My family had a really amazing time with Tara and Matt. They were super flexible and made a big effort to make the day special for my birthday which I really appreciated. Unfortunately
the weather didn't cooperate, but that just means we'll have to come back again! - Mark Verespy·
Had a great time. My guide Lucas was incredible. Very knowledgeable. Found some cool teeth and fossils.

Absolutely loved it! Our family had the best time and found some amazing shark teeth. Thank you for having us. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I recently booked the 4 hour sifting experience, and we had a blast! Nicholas was our guide and he did a great job answering our questions and just chatting/hanging out with us! I already can't wait to go again.

We had an amazing day digging for Megalodon teeth. We were lucky and found three about 5". Matthew was our guide and he was great in helping us get setup. The it was up to us to move the dirt. What a great family adventure.

This was an amazing experience for me! Crossed off an adventure on my bucket list for sure. Found a 5 1/4" Meg, was broken and not whole, but it was great! I will be back for another round one day! Thanks for the awesome experience! Kaleb was awesome and a great good luck charm!

Single-handedly the best fossil hunting experience out there in terms of quality and quantity. I had Caleb tour me for my first day of my double decker and Josh for the 2nd day. On the first day I landed 2 species I never had in my collection and a specific find that isnt common in Florida. Caleb was helpful and very knowledgeable of the prehistory of the area and also gave me pointers for better sifting and identification. On the 2nd day I had Josh accompany me in the lightning site and boy was it a blast! He helped prep the pit with the excavator and showed me the methods to pull out teeth from the clay layer and provided all kinds of accommodations to make the experience even better. I sadly did not find the biggest nor the largest finds but that can be for another time I decide to do the tour again. I felt like a guest rather than a customer with Palmetto Fossil Excursions and I cannot thank them enough for the experience and customer service!

We went to the lightning dig 2 days in a row and had the pleasure of working with Tara, Matt, Josh, and Caleb. They made sure we had tools, air, and shade as they put us on teeth!!! They enjoy what they do and are excited to share their knowledge. They help to dig and any tooth they find they give to their customers! They are down to earth, hard working people and we will go back in a heartbeat!!! Thanks to all!

10/10 recommend! I recently booked a 4 hour pit dig and can’t express how amazing it was for me and my family. The guides were absolutely amazing and insanely knowledgeable about all our finds. I will definitely book another dig next time I’m in Charleston.
