Two shovels are better than one in the hunt for megalodon teeth. I can't dual wield so @AncientAdventures brings her considerable digging prowess to the game, enhancing our fossil recovery hunt after hunt. This video is yet another stellar record in the chronicles of the Sloth Party, shark tooth hunting site extraordinaire. Beautiful megalodon teeth and their angustidens ancestors were again the finds du jour. On the home front, numerous containers and multiple sets of pockets laden with field filthy fossil finds ride home every collecting trip. The sand and dirt back up on the sidewalk next to the hose where the first stage of the cleansing occurs. Strainers with finds drying in the sun line the unoccupied outside of the garage. Inside, already-dried teeth await preprocessing alongside relics and artifacts. Step inside the door and the corners are piled high with boxes of fossils, sorted by site, not yet the stars of their own videos. The counters and table are covered with napkins of twice and thrice cleaned items, waiting to be bagged and tagged. Proceed through the living room and the walls are decorated with past video stars. Stacks of reference books and back issues of American Digger gather dust, waiting to identify the next mystery item to appear on our shovel tips. Down the hallway, rooms are stuffed with shelves stacked floor to ceiling with shark teeth, bones, Native American artifacts, and metal detecting recoveries including buttons, coins, indistinguishable chunks of rust are all boxed, bagged, all organized by site. Some of it you have seen, some of it you haven't. Outside, the bone bed grows daily. New buckets of micro fossil layer appear as each new site comes and goes. Giant blocks of shale stuffed with trilobites fracture with the changing seasons. Giant chunks of crystals and innumerable geodes in their corroding satchels continue to hide their interior treasures. And each day, the hunt goes on, sometimes in tandem, sometimes apart. The drive to collect is strong within the dynamic digging duo.
