I am a Florida Native. Born and raised in the Lakeland- Bartow area. My Dad knew every name of all the trails in Green Swamp and Richloam. He hunted and fished voraciously. He drove his Willys Jeeps and Broncos through the woods with water coming in one door and out the other. I loved to fish the Peace River catching Nile perch.
What awesome memories!
My Dad who passed away 2 years ago to the day at 96 worked at the phosphate mines as did I and my brother still does. I have jars of prehistoric bones and arrowheads.
What a great day!
Love the puppy! Cute boy
Thanks! Sammie loves going everywhere with us.
Great way to attract a hungry gator you brought him a doggy snack.
I guess I was lucky.
I@@OverlandFlorida I enjoyed your video thank you. Ive grown up around gators they are attracted by dogs. I will say I noticed your pup stayed near you and when it was roaming both kept an eye on him. Like that you should be safe.
So miss Fl as I was you when I was in Florida. So it is great to see it again. 009
I just LOVE your dog Sammie.loved her "helping" She behaves so well! This looked like loads of fun
Thanks, she still needs a lot of training. But she's great when shes alone. It was a lot of fun and we will be doing this again!
Thanks for sharing. Looks like fun.
Thanks for watching!
I was there back in 2001, there was a severe drought, we walked most of the river, was awesome to see the river bed without water, great trip, my shark's tooth still hangs in my truck after all these years
I remember that drought. I was in Bartow. But never walked the river.
Watched the whole thing- thanks!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the upload I heard of this place and was looking for it!
Yes, it's a gold mine. Arcadia seems to be better.
This is such a good video thank you very much I enjoyed this
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
That would be so much fun, thanks for showing us how to do it :)
Hey Greg, it's a lot of fun. Thanks for watching.
Y’all should watch Paleocris or Wild Kyle. They fossil hunt in the peace river. It will teach you how to recognize ray plates, turtle skoots, and all kinds of stuff y’all were throwing out. Great video
Thanks for watching!
That big bone is a Smithfield ham
This is so cool! I would love to get some shark teeth. Love seeing your adventures man, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
New subscriber. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks
Thanks, they are getting better and better!
Wow looks like a lot of fun. I will have to dust off the kayaks.
It's a fun adventure.
Looked like a blast!!! Sammy is funny😁👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I used to volunteer at Payne’s Creek State Park. Loads of shark teeth in Peace River.
It's a hidden little park. You're right, tons of sharks teeth.
really impressed with your vlogs young man!....found you recently,,,i live in st pete fl,,,,so im looking forward to visiting the places you have showed us.....Nicole is a sweety btw!
Thankyou for watching. I'm often in Clearwater. Yes, Nicole is a sweetheart.
Sammy looked like he loved!! Very cool shark teeth. Thanks for sharing.
She loved it! She was helping find sharks teeth too!
Sorry Sammy for calling u a he. 😳 Lol
@@woods2creeksoutdoorsdulins448 it's ok. Everyone does it. I even got her a pink collar and everyone says boy.
Cool! One of my first cousins who lives in Florida found a considerable mammoth fossil down there some years back. I can't recall if he found it digging or on a scuba trip (I'll try to ask him). Skull and one tusk, I believe. It was donated to a museum.
If you find out what those larger bones are, let us know.
I'll let you know. There's thousands in the river bed. Thanks for watching.
look in the deeper water for the big megs and along the shore by big tree roots!!!!!!!!! if you ever need someone to go with let me know!! lol I lived down there for 10 years!!! im in the tampa bay area now.
For sure man! When the water level goes back down I'll be back looking.
I wasn't far from you guys. I was volunteering for a clean up.
We didn't find too much trash in out section of the river.
The further down river, the more people access there is. We found countless cans, bottles, styrofoam cups, grocery bags, tires and some things we just could load up on our kayaks and canoes. I pick up trash everytime I kayak. But when you are actually looking for it, you will be surprised.
That is true.
Next time you go through the Bowling Green area I'd highly recommend 'Smokin' Joe's BBQ'. Definitely one of the best BBQ places I've eaten at in FL in my 32 years of living here. Nice video
Yeah. There's also a really good bbq place called smoking Joe's in Lithia.
Overland Florida Yup, that’s right down the street from me so I’m always passing by. I like to get the custom cut steaks from Rick’s which is right next door.
@@glennschmidt8877 I used to date a girl on old welcome road.
I stop by Smokin Joe's every time I have to go to the HCSO range.
Overland Florida oh nice! I’ve never been down there but pass it frequently. That’s sweet you have access to that range. Also, you must be familiar w Alafia. River SP. I just finished watching all of your vids today however I don’t recall seeing one where you go there.
@@glennschmidt8877 I've been there. Theres not much at that park to video lol.
Why do the shark teeth turn black? Man your adventures are awesome. I should be out there with you guys.
Sammy is such a good dog
She is when she chooses to be lol
Can I get a recommendation about first aid kit. galze, tape and merthiolate? Thumbs up on the escort
I’m the last person to give recommendations about first aid lol. Sorry.
Hey, could you recommend an area to give this a try? I have kayaked the Peace river many times and normally dip in / or around Bartow. We live here in Winter Haven and enjoy seeing your post!! I saw this post and it peaked my interest. Already built my screen!! Thanks Ken
Brownville park or Wachulla riverside park.
Thank you.. We will be looking out for you on the chain... 23' Coblat
You have your RUclips name on your canoe! Cool!
I need to send you some of my new decals.
How was the hiking?
@@OverlandFlorida I can't use your decal! I need my own! Lol. I saw your thumb nail and it looks just like my fj with the kayak up top. Then was delighted to see it was you! I just spent the last month on the Appalachian Trail. Not a lot of footage but had a great time. I have to go out with you guys to one of these cool off road kayaking places some day ... And it's about to be too hot for tent camping. May be in the Fall.
And and me all the decals!
@@OverlandFlorida minimal, we ended up in Vermont this year. No rain for the first May in four years!
My buddy found a Megoladon tooth at Venice beach one time.
That seems to be a popular spot!
There and casperson beach are awesome spots for shark teeth
@@91Bronco I never get lucky enough to find them on beaches.
@@OverlandFlorida yeah the Meg tooth he found was when we were swimming around at Venice and he stepped on it and brought it up by his toes and there it was lol. The biggest I have personally found out there is great white teeth
Is there any camping on or around peace river?
just bought a Ram Rebel and want to start doing some overloading. Just do not know where to start. any pointers? I like our videos. am in Orlando.
Don't waste your money on crap you won't use. Spend the money traveling around and invest in nice things you will get your money out of.
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎
As someone not from there, where does the white come from on the teeth? Is it just a matter of cleaning or is it just artificially added later?
Depends on the type of shark it came from.
How come there are megaladon teeth there did they some how travel there is there any history on this?
Well, the entire state of Florida was once under water and the sharks swam freely all over. So if you dig down deep enough in Florida you can find layers from that time period and uncover all kinds of fossils. The peace river just happens to have a lot of gravel sediment and uncover lots of sharks teeth.
Are those bones you found petrified?
2 of them are for sure.
in our family..we turn EVERYTHING into a competition! with sharks teeth, : who finds the most, who finds the biggest, who finds the smallest and the prettiest (subjective) PRIZE? bragging rights!!! also there was not a spot to request which sticker(decal) on my paypal donation?
Hey! I received your payment. Just message me your address. Thank you!
Do you have your ham licence?
Not yet.
@@OverlandFlorida I had mine 30 years ago but I am going to start over.
What part of the peace river is that
I was wondering the same thing. I wish people would give the GPS coordinates or atleast somewhere close.They say go to this part and that part but where is this or that? haha
This section went through Bowling Green.
@@OverlandFlorida Thank you very much.
@@OverlandFlorida Thank you. I was also wondering.
You should throw the baby shark teeth back so that they can have a chance to grow into bigger shark teeth.
Hahaha
