Anybody diving for Megs this winter??

[pond skipper]

Did three dives today, two were in new spots that didn't have anything so I went to a spot that I knew where I found teeth regularly. Here are the two whole teeth that I found. I also found a lot of bone and some broke Megs. The water was rough today! When I started the first two dives the vis was at an amazing 6 ft. But no teeth to be found. By the time I finally changed rivers and got to the bottom, the visibility was still OK, then immediately changed to thickly mudded water for the next 1.5 hours. I worked for these these teeth through a six inch thick covering of sea squirts (thats what they call them here). .

Good work I would say, those are nice teeth. Sounds like some of the harbour dives I do up here.

I still have my house in Rincon so maybe I need to combine a trip and do diving too. I'll holler at you when I get ready to come for a visit.

The first Meg I saw was about 15 years ago. The guy was a collector and said he had always wanted a giant sharks tooth. He said he had finally broken down and bought one. He said he paid $300 for it and asked me if I wanted to see it. Well I said yes and he went to the back of the home to get it. I had no idea what I was getting ready to see but I knew he had paid what to me was a LOT of money for something called a giant sharks tooth. He brought it out and showed it to me with a HUGE smile on his face as if he was showing me something from another planet. I could tell how proud he was of it so I MADE A REALLY, REALLY, BIG DEAL OUT OF IT.

Now secretly I was thinking this guy must be out of his mind. He had paid good money, which in my world is hard as hell to come by, for this clunky old sharks tooth. I did not tell him but I thought he had been taken. BIG TIME.

Well things have change a lot since then and I have been known to purchase sharks teeth. Seems it is a personal thing.
