@bobbyrood just looked at all our current suspects and said, "Step aside."

Found surface hunting at Construction site
View attachment 118988

When I was working in Sarasota 25 years ago the Contractor was excavating and installing large drainage pipe along Clarke rd US 70. The spoil from the digging was placed in piles along the trench. You don't notice much of anything in the piles but after a rain there are literally scores of sharks teeth and mastodon teeth...not huge like yours but old timers showed me the differences IIRC. I did find huge shark teeth as big as your hand..I do recall that. Pipe installation Excavation sites get a good cross section to look at earth layers..The deepest layer is on the top of the pile..

I found arrowheads in Cape Coral and Miami, but not a single one in Jupiter. And we had battles on the Seminole Wars.

What a vibrant tapestry we all weave!

Ok, not all, but you certainly have a seat on that train.

Awesome.

UM alum Jose Mas and his family own MasTec. Some of you amateur archaeologists should reach out to him and see if you can get first dibs on digging through the dirt after MasTec does a big job.

And the Millers are either UM alums or Friends of UM too.

Just giving guys another "in" via MasTec.

Sad story related to this. Many years ago, they discovered the remnants of the militia camp in Jupiter at the site of a DiVosta development. An injunction was issued until archaeologists could examine the site. Meanwhile, over the weekend, a heavy equipment operator working overtime "accidentally" bulldozed the entire area because he supposedly got the directions wrong.

That's nothing.

I've founds loads of arrowheads before.

At a museum.

How’s the Aztec Warrior artifact hunting going South of the Border? Gotta be some sick stuff down there.

 

[PortvilleCane]

I can also confirm that the Lakeland/Bartow area is filled with mastodon fossils. I built the I-4 Polk Parkway interchange and a foreman found a big mas tooth like the one you posted when we dug the drainage ponds...I had forgotten all that stuff until you mentioned it. Thanks cool stuff

I knew the Mas’s when they first started doing utility work for Bell South. They did a lot of relocation and utility repair for the big utility company’s. They’re everywhere now. Even up north

Stu Miller was UM BOT President...until Lennar took most of his attention away...His Dad sat as UM BOT for 2 decades (Leonard) even hired Butch...
