So, here's the contest. I'll give you a week from today (11/21) to post up the coolest (or weirdest) thing you collect. Post it here on this thread (forum only) along with a short story about it and at the end of the week, I'll pick the top 3 (if warranted) and we'll vote for the winner. I said "If Warranted" in case one of you posts something that everyone just goes Oh My God to and then there will be no need to vote.
The winner will get to choose between one of the two teeth pictured. (Not real teeth, but casts from real teeth)
White Tooth - Modern Great White Tooth off of a 16-17 foot great white.
Black Tooth - Megalodon (Juvenile) from a roughly same sized great white.

About 20 years ago I was working in Oceanside installing wet utilities ( water, sewer and storm drain ) on a small job site up behind the Cemetery. While removing part of a slope with my backhoe I hooked into a chunk of concrete that was buried and it was in the way so I dug it up, and this was attached to it and it made it's way into my truck :-X :-X I thought it was cool because of the age and it's not something the average person stumbles into very often, it has been sitting above my wood stove ever since I dug it up 8) I put my hand up to it for size comparison.

That is pretty awesome Tim! I guess the rest of the crew doesn't collect anything interesting. hahahaha

I don’t have anything I collect that says I will be imprisoned for having it.

I’m a tackle hoarder does that count.

No collectors of:
- do not disturb hotel signs
I know you weirdos are out there and exist! Only a few more days to show off your collection!

I figured you wouldn't accept my fine collection of artificial orifi...This came to mind though.
Helmet signed by Earl Morall, Bob Griese, Jim Kiick, Paul Warfield, and the last one I can't figure out. Might be Larry Csonka. Judging by the size I would say this is Larry Little's helmet. All of them were on the team for the Fin's Super Bowl run '71-'73.

Very worthy for the contest. I'm a Jets fan, but can appreciate that helmet with all those signatures!

Yeah I'm surprised you didn't ban non-Jets AFC East memorabilia!

I thought we (The Jets) were the absolute pits during the Rich Kotite era. Apparently not. Besides, I would have banned Dolphins in the 80's, but now we have a common foe in the Pats, so Dolphin stuff is okay for now. lol

Well, Tim wins! Congrats Tim! PM me what tooth you want and address and I'll get it out to you.
jrodda, you win also. I'll send you a tooth also, but it will be of my choice. In any case, you'll really like it. Just send me you mailing address via PM and I'll get that out in the mail for you.
Congrats guys and thanks for playing!

I didn't get fined or do prison time ??? ;D ;D I was hoping for more participation to make it interesting to see some lost treasures out there. Oh well, Thanks again Tom, I've never had a shark tooth that large before so I will display it in a good spot to share with everyone that comes over 8)

I'll get one out to you this week sometime!
