RE: long in the tooth..... - 5/8/2008 5:46:49 PM    capsoda Posts: 7424 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline How big is it Steve???  Looks like the first molar from a horse. The one right behind the gap. Badly worn and in sever need of floating from a horse over 25 years old. Wasn't taken care of very well. It was common practise to dump them in rivers and bays after they died. The crabs, turtles and fish would make pretty quick work on them, _____________________________ 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 GuntherHess) Post #: 7
