[@diegomaya1850]

That's a Unique giveaway

[@JavierFernandez01]

Knowing what the ffff you're looking at is the thing. Super interesting.

[@tylowren2005]

I’ve done it and I live all the way in the middle south of England, and would greatly appreciate a guaranteed real mastodon tooth that can only be found in North America!! I also collect marine Eocene fossils and have a collection of Eocene shark teeth from a place called lee on solent. So know that if you give it away to me then it will be in good hands. Loving the content keep posting these amazing pre-historical videos on Florida’s mostly Miocene and Pleistocene history!!!! 👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩

I work in an emergency room for 12 hours a day from 10am to 10pm and needless to say! Your videos help me through each shift. You definitely deserve more subscribers! Keep up the awesome work and I'm also going to be letting a lot of our staff/Co workers know about you! Thank you for the entertainment!!

The chances of finding the other half of the Mastodon tooth is amazing. Just pure luck. The years they were apart, and now back together. What an enjoyable experience to share with us. Thanks!

[@JaneEllenMusic]

What an amazing find, Jonathan! I'm so glad you were able to put the mastodon teeth together after 3 years. This is one of my favourite of your discoveries - congratulations!!

[@DiggingScience]

We were freaking out. One of my favorite pieces now as well!

[@ineedanewname9595944]

Love the scallop with the barnacles!! Too cool! Thanks for all the info. Love it! Keep it up! Maybe one day, I can be able to add to ya'lls discoveries!!!

[@AD5LOPES]

It's amazing how the two of you got big enough balls to get into places like that risking so much in water that deep. Even more amazing is Joe's sarcasm! I think he is actually a really funny guy. You guys make a great team, keep up with the great vids, you're killing it!

omg, U GUYS FIND THE GREATEST THINGS ! I CANT BELIEVE U FOUND THE REST OF THAT TOOTH ! U GUYS ARE AWESOME & THANX FOR SHARING WITH EVERYONE ! IM LEARNING A LOT FROM YOU..

[@lisakhon5458]

After getting hooked on your videos I can no longer walk across a gravel road, a dirt driveway, walk along the shore or a riverbank without STOPPING and checking for teeth, bones, or "something"! Seriously, I takes me longer to get anywhere now! Congrats on matching up the teeth. An Extraordinary find and tale to tell. Thank you for making these videos.

[@jessicamermaid2438]

Amazing find! That's like finding the missing piece to a jigsaw puzzle three years after the dog carried it off and buried it. Joe was looking a little bit grumpy. It was probably because of too many gators and too few fossils. As a native Floridian, I am fasinated by (almost) all things Florida, including alligators. (I don't do snakes or frogs.) I love the healthy respect you guys give them.

[@americanrebel413]

This was AWESOME guys, thank you.

[@mackie_p]

Gives me shivers at the end. That is amazing!

[@scottmeacham1738]

Wow! What great finds and 3 years apart...that's tenacity! I found a deer skull with an 8 point rack in about 5 feet of water while kayaking 2 years ago. I was videoing and caught the moment. You have some spectacular finds, and yes, you avoid gators by leaving the creek banks and cutting through the swamp. 😂!!! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

[@DiggingScience]

Its so crazy to us what's out here and you never know what you will find! Did you end up keeping the skull 💀?

[@scottmeacham1738]

I am in absolute awe. 3 years! I can't believe your luck! This has to be my favorite channel... your content is always just inspiring! Thanks for taking us along with you again. And I subbed to the newsletter!

[@-KillaWatt-]

I've watched so many videos about Florida and it's environment and I've never heard a single person warn of gator slides. Not being from Florida myself it's something I would never have thought about looking for.

[@DiggingScience]

We have such an enormous respect for alligators. When we go diving we share their environment and it's up to us to respect it.

[@anitameza3960]

Congrats on finding the rest of the tooth. You are very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Always liked fossils and still do.

[@redreaper2752]

It’s nice to see people that are so passionate about what they are doing.

[@heyitsme6067]

You've got me so interested in fossil hunting. On a recent roadtrip with my mom we crossed a bridge and got out and looked for fossils in the gravel bars of the creek. Two older ladies out there poking around, it was fun! She found some!!!

[@technonarg5978]

Amazing find,you manifest that tooth part with your will and determination. Good hunting and keep up the fantastic videos.

[@phildalziel8625]

Wow. There is so much good about your videos I really don't know what to say! I watched one and have binged several more. Your knowledge and passion, great personalities, great explanations, the style of shooting (especially the underwater shots- you film the fanning and murkiness so we see what you see and get a sense of the place, and let us know something good by nodding!), great editing, love the pop up info about the finds, the commentary on anything of interest, the info about your environment and wildlife of today as well as the fossils, the calm narration (ie: you know your animals and place and take it in your professional stride when you see a big Gator or whatever)...I could go on. May you get many likes and Subs!

So interesting. I was given a partial leg bone and a large vertebrae by some FSU people diving the Aucilla River years ago. The instructor was recovering a Bison skull that looked to fill up the pick up truck they were fitting it into. Thanks for your adventurous films.

Your knowledge of the bones you find is very impressive. The fact you insert yourselves into the food chain is also impressive and a little crazy. As a retired slightly disabled vet, you fill a lot of my free time and I enjoy gaining the knowledge you share. I see you’ve shortened your hair also.

[@williamk2257]

That's just crazy finding those fossils especially a matching tooth over all the flood waters going through there over the years. Then find a possible alligator snack in the deer skull. Pretty cool video and knowledgeable youngsters. Also crazy if anything like that leaf or anything went by my face I'd be a bit jumpy with lots of gators around.

Amazing & informative vids....always interesting. Your pattern recognition skills very very good. Of course will keep getting better...more experience and more knowledge enhances....human brain is so remarkable....( some WW2 artifact hunters have great skills & knowledge, too.) I occasionally have opportunities to look around for fossils. As a young boy, I wanted to be “archeologist-paleontologist “. IE , a scientist. Eventually obtained PhD and did muscle biogenetic enzyme research, then studied more, obtaining MD. Never lost the urge and fascination for fossils and the “hunt”. Now retired and will look around again when I am able to. Great vids.....good to have respect for “things that can kill ya’ “
