The tooth and the point came from sifting the sediment near a creek dump site. One of the better points I have found when sifting. (in reply to eviltwin) Post #: 7

I think folks still through teeth in the trash. Dentists have to have them incenerated. They are considered a bio-hazard now days. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Penn Digger) Post #: 10

RE: Human tooth - 10/19/2008 10:07:09 PM    randgrithr   Posts: 19 Joined: 9/14/2008 Status: offline I didn't get to keep mine but here is a funny story about how I had them out. I was stationed at Ramstein Germany with the USAF and they were about to deploy me to Ankara Turkey for Desert Storm. They told me I had better get the teeth out first because they were impacted, and if they sent me down there it'd be "no groovy drugs, just tie a string to the end of a Patriot missile!" So I opted for the groovy drugs thank you... as they wheeled me out of surgery my mouth was full of cotton but the people I was with could hear me saying something... they asked my boyfriend what I was mumbling with my mouth full of cotton and still tripping my face off on pentobarb, and he rolled his eyes and said "She's saying 'NO TEETH FOR OIL! NO TEETH FOR OIL!'" (in reply to mannequinreject) Post #: 13

A few months back one of my dogs dug up some teeth on a bone. I think they were more along the line of cow or horse teeth. I washed them off and then tossed them. Still trying to get used to farm life. _____________________________ Living on a farm amongst the treasures (in reply to Niko) Post #: 14
