Jurassic Coast Fossil Hunting 

Thanks 🙏 it’s so much fun with the sieves we really enjoyed it yesterday. It does need working at and as you put in the effort more and more finds come to light as you well know .

Thanks 🙏 very much for that . Even if your not finding a lot you can really search for the baby Ammonites and just getting one is a lot of fun .

Thanks very much karsten I really appreciate that .

Thanks very much we had some good weather and some good finds so it’s been lucky times

Thanks for that it’s very nice in good weather

I bring home my iron pyrites Ammonites and soak them in a bucket of fresh water 💦 I keep changing the water over the days . Then I dry them out for weeks and varnish them to protect them from the air .

@@LymeRegisFossils thanks for the reply. I think paraloid resin is quite popular for the pyrite ammonites but I've never tested it myself as Yorkshire ammonites fortunately tend to be a bit more resistant to pyrite decay.

@@danc101 Pyryte decay is always a problem, and I think you canßt even stop ist. I lost many pyrite ammonites by decay, so thats the reason to come back and find new ones :-)

I think karsten is ultimately right . The charmouth heritage centre have quite a lot of interesting information about iron pyrites decay

@@karstengenzel7839 maybe so, I suppose using some paraloid as a precaution wouldn't really do any harm 👍

Thanks very much that Is yesterday and the fossil hunt we did to the east beach at low tide - near Lyme Regis

@@LymeRegisFossils I recognise the spot, my boys found a couple last time we went. I’m sure they would love to try this next time

Your video the other day at this location I noticed the rock we sat and had lunch on 🥰

I just put into the computer “ potting sieve “ these size wise are ideal . You know how heavy a big scoop full of iron pyrites can be .

@@LymeRegisFossils lol I bet it gets heavy 💪 I’ll have a look into them thank you 🙏

Thanks very much it’s really beautiful along that coast so many special places to see! I hope you can get over here one day . It’s certainly very different this place

I’ve only tried it East and West of Lyme Regis so far - at low tide . I have become addicted to the sieving as you never know what your going to sieve up next .

We had one or two days on the fossil walks in July where we had a paddle

You can certainly use just about any sieves you like and it will pay dividends. The larger the sieve whole though and you do get some little ammonites escape 😆🌀

@@LymeRegisFossils don’t say that I’ll go with a load of different sieves 💪😜🤣🤣

I will give you some sieves when you get to Lyme Regis , the potting sieves are on me 🤠🌀🌊😆

@@LymeRegisFossils aww thank you much appreciated 🙏 I’ll bring you something along 💪 Do you have a fossil shop?

Yes , I have a fossil shop at 7 Drakes Way, Lyme Regis! Just “ rock “ up to the shop and I will get you some fossil collecting kit , sieves and scoop. Keep up the good work with your posts on RU-vid, cheers

Very well spotted that Ichthyosaur vert , I found the little ammonites that’s why I was banging on about them . My wife who put in a great few hours effort came up suits the top trump / the vert

Suits = WITH the top trump the vert

@@LymeRegisFossils not knocking the little ammonites btw, I love finding them, but the vert is like gold! I thought you were teasing us, explaining how you were sorting through the sieve,…with the vert in plain sight, I was thinking, “hurry up, stop winding me up!!” Can you do a short video on how your wife found the vert and some close ups would be ace! 👍🏻

Thanks for the encouragement that’s a really good idea about how my wife found the vert as a video ! Thanks for that I will try and do that for a film 🎥 one day . My wife is a hard working nurse so never appears in the films just having a relaxing time off work really .

@@LymeRegisFossils she can be off camera, I understand the reluctance 😀
