and let me tell you, it is fun!
Here are more pictures from our family reunion last Saturday.
Heading to the stream
The hunt is on......these are sharks teeth that are from prehistoric times when this area of New Jersey was under the sea.
Emma Sage hunting with her plastic spoon.....she actually found some!
Fiona getting caught by a bush......too cute!
The long walk home.....Emma Sage catching a ride on her Uncle Mikey's shoulders.

I can't believe you can find them just like that? Where do they come from??? I mean - I know they come from a shark, but how do they get there???? That's sooo cool!
Arn't they cool. The area of the farm was under the ocean millions of years ago, so as the sharks lost their teeth they settled to the bottom of the sea,,,,as time went on, they got burried on soil and sediment,,,as the waters receeded [I don't know how many years ago, but I would assume thousands and thousands [I know, I need to go do a goole search and find the answer] they became petrified in the earth....the little stream that runs though the property has erroded the layers of soil and unearthed the teeth.....and we are so lucky to be able to hunt for them.
I'll have to make you a necklace from one of them....they say wearing one brings good luck! ;)
What a fun family pasttime!
