kieran if you have permission from the landowner (which we did), it is legal :)
NinjaShark
o thats so cool
how much cost the teeth of megalodon ?
ok, i see teeth of megalodon at 25$-250$ and one at 800$... it's insane bro
Yes, they can range quite a bit depending on size, condition and location they were found.
I suppose that is a profitable passion ^^
ty for this great vidéo :)
jojo Lrng lol it could be I guess. I make necklaces from some of the teeth my friend and I find. It I don't find them specifically to sell them like some other hunters do.

yes it is honorable
I have fossils
Oh and for other sights not this private ground
Most of the Potomac is private, but a good public place to try is Calvert Cliffs in Maryland: 10540 H G Trueman Rd, Lusby, MD 20657, after you park, it is about a mile or two of a walk/hike to the beach/cliffs. (which is close to the Potomac but is technically Chesapeake Bay...
Thanks
Nice teeth I’m a Calvert hunter
Thank you! Calvert is a great place :-)
NinjaShark thanks at my favorite spot I once found a partial crocodile forearm bone
That's awesome! While I love finding shark teeth, it is nice to find some other cool stuff too!
Marc Jones hey have you had any luck finding anything good at purse park
Joshua Tondola I have but purse fossils are in a different time period but I still go and I have found a few otodus teeth there before
I was wondering what influences the color of the teeth? Is it water, the matrix it was deposited in or time? Some of the colours are out of this world🐚

I LOVE DINOSAURS I KNOW 360 SPEISHES AND I'M A KID
Adrian Collins dinosaurs are cool! I loved them too as a kid but sadly I don't remember all of them anymore. Also sadly when I fossil hunt in Florida I know I will never find dinosaur bones because Florida was underwater when the dinosaurs roamed the earth.
