As a former high school teacher of kids who would now be called 'Millennials' I can assure you there is plenty of room for faith in them. The negative stereotypes are just a mix of older people being stereotypical "old farts," people who just resent youth because they're different, jealousy for their youth, as well as differences in political trends, and the fears of those differences. What's funny is how the people now called Baby Boomers were called Hippies in their youth, stereotyped as lazy, drug-abusing, immoral, etc. You would think they of all people would recognize that each Millennial either DOESN'T fit the stereotype, or if they do, they will likely change a lot over the course of their lives, just like Hippies did. If it's not clear by now, I'm talking about both groups as 'they' because I'm an X'er, which you don't hear referenced very often anymore, and which I rather enjoy. We're stealthy, lol.
@@audreymuzingo933 Hippies were a very small minority. They cite the Woodstock concert as a testament to their strength in numbers. Still a very small minority. Most so called hippies were in fact nothing of the sort. I was born in 1952 and member of that culture. I remember the scorn and degradation we were put through. Elvis was the devil. Rock and Roll caused riots. Things never change. I look back on that and realize what is being said about the younger generation is just the same old same old.
Lmao millions of years... looks like we have another gullible sheep who believes the nonsense they were taught in school like evolution and earth being millions of years old. Lmfao when will ppl actually research stuff themselves and find actual truth instead of blindly believing scientists who spread the most ridiculous myths as facts when if ppl would just take the time to do a lil research they will find these myths have absolutely zero facts or evidence but countless evidence debunking these “stories and theories” World is full of sheeple
In the early/mid ‘60s, in a pool where the Aucilla River broke the surface then disappeared back underground, my good friend Chaz, about 16 years old at the time, discovered a mastodon bone bed with too many skulls and tusks to count. Chaz brought Dr. Stanley John Olsen of the Florida Geological Survey for a look and the professor told him not to tell anybody about this…we’re going to call National Geographic Magazine. And so they came, set up a perimeter fence and several portable buildings and were able to extract ten complete mastodon skeletons. They packed everything up and were gone leaving hundreds of bones behind. Chaz was told he would get full recognition and his picture in the magazine. Well, he got no recognition but did get his picture in the magazine in full wet suit, hood and mask. It could have been anybody. He vowed if he ever found anything like that again Nat Geo would be the last people he would tell about it. For years Chaz’s father’s yard was littered with slowly decaying mastodon bones.
yep I gots tons o stories bout museums F'n ppl over and I mean F'n with a capital A. As to your mastodon, unless you knew how to preserve it it just would have eventually dried out and continue to disintegrate into pieces. As a warning don't ever ever donate anything to a museum!
@@RetroFan I knew an old fella that had his dad civil war pistol. He donated it to the Frankford Arsenal Museum. Well that museum is no longer so where's his pistol? AND here's another. The Museum of the Rockies dumped 3 truckloads of DONATED Indian artifacts into a landfill because "they needed the space". Are you f'n me!!!
My parents had a gravel driveway, and every few years he’d get a new dump truck load. I’d go out and collect shark teeth all day and with a flashlight at night. Good times.
@@chronicawareness9986 Best to look for fossils in sedimentary rocks like limestone and sandstone. If you got river rocks your would get a nice mix of igneous and sedimentary rocks depending on where they are sourced from.
5:48 Plecostomus (Pleco) are very commonly used in fresh water aquariums to reduce algae build up. 15:23 And that's exactly why I stay out of the water down there! Great video! You're a brave man! Good luck, and stay weary!
What an awesome hunt . Very cool finds and I love your attitude towards history , nature and science . I hope you have chosen a career in one of the sciences as I think you would do well . Take care and thx for sharing
Clicked on by Mistake but quickly got excited along with you as you kept finding more & more Neat Fossils. so ended up watching the entire Video. Had some fun with you, so big Thumbs Up & will be back to Dig Some Science.
The creeks are so filthy around here there's no way I'd be able to do that but I'd love to try it there. I wish people cared more about preserving nature.
Love how excited y’all get while still underwater. 😂 I am currently living in NC and find lots of fossils on the beach but it would be amazing to go inland to all the creeks.
Fantastic finds and I love that you know what they all are! Have just liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more great videos!😍 Think you need a heated wet suit too!😵
We are glad you found us as well! We have not, except one time a snake did bite our camera while we were filming. It happened in one of our earliest episodes: "We Found a Mastodon Jaw While Fighting off Snakes and Gators | Florida Fossil Hunting Episode 01"
Just came across your channel due to good ole U tube, thoroughly enjoying watching your hunts. Amazed at your knowledge of the finds, and it's great that you explain to us what the finds are and what they came from ! ! ! subscribed and following, now git on wit da hunt !
We are so glad you found us! And We will. We would be in the water every day if we could! Look out for a new video from us this weekend. Hope to see you in the comments!
Great job, impressive knowledge of the fossils. OH, I was born/raised in Fla and the area you were in is Gorgeous. For me, that's the REAL Florida. I miss it.
First time finding you guys. I love it! As a very little girl, I would find fossilized sea biscuits in the ditches around our house in Lowndes Co, GA. Moved to Savannah and found shark teeth on Tybee Is. Now in McIntosh county, but no finds yet. Love what you do. Let me know if I can help!
Fossilized shark teeth may be found on the beaches on the west coast of Florida. They stick out because they are black, frequency is such that you rarely look up so focused on the sand you become.
Johnathan, thank u for cleaning up after these pigs. That's such a wonderful thing to do. Ur a fine young man. Thank u for all that u do to teach us about history.
An absolutely great video. I'm so glad I found this channel and Dig Dive Discover. An awful lot of my fossil finds have been Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous and I am extremely jealous of your mammal bones! My kids and me fossil hunt all over England, Wales and Scotland. My son took some photographs of a fossilised giant centipede track on the Isle of Arran when he was on a field trip from University. Enough of my ramblings!! I'm off to watch all of your videos and Dig Dive Discover!!
Thank you so much Grendel, this kind of support is huge to us! If you want to help us make more videos, consider becoming a patreon supporter at www.patreon.com/diggingscience. But, there is absolutely no pressure to do so. I cannot wait to share more with you!
There are so many things that we have discovered that would have been destroyed, but most of the time these fossils don't survive. So so many broken fossils are found by us every year.
All I have ever found was wolf, Ostrich, Bison, horse, one hump camel, rhino and varmint fossils and none of them bigger than a couple inches. The wolf fossil was most of a lower jaw in pieces. And tons of pine-cone fossils and petrified wood here in beautiful CO!!!! Congrats on your finds Guys!!
Just discovering your channel now. I'm in FL and I CANNOT believe you go into some of those river spaces! OMG - ALLIGATORS!!!! Your knowledge is awesome, but plz be careful!
came across yr video here, quite by accident. what a fabulous accident. Loved your knowledge and sharing yr passion. keep it up and best of luck in future hunts.
Man, I'm jealous! You don't find fossils like that in Connecticut. We do have some bedrock from the dinosaur era in my area, but fossils are super rare.
Just an awesome video to share with ppl, the history of our world is absolutely amazing and I’m sure all who watch are mesmerized like I am. Well done.
Your friend from (dig dive discover) is he still making videos or has he quit or did something happen to him? He hasn't made any video for quite some time. I hope he is OK. Great video thank you.
Excellent finds with the tortoise shell and the cat jaw. Are you keeping records on what you find and where? You're welcome to visit Montana, and do some fossil hunting here, if you like. Best to you and yours.
Rivers erode and accumulate the fossils so typically they are a much more reliable source. But some mines and construction sites have been famous for the fossils uncovered. However, digging up a random tract of land probably wont produce anything. Hope that helps!
Lots of fun to go along with you. I used to snorkel in all the rivers of the north shore of Lake Superior. I found lots of fishing lures, and the lower jaw of a black bear. I don’t think any of it was as old as what you are finding. 😀. What do you do with your finds? You must have a big store room.
...I was watching "Aquachigger" channel and this got recommended to me from TH-cam. I'm so glad, this is awesome some great finds bro hope to see more.
I too stumbled on this via my usual manmade treasure hunter videos. Funny because my background is biology but I never thought of amateur fossil hunter videos as a possible 'thing.'
likewise. Blown away by your identification skills. I used to get fossils from the Jurassic-coast in the south of the UK, but they stopped people from digging them out of the cliff-face years ago (probably for the best)
I love this stuff. Got into YouTubing for fishing but I’ve always had a strong fascination with nature in general. Fossil hunting is always an option around the rivers and creeks I fish. I may have to try on a slow day of fishing.
Absolutely! Fossil hunting fulfills that same primitive joy as fishing and it never gets old no matter what you find! A bad day fossil hunting is better than a good day doing just about anything else!
Would it be legal to take wire mesh of different sizes on wood frames and sift the beach area? I am an old man now and there are so many new laws. There are so many more teeth there plus you never know.
I found what looked like your cylindrical horse tooth but it was about twice the size. would you guess that it is a horse tooth or might it belong to a different species?
Have you guys ever used electric submersible fans to blow the layers out we just started that method in central fl with good success and beats faning the silt with fins or by hand.
are you guys standing in most the footage? cameras play depth tricks, looks like you're standing but it looks deep when you go to the creek bottom. Also just curious but whats the water temp there? december all our water is froze solid ha ha
We were standing at the Mammoth skull spot, but at the Mastodon tooth and Mammoth ball joint spot. We were balancing on logs! Thanks for the support :)
On the west side of Lake Louisa in Lake county there is a singular white sand beach (old Taggart property on Oswalt Rd.). We have been pulling Indian artifacts, many chert arrowheads, out of the top 10 inches of sand there since 1948. The beach extends 30 yards out from shore to an often buried spring head at 10' depth. The property line ends at the high water mark.
the amount of knowledge about fossils amazes me, i would just look at something and be like hmm thats a cool fossil, but you know everything about them
WOW!!! How cool!!! I have found things in gravel and didn't know what they were..was told toss am back..junk. :( wish I had someone to teach me. I have 2 words tho...FLORIDA ALLIGATOR!!!!! BE CAREFUL!! ... SUBSCRIBED..my first time seeing you
Wonderful channel. Congratulations on both your knowledge of fossils. I have lived in Florida many years, and knew we had fossils, but didn’t realize how diverse and exciting our fossil beds are.
Florida was more of a Savannah. We had a species of Mammoth known as the Columbian Mammoth. They were a much less hairy mammoth suited for warmer environments!
19:32 I'm convinced you two are living in a video game and somehow the other dude died, dropped his inventory, and respawned, and that's why there were so many fossils around the gopro
If you ever go to Virginia, just below Smithfield, on the James river, you can find tons of shark teeth. A lot of Megladon teeth have been found there.
Thank you for vlogging such a wonderful interest. I just found your channel and I am thrilled. I have a question. Why are there such a concentration of bones in these areas. Was it that they were ancient watering holes and a source of food up and down the food chain? I used to know this info. Just so interesting. Thank you for this.
We are so happy you found the channel! While bones and artifacts do concentrate around paleo-springs and other important areas. These fossils were preserved mostly from chance over a couple million years. However, some of the ice age ones probably come from a period in which the area might have been boggy and better able to preserve and then fossilize bone. There are peat layers as evidence to this.
@@DiggingScience They would really be able to answer that question in astounding detail if you'd leave the fossils where they are and mark the area because as the fossils lay is crucial for paleontoligists to answer such a question. You find things for the thrill of it yet very important information is forever lost.
Hi,@@mwj5368 , we are licensed through the Florida Museum of Natural History and I am also a trained geologist. We report all findings to the state. Unfortunately, since it is an underwater site, the data that you are talking about is almost entirely lost. It is all reworked (hence why you can find shark teeth next to mammoth bones. But I agree with you sites like the Montbrook site, hold immense value through cataloging by grid demarcation where all the fossils were discovered. By doing so there they were able to determine that they were deposited there by a prehistoric river.
In florida if the waterway is navigable by boat during any season of the year, it's state land. Just need a $5 fossil permit from UF to collect non shark/ray teeth vertebrate fossils on state lands
Thank you! Every subscriber is HUGE. I grew up on a farm where we would find arrowheads when we plowed and my dad would take us to the creeks to dig for shark teeth. I fell in love with it at an early age!
2019 has been a good year for discovery, hoping 2020 brings even better and badder finds to share with you all!!!

@deborah lariscy you are so right. Real Florida!! People think beaches and Disney. Ruined us
In Florida all you have to do is look in people's shell driveways to find some of this stuff. Pieces of shark and horse teeth are common.
Thise are some beautiful finds. Wish I could find something besides crinoid stems and clam shells around here.
This is incredible stuff! ! Love watching...I can't wait to go exploring. ..thanks again..keep it comin.

Have you guys ever used electric submersible fans to blow the layers out we just started that method in central fl with good success and beats faning the silt with fins or by hand.
This was the first time I had ever seen the video and I subscribed that was totally awesome
Thanks so much Dwight! Looking forward to seeing you in the comments on future videos!
are you guys standing in most the footage? cameras play depth tricks, looks like you're standing but it looks deep when you go to the creek bottom. Also just curious but whats the water temp there? december all our water is froze solid ha ha
also i love the channel, great stuff and congrats on the treasures!
We were standing at the Mammoth skull spot, but at the Mastodon tooth and Mammoth ball joint spot. We were balancing on logs! Thanks for the support :)
To think that mammoth skull
is possibly over 4000 yrs old it’s just incredible ..
I lived in Florida for 9 years I walk to the edge of the Everglades read the sign and left I want a Megalodon tooth
Son that is the finest set of fuzzy peaches I’ve ever layer eyes on.
On the west side of Lake Louisa in Lake county there is a singular white sand beach (old Taggart property on Oswalt Rd.). We have been pulling Indian artifacts, many chert arrowheads, out of the top 10 inches of sand there since 1948. The beach extends 30 yards out from shore to an often buried spring head at 10' depth. The property line ends at the high water mark.
Is the river low right now? Planning on getting in next Monday
the amount of knowledge about fossils amazes me, i would just look at something and be like hmm thats a cool fossil, but you know everything about them
WOW!!!
How cool!!! I have found things in gravel and didn't know what they were..was told toss am back..junk. :( wish I had someone to teach me. I have 2 words tho...FLORIDA ALLIGATOR!!!!! BE CAREFUL!! ... SUBSCRIBED..my first time seeing you
Appreciate the support! Down here we call em' Scaly bois! Looking forward to seeing you in future comments!
@@DiggingScience lol..Florida born n raised. Stay safe
Wonderful channel. Congratulations on both your knowledge of fossils. I have lived in Florida many years, and knew we had fossils, but didn’t realize how diverse and exciting our fossil beds are.
Its one of Florida's most amazing untold stories! Thanks for enjoying.
I didn't know Mammoths were in Florida! So Florida was covered in ice and snow too!
Florida was more of a Savannah. We had a species of Mammoth known as the Columbian Mammoth. They were a much less hairy mammoth suited for warmer environments!
@@DiggingScience thanks! I'm 46 and I still learn something new everyday! Great video!
@@DiggingScience I never knew Mammoths and Mastodons were different too! 👍🏽
19:32 I'm convinced you two are living in a video game and somehow the other dude died, dropped his inventory, and respawned, and that's why there were so many fossils around the gopro
Can u find these in any florida rivers or just peace river?
Ice Age mammal fossils have been found in almost every Floridan River!
what a great video I enjoyed it very much. liked the scientific names well done.
If you ever go to Virginia, just below Smithfield, on the James river, you can find tons of shark teeth. A lot of Megladon teeth have been found there.
Keep hunting enjoy the finds...
15:30 Funniest part of the entire video.
Thank you for vlogging such a wonderful interest. I just found your channel and I am thrilled. I have a question. Why are there such a concentration of bones in these areas. Was it that they were ancient watering holes and a source of food up and down the food chain? I used to know this info. Just so interesting. Thank you for this.
We are so happy you found the channel! While bones and artifacts do concentrate around paleo-springs and other important areas. These fossils were preserved mostly from chance over a couple million years. However, some of the ice age ones probably come from a period in which the area might have been boggy and better able to preserve and then fossilize bone. There are peat layers as evidence to this.
@@DiggingScience They would really be able to answer that question in astounding detail if you'd leave the fossils where they are and mark the area because as the fossils lay is crucial for paleontoligists to answer such a question. You find things for the thrill of it yet very important information is forever lost.
Hi,@@mwj5368 , we are licensed through the Florida Museum of Natural History and I am also a trained geologist. We report all findings to the state. Unfortunately, since it is an underwater site, the data that you are talking about is almost entirely lost. It is all reworked (hence why you can find shark teeth next to mammoth bones. But I agree with you sites like the Montbrook site, hold immense value through cataloging by grid demarcation where all the fossils were discovered. By doing so there they were able to determine that they were deposited there by a prehistoric river.
Do you keep them?
Are you guys on public, private or state land?
In florida if the waterway is navigable by boat during any season of the year, it's state land. Just need a $5 fossil permit from UF to collect non shark/ray teeth vertebrate fossils on state lands
Just found your videos and absolutely love them! How did you get into this field?
Thank you! Every subscriber is HUGE. I grew up on a farm where we would find arrowheads when we plowed and my dad would take us to the creeks to dig for shark teeth. I fell in love with it at an early age!
Looks like you had 'a lightbulb' moment there !
Love to have a megalodon tooth 💯
Ha I saw the thumbnail and I thought that was how the fossils were discovered. I was like, "Did a shark eat a cat????"
That's really amazing stuff. Subscribed
I love how the creatures hide so well you have no idea they are watching you and how close they are
