Great question ..initially I joined a fossil group and the people on there( lots of experts) helped me identify my finds and recommended books for me to read ( I'm now admin for those groups) but I learned through people who had been finding for many more years ,who had much more experience and knowledge . Also the Nhm ,museum service are extremely helpful . I've only been doing this around 4 years ,I have so much more to learn 😀
@@fossilfox4463 U.K. born and bred.I live near to Aldeburgh in Suffolk. This fossil interest is quite new to me, although it is increasing in interest rapidly. As a person I do not enjoy travel very much, so over the years our holiday's have been reduced to mainly Norfolk based, this year we are in Horning for example. I study TH-cam enough and glean the very basic information, and I have to say your site shows excellent pictures that also help me, not that I have even gone out searching yet. The title of this clip has Happisburgh mentioned which piqued my interest because when researching my family tree, I discovered I have a Great uncle that suffered a cataclysmic accident in one of the first submarine sinking right off 'Happisburgh Light' back in the very early 1900's. He, and most of the crew still reside inside the wreck. This was a dive done some years back now th-cam.com/video/j0iSG7ygynY/w-d-xo.html It is all rather fascinating, but not much to do with fossils I appreciate. I have a couple of minor fossil books on their way here to set me off, plus I have a unsuspecting, but curiously minded holiday friend that will love to learn once I tell him about it. We often go to Sherringham as a ritual really, where we sit with our wives eating chips in shelters, then go for a walk..... all in out youthful seventies, or near on... Thank you for your reply, I will delve into the books of the NHM, apparently they have three that I must get, I am an avid book collector/reader/hoarder/buyer so brilliant subject matter..
Thankyou for the link ...I've just watched it ,oh my word for what is a very tragic incident ,I was astounded by the beauty of this watery grave .so much life is thriving on this great sacrifice, I can't believe what I was seeing ,it has become a thriving ecosystem, full of wonderful sponges ,crabs corals and fish ...stunning. I wonder if the tide and time museum in sherringham have more information they could offer you .

Once more lovely views lovely finds , another great video, nice piece of Tusk David if that’s what you think it is 👏👏love the sound of the sea ,shame about those people who don’t respect the environment and discard their litter , absolutely love the ball joint and Tibia from Happisboro
Hi, I don't know if you know, but all the rights to Happisburgh beach and the first half of Eccles on sea are owned by the Lord of the Manor. He holds all the rights to Lessingham, Eccles, Happisburgh & Hempstead . It's actually a crime to remove anything from the beaches. I know many people do, even though legally it's stealing. I'm not moaning or complaining, I just thought you should know.
So many wonderful finds. You deserve more subscribers! Thank you for your amazing personality and knowledge❤❤
Thank you so much!
How did you begin identifying finds, did you use a book or something, if so, which book did you use....??????
