I love how jovial Steve is. He's definitely a guy with an enthusiasm for life!
Look at all the cool shells crunch crunch crunch
Hi!
I'm also a fossil hunter.
I don't know if someone have already explained it, but the shell you showed around 5:49 belongs to an extant bivalve, whose scientific name is Isognomon.
The shell that was found around 13:18 is a complete Turritella gastropod.
Regards,
This is some awesome places. Wish I could find places like this here for my kids.
First, thanks for sharing on this adventure. Back in 1967 I found my fossil in Belton Lake,Texas. Never was able to find out what it was called but it was a memory I cherish because my dad bought identical rod and reels,one for him and me. Was able to date fossil to around 50 million years. When Texas had an inland sea that cut through North America. Keep them coming 'chig, I'm right there with you every time you make a discovery. Enjoying each adventure.
I'm so glad I found this channel a few weeks ago the videos make me so happy just seeing other parts of the world and the amazing history is so cool!! your personality just makes them 10X better!!
So jealous! I'd love to go searching there for shells, fossils, etc.
Love fossil hunting! My first find was a Trilobite when I was 7. Found it in a rock quarry in Indiana. That was ages ago.
People like you guys, who find such unbridled enjoyment in the natural world, really give me hope for all of our futures.
.I would love to collect some of those shells. They are so beautiful. If I were there I'd bring home half the beach full. You are very lucky to have seen the fossils. Way to go Aquachigger.
I've been watching this channel for a little over two years now and a absolutely love it! It is so interesting!
Me two
Aquachigger where were u in this video
You certainly have a colorful collection of friends! I guess with a personality like yours, everyone just loves ya! I definitely enjoy your vids!
hey there, I'm a kid from Canada and I love your videos. I always go out to the nearby river to collect fossils. you've inspired me to go out there and find more fossils. thanks! 🐢☺☺
Chigg you should go dive the Cooper river above Charleston SC. Fossilized shark's teeth bigger than your hand. Megalodon shark's teeth not deep 25-35 ft. also civil war wrecks one of the coolest dive's I've been on.
+Aquachigger id be bringing back boxes of those shells and putting them on ebay
+Aquachigger those whole shells gotta be worth minimum $20 a pop,you should put on toa buffer wheel and see what it comes up like
+Aquachigger you should come to the Berlin lake or Atwood lake in ohio
I'm up state SC. Would love to go there. Always wanted to find a Megalodon tooth. COOL
+Steve Foster It's shallow you can stay forever on the bottom. Look for the gravel patches. If your hunting in mud bottom you want find anything The Ediso river is also good not hunted as heavy as the Cooper. There are charter boats to take you out hunting.
Steve looks like a all around great person. always smiling... do more vids with him. great vid as always chigger..
I am giddy at all the fossils! Love this one!
I loved those scallop shells, how cool! I'd love to look around those places that you guys stopped at.
What an amazing site! I kept seeing pieces I wanted to investigate... Fingers were itching ;)
Omg! I'm loving you taking us along on this trip! Please collect some extra whale ears and teeth and do a giveaway! Lol! My favorite travels vlogs ever!!
that is a really cool place, my daughter would go crazy collecting those BIG Clam shells. Amazing how many are in that Wall. thanks for sharing.
Great video bud keep them coming me and my daughters love them
I just figured it out. Your voice sounds EXACTLY like Owen Wilson!
He does!!!
I've had the exact same thought. Just a little less "lazy" tho...
He kind of sounds like Tom Mabe.
I was thinking that the whole video! I only went to the comments to see if someone else had noticed also haha
Uhm are you on
crack cocaine??
🙈😝....
They sound nothing alike
😂🤣....
Thank you for posting your fossil expedition!
(sees a complete dinosaur skeleton) NOOO I'LL PASS I HAVE LIKE 50 OF THOSE
Hey Aquachigger, my uncle is a retired paleontologist and based on what he has taught me and my fascination with prehistoric nature, those shells are est. 1500 years old based on the coloration and how far they are buried in the sediment. just thought I would let you know as a fun fact!
Im a fossil hunter Ive collected everything your buddy showed you on this video. Fossil hunting for over twenty years.
yep It looks amazing.
Shark teeth are my thing!
I love Sharks teeth. I have thousands of many of species of different time periods.
Cool! Where all have you searched? The vast majority of mine were found at Myrtle Beach, SC.
pennsylvania, NJ, MD, VA, WVA,North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Deleware.
The clam shell with the barnacles on it was really cool.
Ive watched this video multiple times and it is mind boggling to me... I wonder what kind of itty bitty fossils are there too... Wow...wow...wow!! Sure would like to spend one day there!
"How many shells do you really need?" Remember that when you pick up the civil war ones. ;-)
Too bad you came 3 million years too late. With a lot of garlic butter, these St Jacques shells would have made a nice treat :p Great light for a day to enjoy !
Long time fossil hunter here, probably know where you guys were. The bone you found around 15:00 is one side joint end of something's lower jaw. That's my ideal hunting experience!
That bone @ 8:11 is from a Gafftop Catfish. It is the plate at the top of the back where the top fin is located. I have some modern ones, but that one looks like it is petrified. Cool!
Very cool vid lad we have an area over hear in Ireland like that we call the shelly banks but wow never knew they might be fossils just taught they washed up in floods thanks for showing us.
The scallop shells are Chesapecten jeffersonius, the Virginia State Fossil. It's been a long time since I've been out there, but I believe that strata is the Rushmere Member of the Yorktown Formation of Pliocene age (5.3-2.6 mybp).
Watched again. Cool stuff. All I been doing hour after hour for the last two weeks sometimes with the family is watching all ya videos lol. It's driving them mad I think. Ha ha. Back to work soon anyway.
Nice hard to hunt out the good stuff but could be fun..thanks Beau
You have a blessed life in a beautiful place...you lucky guy !
“How many shells do you really need, ya know?”
Says the guy who never passes up a mini ball. 🤣
Cool place. Hard not to come home with buckets full of finds
love your enthusiasm. amazing spot!
I got stuff like this in my backyard. but I live in Kansas where the Permian sea once was.
Same here
Firearm Fiasco I live in the state right above you
Your expertise in civil war artillery is outstanding. Perhaps you should consider at this point writing a book on it.
awesome hunt i could spend months combing that beach without getting bored.
Not too many shells here, mostly Trilobites and ferns. Wow, what a fun place to gawk at zillions of fossils. Seemed to be mostly the same type of shell though. Thanks for the trip.
This vid reminded me of that old tongue-twister for some reason.
'Sally sells seashells by the sea shore.'- Seems like a bad location to try and sell whats laying around everywhere.
I could sit in one spot there and be content to look around me. It is carpeted with so many goodies!!!!
I know that spot! I love that part of the state! All my family lives in that county. Nice chesapectin Jeffersonas!
picks up shell " I like it!" tosses the shell
That is incredible...that otolith especially. I live in west Somerset and we get cool fossils but that place is on another level! You ever want to send some of those on a visit to the UK let me know lol
I had no clue such a place existed. You would never see such well put shells here near the Gulf of Mexico, FL. But my sister manages to find shark teeth all the time!
Wow that's allot of fossils!! Way to much fun..
I've been fossil hunting since I was 4. im 13 now and I still love the feeling of finding a fossil
Awesome... I hope you get to dive that site
More like this! Awesome!
Finding that whole shell was awesome!!!
That's a huge concentration of shells. You could spend days searching.
There's sections of beaches here and there all over the Great Lakes like that. Fossils all stuck together in what looks like concrete. Western part of Lake Superior has a lot.
If you're looking for C.Megalodon teeth, also look for chunks of whale bones with Megalodon teeth marks.
I love it! Please make more like this
This is just the kind of video i was looking forward to at the end of today
Wat a wonderful place, almost like in the Jules Verne books i red when i was a kid.
If one where alowed to pick the fosils there i had probalby not be able to walk back after a visit there... :D
Just the thought of fossils gives me goosebumps.Id be thrilled beyond measure to find one.Good going and I haven't even watched the whole video yet!
There's a face on that whale inner ear bone
+Candy Santillo I was yelling at you not to forget that whole shell ! LOL! And THEN you leave the second one?!? What are the odds of finding a three million old creature intact?I nearly cried every time you threw something back.Oh,geez. I guess that I should get a life instead of living vicariously!Ahahaha I can't tell you what a kick I get from your videos.Thank you for sharing something I would have never seen.I must admit the crunching caused me pain
That is cool, I could spend days camping and fossil hunting there :)
Same here!!😀
wow amazing never seen anything like that not even on the descovery channels nice one beau
Love it, 5:32 looks like a big sharks tooth !!!!!
What fun! I loved that!!! Would be a fun thing to do with kids.
Sweet spot.Man I could hang out there for days.
awesome video thanks man I really enjoy your stuff
Oh my gosh that was cool! Frustrating though, because I kept seeing things and wanting to get a closer look. ;)
the scallops with the holes can make cool wind chimes
gosh I love this.. I wish there were places like that here to snope around :'))
Your best video yet, thanks!
great hunt Thank you take care
Great Videos you produce. I like how you like to hit all areas of history.
I knew of a spot like this one but unfortunatly it's being dug out for the sand, you could find all kinds of bones from different marine animals, all kinds of shells and even whale poo. I would love to visit that spot though.
It looks like there was some coral in there, sometimes I'll find fossilized coral on the beach, and it always looks so neat, I have a few pieces in my room, I also have shells covered in spikes I found deep in the woods
5:50 'I like it' *dump it on the ground*
This is fantastic! I'm super jealous!
I agree and why did you put a sexual pic
Nice piece of drift wood? Id say more like Yoda's cane!
I would love those shells. Bit of a collector.
+Aquachigger Your so lucky to be able to go to a site like that! Beau-ti-ful!!!!!!
omg would love to walk about there and just get overwhelmed by the shells beauty xD
I love hunting fossils and this would be my dream to go somewhere that I could find this stuff!
when you faund that small ear i saw a wailes toth
steve is a very joyfull guy.
I like him.
What an extraordinary place!
Another great video Chigg.
Steve is such a good character! :)
cool place. I think I saw a 4m year old go-pro embedded in the cliff too. How weird!
Aquachigger I am fairly familiar with the marine fossils from the MD and VA areas. That conical shell was "Turitella" I have found arrowheads in those same areas. When the colonists came here the first fossil described and published was on of those big scallop shells you were seeing in such abundance. "Chesapectens" is the name for that.
I'd love to go there. Beautiful
You can spend years picking through all the shells, there are rare breeds
haha that one bone at 8:08 looks exactly like a squirrel.
Awesome video, if I was there I wouldn't want to leave
Wow that is a Fantastic place, I wish I could go there, I collect fossils, rocks, different shapes of rock & wood pieces.
I have a fossil finger & a fossil shell, mine looks a lot different then those.
The best I have found for sharks teeth when I lived up there, Was Calvert Cliffs!.
You can just tell Steve is a great person! Great video buddy!
ive seen a steinkern with iron pyrite embedded in it so, yeah you can find some fossils with a metal detector.
This is incredible!
The ladybug was a great find 😄
Wow, that would be a great place to take elementry school kids. Great video Beau. Thank your friend for me.
Thats like a dream come true for me!
