That's a great collection!! When I was growing up (in Orlando), we used to go to the phosphate pits in Bartow (near Winter Haven) and look for teeth just like those. Big fun!! (and we didn't have to wrestle the alligators) ;D

The Florida rivers are full of fossils coral artifacts.They are strict about disturbing their water ways so i am respectful to the eco.But i do collect items that don't require digging.I have 'camp' on Lake George(a seven mile wide bulge in the St Johns River) about central Florida.Get,the locals in this area have developed sand probes over the years.They are like straight hay forks with metal handles for maximum sound transmission.They probe these into the sandy lake bottom.There are no rocks essentially so if the probe strikes a hard object it is either glass,flint debitage or...an artifact.They may be a quarter mile out in this giant shallow lake probing an indian camp that was once above water level.The wave action of this lake is ocean like and eats the shore away quickly.Just like a wind storm,the sand/soil is removed and the solids get left behind.Most of the easy pickins has been taken.My lot has a long frontage and several shell deposits 50 to 100 feet around where ancient man left from cooking operation.The wave action uncovers an occasional spearhead,scraper or knappings.Most of them are Marions.And i am in Marion County.
