Listen "S2: E17 | Megalodon Tooth LEGEND breaks down the tips, tricks & lifestyle of Shark Teeth Diving, Fossil Hunting, & finding the famous “Megs” in Venice, FL | with Capt. Michael Nastasio"
Episode Synopsis
Returning for Season 2, Captain Michael Nastasio takes us out on his charter boat and yup… he put us right on top of the famous “Black Gold” which is shark teeth slang for “Megs” which is (yet another) shark tooth hunter buzzword for Megalodon Teeth.
Capt. Michael lives and breathes this every single day the weather lets him, and so far has never returned to shore without a MEG.
He explains the tricks to finding more, common mistakes, and even daily battles with fraudsters and “site pirates” that try to steal his secret locations!
This was just an incredibly fun day for our crew, with the interview at the end being a cherry on top. This interview is a MUST for any fossil diver or shark tooth enthusiast.
He runs private daily charters out of Venice, FL called “Black Gold Fossil Charters”.
