Since it's 41 degrees outside, there is a low chance a gator would be in the water. Edit: They go into brumation if it's cold enough, basically don't move unless it warms up. If they can bask to warm up they will but slipping into the water would undo the heating up they just did quite quickly.
I found your channel yesturday while watching other random fossil channels,. I must admit i dont normaly watch the american videos… because i get too jealous of how many you guys find and how easily !!! 😣😂🤣. But i watched one of your videos and i was hooked. (And not just because you are handsome as f€$k) because you give great info on what you find and you make your videos entertaining as well as informative. I have since subbscribbed and making my way through your videos. Great channel and your not bad to look at eathier ! Thats my weekend sorted. 😁🤩. Thank you for uploading these vids and taking us with you. ❤️
I'm surprised at how big those pone teeth are. These would be 10k years old at the youngest, long before the introduction of equus cabalus in the mid 15 hundreds? Would that mean they're from before or around the megafauna that died out at the end of the Ice Age? I haven't a clue about this stuff despite going to school for equine studies. SO freaking cool. Coolest job ever. Inspired me to go look some stuff up and I thank you for that.
We met you today at snook haven boat ramp today. We subscribed and are becoming fossil nerds loving all your content! Might book a black gold charter also! Stay safe and good luck out there!
We go down to southern Baja and there’s a little area of cliffs that we find all manner of fossils. It’s truly beautiful and exciting to find them. You can keep your gators, lol, I’ll stick to dry land and rattle snakes 🤙🏼
Although your description is misleading I still found the video to be enjoyable. I would imagine that you're in the Peace River collecting these fossils it is an amazing thing to do.
Thank you. Peace is one of the many rivers and creeks we hunt. Thursday brought a historical find, so we'll fast-track that as our next video and work backwards through this last season
I was actually expecting to see a Great White shark appear in the video, the moment you dived into the poor vis water I thought how bad that would be if a Great white or an alligator came out of nowhere.
Great finds and video ! I like the ID’s that you have pop up showing what you find, but could you make them a bit smaller ? They take up a lot of screen space and cover up your finds.
I was just curious where do you start looking. I know you said at the beginning of the video that you go to isolated places where people don't go. Once you find your spot, thereafter finding one fossil there must be tons of it after that.
Hey, love the channel, great stuff. We were wondering where abouts in Florida this was, and also why you don't seem afraid of alligators? Have you ever seen them while under water?!
South Central FL there. There is no fear of alligators when the water is that cold. But it's one of those things you just need to be aware of when you are in the water. Outside of April they aren't aggressive animals. I have never come face to face fully immersed in water but I just started doing more than standing and sifting this year. I have several friends who have. Just stay aware and smart... but keep living 😁
Good vids but would would be better without the tunes. The plague made me miss my Punta Gorda home this year but your vids helped. I'm an older version of you, minus the muscles of course, but have been doing the same stuff as you for the past ten years and hopefully 10 more. Might see ya in a creek next winter. Cheers!
@@iHUNTdeadThings - when a buck drops his antlers, they usually include a small portion of bone below the rosette, that bumpy ring at the base of the antler. The shape tells me this was a naturally shed antler vs one which was either broken off during the rut or simply broke away from the skull of a dead animal.
Every channel I have subscribe at 4 thousand and something has grown hugely. Okay there is one but it a different kind of channel. Love your style of videos stay safe and 🌹throphy. You are going to find a great wow soon.
I really hope this channel follows that trend. As a full-time worker with a family, I would love to make this my full-time job. As it is I get out every other weekend. If people share and subscribe, and really enjoy the videos, and it grows... I could be living my version of "the dream"
Just curious what have you achieved through this work im thinking you must be earning a good living to continue doing it. Ps I watched the Alligator attack Caught live on Go pro tbh that's what made me a subscriber. Ps that man that lived to tell his story about how the Gator attacked him he was one lucky man as the sheer pressure that their jaws have it's amazing his scull was not poped as 3000 pounds per square inch of pressure if astounding. Kudos to him for meeting you and going back to that horrible place and it's was a great insight into how aggressive the Gators can be and also you found that full lower jaw of something that lived a very long time ago. Well done buds.
Appreciate it man. I haven't really earned anything but absolutely love doing it. The fossils do have value, but I work a full time job and have 3 kids and a wife, so I am really usually hunting like every other weekend. That viral video did actually create some money from ads though! First time that's happened! I would love to do this for a living but really my channel would have to be huge to be able to cover my current job.
@@iHUNTdeadThings Thank you sir for answering my question and you would have thought that finding certain fossils would be financially beneficial but it's obvious that there's a lot more involved in it and like you said you have a family of four to provide for and i just want to thank you for your honesty. And fingers crossed you come across something that is a one in a million find that puts big money in your bank so you can enjoy doing the things you love. Ps awesome channel great content and finding things one would never believe could be in that environment. Cheers my man 👍👊💙 the content.
@@iHUNTdeadThings That is fantastic if it's the most well-preserved fossil of a whale's jaw that you found it should be worth a pretty penny and you did It helping others instead of just thinking about yourself that is indeed a noble and kind thing you did. And I believe you were rewarded with that fine specimen of jaw and a full set of teeth. Now you should put it on some site if a young girl can put a dorito that is puffed on e_bay and it got to $20 thousand dollars im sure you would be able to get plenty but its the waiting you might not have the time to sit on it so I hope you get a good price for your work My man. Fingers crossed you are like this when you get a quote on it 🤑.
I came prepared to say that's not a great white, it's a bull shark. Tooth in the title would have made all the difference. I do respect the fact that you are clearly an expert and know what you are talking about, an interesting video.
It's crazy but 2 of you said something about the title in the last 12 hours and nobody has said anything about that for 3 or 4 months since it was released. I did just spot a bull shark on the peace river 2 weeks ago. But if I find a fossil It's a discovery because I'm keeping it lol. Probably gets a few extra clicks for sure. The only thing that fossilizes with sharks is their teeth and on rare occasion a vertebrae which is probably why we rarely say tooth in our circle. I will say my very first video was titled megalodon found and it's not a great video but got nearly 10,000 views in a couple days. It wasn't until I found it shared on Facebook did I realize people were expecting I found a live version of the shark that has been extinct 3 million years 😁 I do hope you enjoyed the video. More crazy stuff coming out soon.
Thank you! I can't WAIT to get more content out. It's hunting season (river) and today was a GOOD day on the ocean. Hopefully the upcoming vids make it worth it.
I am running with a tactical helmet with a light clipped on both sides. They are small but powerful but honestly my biggest problem right now. I need a better light. They shut off entirely pretty quickly. I did however just get in "snapmounts" for my gopro im very excited to use. Makes switching the gopro to different locations super fast.
It's FWC here in Fla.. they are fair game and there's actually a market for them meat wise, apparently they send them back to Wherever in Asia they're from, a delicacy.. I've seen boatloads of them cast netted around lake O, fish-houses buy em.. hope they wipe em out! (non-native)
What is the going rate for a megalodon tooth? I always wanted to buy one or several but am scared of being taking for a ride. Any reputable places to buy from that you recommend?
generally $20-$10,000 based on size quality and color. I recommend our frequent captain on a lot of these videos, Captain Nastasio you can get him on his facebook page
Seeing all of the bones / vertebrae on the river botton tells me these animals didn't drown while swimming. They came to the waters edge for a drink, or attempted to swim across. The ancestors of the present day alligator ate them. I won't swim there ...
It's actually usually soil from the banks that the water has cut into, and filtered out for us to find in a smaller area. I can say that this location was not a historical river, but at one time was ocean and another time land.
All credible sources show the great white has existed for over 400 million years. Depending on conditions fossilization can occur within 10,000 years. Paleontologists all agree with 100% certainty great white sharks existed and swam over what is now Florida and there are still many great white teeth to be uncovered. If it's something that interests you we can definitely refer books to further any studies.
What geological era is this? Pleistocene? Never mind--I asked my question before you say Pleistocene. I'm a fossil hunter out of Austin Texas. Mostly Cretaceous stuff.
Did you guys see the guy diving for fossils in the Peace or Myaka.a week or two ago grabbed by the entire head by an alligator.He said he is not doing that s-*t no more.(hahaha) google it🙏❤️😘🤗☀️👊✌️☝️💪🗽🇺🇲
Dude that's out latest videos... we went to look for his gopro and found a sperm whale jaw among other things. We released the footage of the attack too...
@@iHUNTdeadThingsI watched it.I lived there for 30 years on Cato Costa Don Pedro Island state ark,Palm Island.We Have 5 gallon buckets of megalodon teeth and 20 Peanut butter jars of shark teeth come the river and a spring that spits out on the beach by the ski alley across from Stump Pass Marina.Let me know if y'all wants some located Togo search they are are lot safer than them gator dens.
This heading flirts with "click bait".. you don't need to do that you're legit before you have to do s like that! I F HATE CLICKBAIT IT LEAVES ME FEELING DECIEVED AND THATS B.S.
One of those titles that was never seen as click bait until the channel started gaining traction. Since fossil hunters know all that can fossilize is the teeth saying tooth feels silly to us. But now that it blew up and people got bent out of shape I added the word (teeth) but it feels silly still as a fossil hunter lol
