We had such a wonderful experience at the lightning site today. Luke was the perfect guide—professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable about the site and the fossils found there. He was right there in the pit digging alongside us (2 parents and 2 kids, ages 14 and 12). We found a variety of shark teeth (including a couple megs), as well as fragments of whale and manatee bones. It isn’t easy work, but the thrill of finding a perfectly preserved fossil is well worth it. Luke made the site extra comfortable by taking the time to carve little steps into the pit for me with his excavator, as well as setting up a gigantic sunshade to keep us cool. This was a wonderful experience that our family will always remember, and we would love to do it again the next time we are in the area. Highly recommend Palmetto Fossils and Luke.

We had a fantastic day with guide, Dustin. He is amazingly knowledgeable and very professional. We did find a beautiful Megladon tooth at the lightning site, plus a wide variety of other fossils. Highly recommend!

Amazing. The team went out of their way to make our daughter's birthday special. 10/10 would highly recommend and come again!
