Are there conditions like that on the river nowadays?
@CharlestonSharkTeethАй бұрын
Yes, there are conditions like that, occasionally. In order to go at the right time, you have to monitor the Givhan's Ferry gage. When the guage reads two. or three feet, you can go and you can find shallow water. But the bottom varies in depth. so some places will be deeper than others. You certainly do not want to go when the gage is reading 8 or 10 feet. Be aware that this is what I call the backwoods and you will have no cell phone service., so safety becomes a concern waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/02175000/#parameterCode=00065&period=P7D&showMedian=false

There are two fossilized layers of earth that run through South Carolina. They are named the Hawthorne formation and the Chandler Bridge formation. These formations come closest to the surface of the Earth around 20 miles inland. This is where your teeth come from. They get washed out of the foundation, and then as time passes, they move towards the ocean. This is why you will seldom find a fossil 30 or 40 miles inland.

Based on your latest videos you are not spending much time toothing these days. If your bushwhacking to get to new spots it's hard work. I've been going to the Charleston area and the peace a couple times a year and I've got some good not great teeth. THE hardest part about shark tooth hunting is researching where your gonna go. I mean topographic maps, and hunting down the on-line not just where the chandler bridge formation was but where it was at or close to the surface . There's not of good formation so deep we will never see it. You do concur I'm sure. EVEN with a ton of research in and a master plan I might find nothing or find myself somewhere I shouldn't be. When some says "WHERE exactly did you find them " I chuckle. It's like people wanting to know the GPS coordinates of my favorite fishing spots. You tell one person and there are 50 there the next time you go. You have to earn it or have a really good friend.

I have two issues after taking the ski out for the first time since the engine mount replacements. These issues were present when I bought the ski, so it is nothing I have caused. The first issue is the speedometer is very inaccurate, fluctuating drastically, for example I could be at top speed, and the speedo will read 20kmh, or the next second 10kmh and then 32kmh, all whilst I am maxed out at 60 odd kmh. And vice versa. The second problem I have, is that the fuel gauge is reading 2/10ths of a bar when it has over half a tank of fuel inside. I'm wondering if the clock is damaged or I may need a new float. Any ideas would be massively appreciated! Once again thanks for the help 👍🏻

It was reading 1200 rpm's. The spec is 1600-1800. Will test it soon. Funny thing it idles in the driveway but at the dock it will not idle. It just slows down and drops dead. It sounds good and runs smoothly but I am not pushing away from the dock until it idles properly. I removed my winch strap today. I have one on order. The safety latch is missing on the winch strap hook. I was amazed at the rust towards the end of the strap. The rust was hidden. It was rusted to the attachment bolt. Used my Dremel to cut it free.

The fossils here in Charleston and surrounding areas are abundant but very elusive. Although a "stray" will surface occasionally due to rain and erosion, most loose fossils migrate towards gravel and rocks of similar weight and density.
