So what does this mean? This means that from now on, you will be able to book all of your South Carolina Fossil adventures from one place! This means that you will be able to book a 3 day package that will allow you to wash various fossil bearing strata, participate in our trademark Dry Dig, and then spend a day riding with Captain Gainey on his boat to a place of his selection where you will spend 5 to 6 hours hunting for ancient treasures on the surface. After your hunting time has came to an end, you will be able to enjoy a nice slow ride back to the dock that will include scenic views and possibly even dolphins and other wildlife!!
