This is one of my favorite megalodon teeth I have ever dug. It was a stroke of luck to find it at all. My friend da f0ssZ and I had gotten on the list to hunt the Lee Creek mine and we were planning on driving up to Aurora for the weekend but there was a chance that we could get into the pit instead of the spoil piles and we waited for the confirmation of where we would be. The weather there had been dry and without rain, hunting the piles would not have been a fruitful venture. The pit was a different story though because it was so big that there was always a chance to find something there, even without rain. Just a few hours before we were set to leave, we got the word that the pit was out so we would be hunting the piles and we decided to roll the dice and stay in town to explore for a spot to dig here. That was big chance to take because the old timers always said "a bad day collecting in Aurora is better than a good day anywhere else". Usually that was true! Sweet Lady Cles smiled on us though and we ended up rolling up on a brand new dig where a crew we knew was doing the work so they gave us the nod to collect and it turned out to be an amazing spot. Not only did I find this killer, but also the meg I posted here not too long ago, another smaller one, plus a load of smaller teeth. My homie df found a screamer too. Nowadays I don't think we would make the same decision - I miss going to Aurora and I would happily hunt those piles again! Who knows, maybe the powers that be will hear my whining and let collectors in again. Regardless, this amazing Summerville megalodon tooth will always be linked to Lee Creek in my head!
