I found some cool finds this day.  First I found a cool Gomphotherium tooth.  I also found some top quality Megalodon teeth.  One of my coolest finds ever was this double tipped tooth.  It was a great day of diving. .. … [Read More...]

prehistoric pastime Local man dives for megalodon shark teeth. By Caitlyn Boza Brian County News - 12/14/11 On a foggy winter morning in Midway, Bill Eberlein dons a thick neoprene wetsuit and an oxygen tank and slips into one of the murky waterways that snakes around Colonels Island. He skims along the floor of the river and uses his hands to sift through the mud, hunting for a peculiar kind of sunken treasure: prehistoric shark teeth. Until about 2 million years ago, a giant … [Read More...]

Today's Finds. I started finding the Megalodon teeth. The largest tooth has a tiny chip on the tip and is almost 5.75" long. The third one down in size is nearly flawless and is over 4". The smallest one is also in top condition. I did have to dig a lot so I burned through my air pretty quickly. Near the end it was getting hard to breath and I was about to come up when I found a large vert. If you pull these out of the mud you often find bones and teeth have settled in around them. I pulled … [Read More...]

The first thing I found today was a mammoth tooth. It was buried pretty deep but right away I felt was the root and I knew what it was. I only have three or four others this nice so that made my day a success in my mind. … [Read More...]

From Savannah Connect http://www.connectsavannah.com/news/article/105350/ We’re all lucky to enjoy Savannah while it’s on dry land. Throughout earth’s history, this entire region’s been underwater much longer than it’s been above it. Bill Eberlein knows this better than most. After a successful career at Gulfstream and Savannah Tech, he decided to go full–time with his real passion: scuba diving. Not the crystal–clear, sun–dappled diving we know from the movies, … [Read More...]

I just found this giant top quality tooth on Sunday. I was diving along and I saw a small broken tooth just laying there. The current was dragging me along and I went by it. I almost felt that it was not worth my energy trying to fight the current to get back to it. Then I thought that it might be better than I thought so I crawled back to it. This massive tooth was just laying next to it. I could not believe that I saw the other one and completely missed this one. I am really glad … [Read More...]

I have pretty much been diving a lot this month. the water is cooling off and I am sorry to see summer go.  I had not looked at any of my new teeth because I have been doing too much.  Today I finally went through the nicest finds from September.  I found quite a few nice Megalodon teeth plus a lot of whale teeth and Makos. Some of the more unusual finds are the four 3”+ Mako Teeth and the interesting posterior tooth. I also found a tusk fragment. I do not find many of these so it … [Read More...]

These are the nicer Megalodon teeth I found diving over the last three days. The nicest are the 2.75" Benedini and 4-1/4" Megalodon Tooth with loads of pyrite in the root and bourrelet. … [Read More...]

8/20/11  These are my nicer teeth from the past week. The teeth in the front row are all over 5" and the four on the left of the second row are 4-7/8". My boat is down for a few days and I am already climbing the walls. … [Read More...]

Today's finds. Megalodon teeth and a Gomphotherium tooth. The nicest Megalodon tooth is the 5 inch lower tooth near the center. The gomph is worn but mostly intact. The Gompotherium was an early mammal very similar to a modern elephant which lived aprox. 5 million years ago. The teeth are nearly identical to the Mastodon. … [Read More...]

Early on in my first dive I found what turned out to be a Giant Ground Sloth Tooth. It is only the second one I have ever found. Because I had zero visibility, I thought it was a rib at first and tossed it aside. As soon as it left my hand I thought that it seemed to be too heavy for a rib bone. I'm glad I returned. I also found a nice Benedini tooth measuring 2-3/8" and several really nice Megalodon teeth. … [Read More...]

Megalodon Teeth from the last few days. The front row are all at least 4.75 in. Had some good vis so I found some nice Makos as well. … [Read More...]

These are some of my nicer Megalodon Tooth finds from yesterday and today. The large one is a killer 6 inch Megalodon Tooth (6.1" actually)and the one next to it in the last two photos measures 4.8" and is flawless. … [Read More...]

I spent a really nice week on the beach in PA with my family but am back working the rivers. The teeth in the front row are all 5 in. The nicer teeth are mostly in the second row. The Mammoth tooth in the back is almost complete. I always tell people that visibility is overrated where I dive. Today I forgot my light at home so I just dove with no light. At 40 feet down no light from the surface gets through. It is like being in a totally dark room. After your eyes adjust to the dark … [Read More...]

I have been diving a lot but too busy to post much. In two hours on my first dive today all I found were the broken teeth in the top row. Over an hour into my second dive I just had one tooth, then I hit a spot and in about a half hour pulled out all the rest of the teeth in the bottom two rows. Lately it seems I keep finding everything when it is time to go home. I am glad I did not quit early. Sometimes I am tempted to then I remember days like this.  All the teeth in the bottom row measure over … [Read More...]

This weekend I dove with Littlefeet Charters out of Topsail Island NC with some friends. I can not remember ever having so much fun diving. We went out to the ledges looking for Megalodon Teeth.  Where I dive 4 inches of visibility is GREAT vis, but there we had 40 feet of vis and I could actually see the shark teeth.  We did three dives and I wanted to do three more.  The teeth I found are below.   The largest is 6.49" and the five in the bottom row are all over 5".   There were … [Read More...]

Thanks to John Wood who let me study his reproduction of a Megalodon Jaw.  It really helped to identify the position of some of the teeth that I find.  What a massive creature this was!!!!! … [Read More...]

These are from the last few days. The six inch Megalodon tooth I frond just seconds from surfacing. This is why I pay extra for oversized SCUBA tanks. … [Read More...]

These are the nicer teeth from the end of April.  I found some low to mid quality teeth as well but these are the nicer teeth.  The ones in the back row are over 5". … [Read More...]

A couple of weeks ago I found a spot with a bunch of teeth. Sadly I cleaned most of them out since today and yesterday I came up empty. It was fun while it lasted though. These are some of the nicer ones. The close up photo shows most of the largest and nicer ones. They are all near or over 5".  The large Mako is over 3" in length. … [Read More...]

I just found these yesterday.   The largest tooth is over 6" and a few are 5"+.  I think I got most of the exposed teeth from this spot but I will go back. … [Read More...]

I made two dives yesterday and only found the left two teeth in the top row.  I made one dive today and the first hour was not going any better.  I had nothing and was digging through some very thick mud.  Then I came on an open patch where the bottom was exposed and found the other six in about a half hour.  I do not plan to go tomorrow so I am hoping I can still find that patch next week when I get out. … [Read More...]

The currents today were strong and the vis was absolute zero but I still did well. The largest tooth tops six inches and the two on either side are over five.  Even better, it was warm enough to open the pool so I can take my post dive naps on my float. … [Read More...]

These are from my last two days of diving. I found a piece of crocodilian jaw with a tooth. This would have been from a prehistoric crocodile like creature with a jaw over feet long. I also found some Megalodon Teeth. The largest is 5.25" and the nicest is the one in the last photo that measures 4.85. … [Read More...]
