Capt John and the crew are total pros. I have gone with them on 5 different trips and have had amazing experiences every time. Different spots and fossils but always fun. Great crew and equipment combined with his knowledge makes it easy to be a repeat customer Last trip was fantastic as usual but was made better by the vibe. Capt John has some custom music he shared with the group made us all smile. Thanks Capt John. See ya again soon

We had a good time. We found tons of smaller teeth and fossils. The guy that helped us, was fun. Very helpful.
My only complaint is, the Meg We found and were asked to post pictures of, I watched them stuff into my friends sifting pile while her back was turned, and then into my sifting pile. Im happy to have the tooth, I love it. I just wanted to find it organically.
I never would spend $200 on a "seeded" hunt.

My daughter and I spent 4 hours on a Peace River Fossil hunt this week with Fossil Junkies. The two of us dug up more than two hundred fifty (250) shark teeth (several different shark types) and were fortunate enough to find 2 megalodon teeth! We also dug up numerous bones, shells, and other interesting fossils. The airboat ride was great, the guides were top notch, and the amenities first class. Highly recommend Fossil Junkies. We left the shore on time, returned safely, and had a great day on the river. And DON'T worry about the gators, they will leave you alone.
