Being completely honest. The communication here is a bit poor. I didn't receive a confirmation email or call saying my VIP request to dig was confirmed. I just received a notification online that I would be contacted so I had to call the owner that morning and he finally picked

up after calling him at least ten previous times. The owner really knows the site. The site where he puts you on is actually pre-sifted and you pay $40 for the day. It's not digging so much as it is sifting really fine loose sediment for shark teeth. I found some nice things in there. A decent cow shark tooth, a large Isurus planus over two inches, and a sea lion tooth. About three hundred teeth were collected in three days. That's really exciting but I was working hard to sift through everything and worked from sunrise to sunset. I'm definitely saying I'm not disappointed but felt like I was already sifting through stuff that had been sifted. That's fine for most folks but I was really hoping to find a Megalodon or large Mako. They are out there but with an industrial sifter all those nice large teeth had already been taken out so I knew that I was only going to find the smaller teeth though I did find some decent sized Isurus planus (extinct hooked Great White). All in all not a bad trip for your money but I did get into trouble for digging in the pit in the center with some friends (that stuff isn't pre-sifted). I thought the owner said that was free game so I went in but he definitely didn't want me in there. He also tried getting us to excavate some overburden (dirt and rock) on the other side of the hill from the quarry. We dug for about two hours and weren't getting anything so we gave up on that. The good news was he let us have free admission for scouting out some new spots that he claimed were going to yield a lot of shark teeth but ended up being dry. So I have mixed feelings about this place. Would I do it again? Certainly I would but I would try to pay him a bit more to dig in the middle where the material hasn't already had the nicer larger teeth sifted. It was a fun trip.
