Hurricane Ian blew through Summerville last week. Thankfully we were spared the devastation Ian dealt to our friends Florida - Our thoughts are with everyone there and we can't wait to see the spectacular finds of Sunshine state collectors! Folks here in South Carolina took this storm seriously and everything shut down so we were just sitting in the house in the dark with nothing to do, listening to the wind howl and the rain pelt the windows. Of course our thoughts drifted towards hunting shark teeth - after all, nothing is better than hurricane rain for eroding out prehistoric goodies. It didn't take long to make up our minds and we quickly gathered up our rain gear and headed out the door. The roads were deserted. During a hurricane is the only time without traffic jams so the drive was actually nice, despite all the traffic lights being out. Oh wait, that was nice too. We arrived at the spot and saw other collectors already there. Not a surprise! We got a lot of rain in just a short time so everyone was thinking the same thing as us. It normally would bum us out not to get there first, but it was raining so hard that it took only minutes to erase footprints. There were rivers of water where it was bone dry just hours before. The wind was driving the rain so hard it stung our faces. Umbrellas were useless so we just trekked through the flood and the mud hoping to see a blade, some serrations, maybe a root. It was actually hard to walk against the wind but we pressed onward, picking up teeth along the way. I would write about what we found, but the simple fact that I posted a video says it was worth the time to collect and to make a video, so sit back and enjoy the show as we brave the elements and resist nature to bring you our latest shark tooth hunting adventures!
