Hands down THE BEST fossil related channel on RUclips. You deserve the highest of praise for the educational, respectful, content you deliver. I love your passion man, NEVER STOP!
I live in PHX arizona and I can go outside right now and find endless sea shells in the dirt. Its crazy to imagine that arizona was under water at one point.
I can relate so much to this work it takes to get to some of these spots. Lugging tanks over logs sand shoals then spending the day fighting currents under water, then going back out when you are exhausted now carrying an additional 50-60 pounds of fossils. But it’s all worth it to me! I’m hoping to stay fit enough to keep doing it another 10-15 years. This is an amazing area, Very cool. Leave some fossils for the rest of us!
Always great to see a new Digging Science video. By the way -- I personally like the voiceovers. I've lived in Florida my entire life, and I've learned a bunch more about our geology from watching these videos. I know the voiceovers are way more work and add a ton of time to editing, but I think they work for your content. On that same note, I thought the "Dig This" bumpers were a nice addition. Watching the channel evolve and find its groove has been cool. Thanks for all of your hard work, and best of luck on your future dives 🦣
I just wanted to say that I for one don't mind the voiceovers. My eyes are not trained enough to know what half the stuff is that you're picking up. I can tell that they're vertebrate of some sort and maybe parts of tortoise shells? But I'm not sure,. So, voice overs, or at least text on the screen, saying what it is you're picking up, I personally find to be very helpful and interesting.
I was thinking you might be able to build a makeshift raft to float those verts to an access point, but then you reminded me of the portages you'd face. I think you found about two thirds of half a dozen whales there lol. You need to get Joe out there to find a whole skull and then have him downplay it as "mostly okay". Those Megs were absolute honeys!
What an awesome episode, really good, enjoyed every minute. So much interesting information and really liked when you showed the difference in tooth size between the Great White and Meg, unbelievable. One of your best episodes, loved it, thank you. 👍👌🦈🐋
Imo your videos are fascinating, educational, exciting, fun. I could go on, but needless to say I enjoy them very much. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, and saving all that natural history.
Just a HUGE THANK YOU for all the exploring!! Plus your passion for science is contagious & fun to watch!! Again, thanks so much!! Love from Maine (where I hope to find my first shark tooth)
What do you do with all your finds, such as the vertebrae? Very awesome channel. You are a true adventurer and I love going with you to see your finds. 🤗❤️
Hey, you likely won’t see this but if you do, I would love a video where you showed your fossil collection. Where you keep the stuff? Do you display your favorites? How it’s organized, that kind of thing
One day we will, problem is that we display our fossils at a lot of local museums spread across Florida and the Southeast so it's hard to do a video of our whole collection.
Loved watching you haul out all the whale bones 👍🏻 Even liked your joke 😆… you were so tired. What an amazing trip. The shark teeth are incredible! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"Wow, that's crazy!": What I said to myself over and over throughout this video! Thanks, as well, for NOT editing the various processes involved in the hunt that brought you these treasures. It's all good!
mariana trench has a depth so deep that the pressure creates kind of a like salty brine mixture which looks like a second ocean under the water. im pretty sure somewhere on this earth there is a place where there is a perfectly preserved megaladon carcass just chillen. down so deep its like almost frozen but the salt keeps it preserved. that would be awesome... just fantastic wishes i guess...
I can dig it man! I am also a rescue Shepard and for me, it's ancient peoples projectile points, old glass bottles, marbles, fossils, civil war objects, etc...if it's old and lost, I'm hauling it home. Good stuff, keep digging my friend!
Great Video Brother, and I'm very impressed with your Knowledge of The Whales. I learned a lot from you about The Disc Fusing to The Bone. Thanks a TON for all of your Videos, and you stay safe out there Brother........🙏🏾👍🏾🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾
An absolutely amazing video, well worth the wait. I commend you on your insane efforts of going through the trouble to obtain these fascinating fossils. Good luck on any future finds! 👍
I was wondering where you have been lately because you haven’t made too many videos recently, however it was well worth the wait, this was one of the best videos you have ever made! Thank you for teaching me so much!
When I was a much younger man in the Navy at NAS Jax, I belonged to the North East Florida Anthropological Asso. We dug many native culture sites but some of our members were into fossils. I got interested and when I went home to Georgia, I went to the Ga. Power dam at Albany Ga. I found a five foot fishbone in the lime sediment behind the dam. I thought I had found a tusk except for the very fine point on the bone. I gave it to a friend and have no idea what kind of fish it was, but it had to be huge.
Wow I just happened to run into you. What an incredible collection you gathered in one trip. I explore myself for anything unusual or old in and around the waterways. I don't have anything like this near me. You are very fortunate. I'd wish you'd Take Someone with you in case you get hurt or in some kind of trouble. Thanks for sharing. It must be a good feeling to find these treasures of the past. 😉
This was great! I feel like I learn so much after watching your videos!! Thank you! Was this dive still in FL? Didn’t seem like you were worried about gators on this one.
I love your show. I would give anything to be able to do what uou are doing. I am 50 Yeats old and have been a fossil geek for most all those years !! Great show.
wow, old scuba diver here. how I wasted my time diving here in Maine when I could have been finding sharks teeth in Florida. so much wasted time. now at 70, I'm dragging a wooly Mammel through my back yard up to the house and scrubbing rocks. found 3 teeth so far and a lot more unknown body parts. which is why I began watching you. I can't learn enough so I know what I am not seeing and what I'm finding.
Really enjoy your vids, have been subscribed for a couple of years now. I'm honestly surprised you've not been picked-up for documentary TV work, I expect to see you on the box in the future though...
Keep up the great work man! Hands down Some of my favorite content to watch! I recently got into fossil hunting but I can only manage a few trips to Florida each year. Watching videos like these get me absolutely PUMPED for my next trip 😄 Also, I would be curious to see your tooth cleaning process. I’ve seen a few methods and wasn’t sure the best one was. But you do an excellent job tidying them up. Would love to learn from the master 😉
Subbed to your channel. First video I ever watched of yours. So happy I found you. Great content. Those connected whale vertebrae were incredible. I def envy what you do but and appreciative that I can at least enjoy it through your great videos. Thank you!
Oh man what an awesome journey you took my son I don’t know of any show where they had that much vertebralis come out of a single dive fantastic keep it up and show us everything when you get it cleaned up get you down the road
I used to slice my knees up like crazy in some of the rivers hunting fossils, what I found most convenient was the small inner tubes from tire stores. You just cut out a couple of about 2 foot sections and slide them up over the knees and it'll save your knees and wet suits. A lot of people use knee pads, but the inner tubes feel more natural. That's some awesome stuff. I guess there's not much of a current, I wear the disposable cleaning gloves so you can still feel and I'm always feeling everything. And anything that has a straight edge to it grab that, because it's always either a meg or a whale bone. I found my two biggest from feeling, one from seeing the edge that looked straight, and the other I didn't see at all. Those were both 6 3/4. Most people wouldn't think that that 3/4 makes much a difference, but it's insane how big teeth that size are. That Yorktown formation is famous for giant teeth too. The second 6 3/4 I found I wS so sure it was a 7, because it was just such a wide and thick tooth and I knew it looked so much bigger than the other one that size. Keep up the awesome work man. Those teeth do clean up beautifully.
Love your videos , the remote locations and the risk involved with the gators sharing the same waters you swim in !! I appreciate the hard work of getting them all back to the truck as well ... Good job Mr. and Keep em' coming ! :-)
I wonder, it would freak me out going back to a previous location. Stirring up all the little morsels of food for a larger predator to move in, I'd be concerned with coming face to snout with a larger alligator! Great finds, you make me jelly!

There is something about people getting really excited while scuba diving that is just hilarious. The weird muffled excitement. I love it

Damn John that is insane. I never seen so many verts on a trip. Awesome. Sleeping in the car is worth it.💯
What a great hunt! Thank you for sharing this with us. Amazing! Simply AMAZING!!!
I absolutely loved this show. I love it when you find teeth, all kinds of teeth. Thanks for sharing.
I haven't watched the full video yet but I already know this is going to be a banger.
Found your channel today and subscribed.Really interesting and a change from my usual rabbit holes.✌️🇬🇧
So glad you found us and cannot wait to share more with you!
@@DiggingScience Thanks 🙏
Another awesome video! Well worth the wait, thank you Jonathan.
I can 100% agree that it’s always the best at the end of the search. It was like that at Montbrook. It’s like that at my current job as well.
Enjoyed every minut of it!! Glad you also showed all the work collecting the vertabrae. A fantastic adventure!
Outstanding trip! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for preserving history.

Loved watching you haul out all the whale bones 👍🏻 Even liked your joke 😆… you were so tired.
What an amazing trip. The shark teeth are incredible! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Maybe a folding cart with bike tires would help you get around faster.
"Wow, that's crazy!": What I said to myself over and over throughout this video! Thanks, as well, for NOT editing the various processes involved in the hunt that brought you these treasures. It's all good!
Thnx for the great video
What a great job! I so enjoy following along with you and enjoy the info you provide. Thanks!

* Great way to begin a Video.. That Tooth was Magnificent ! ! ~ I Love to learn, so I love your "Voice Overs".. Keep them up..
I was so happy this was a longer video! Thanks for sharing the adventure!
I can dig it man! I am also a rescue Shepard and for me, it's ancient peoples projectile points, old glass bottles, marbles, fossils, civil war objects, etc...if it's old and lost, I'm hauling it home. Good stuff, keep digging my friend!

Love it Bud 💗🤗 Be careful and safe and GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏💗
Love the video Looks a lot different from Florida river diving.
An absolutely amazing video, well worth the wait. I commend you on your insane efforts of going through the trouble to obtain these fascinating fossils. Good luck on any future finds! 👍

Not in florida, mostly in NC. Away from the choppy bois.
Thanks once again, Jonathan. It would be great to see what the cleaning process is like some time.
I love your show. I would give anything to be able to do what uou are doing. I am 50 Yeats old and have been a fossil geek for most all those years !! Great show.
Holy cow you are so cool!!!! I love watching you dive and look for fossils! I love the teeth! You make my day
Genius! Great stuff my Freind!

Wow this was soooo amazing. Loved the adventure and what you found was extraordinary!!!
Fun adventure and educational 😊and kind of scray under the water. First time watching thumbs up 😊

My God thw teeth you got this trip! A big well done here from a UK subscriber.
Where I’m Florida you at or do your searching.. nice video and very interesting
Beautiful color tooth♥️🦈♥️
That was so cool!! Loved it all.
Subbed to your channel. First video I ever watched of yours. So happy I found you. Great content. Those connected whale vertebrae were incredible. I def envy what you do but and appreciative that I can at least enjoy it through your great videos. Thank you!
Thank you! Can't wait to share more and make sure to check out some of our older videos!
you should post the measurements of your larger megs! I'd love to know how they compare to record breaking sizes
Good vid. Great finds
What an absolutely marvelous trip!! I have a couple of nice meg teeth that I purchased, but finding one in person is near the top of my bucket list.
Oh man what an awesome journey you took my son I don’t know of any show where they had that much vertebralis come out of a single dive fantastic keep it up and show us everything when you get it cleaned up get you down the road
Good day. Wow, you are so lucky to know your fossils. Watching your videos are awesome. I wish I could come with you.
Must be such a rush finding those Megalodon teeth. I'm buzzing when I find a tooth from the Barton beds here in the UK!

It’s all good, really enjoy all the footage.
Amazing finds! So happy for you and...jealous... 😂
Epic video!! Unbelievable!! 🤯🤯🤯
Actually it's kinda cool to see the process you have to go through to bring some of these back and its not always easy to bring back what you do find
your videos are insane bruh
Always cool see what ya find but those megs damn
Oh my God, what an absolutely spectacular hunt. I am beyond jealous. Wow, just wow.
I love videos like this ,
bravo young man
Epic video, you found the right spot. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome stuff buddy
Amazing finds😊❤
Im loving this channel and the education!
U should get a net for big stuff like that and pull them all up at once
Awesome finds! Do you dive alone or is someone on the boat with you?
