Excellent photos and explanations as always Hal. As a victim of artifact theft I know it's upsetting. I literally despise thieves. Anyways.... thanks for sharing all the Safety Harbor photos.

Love the great white tooth. That means a Native America had to walk the beach, head down, looking back and forth ( sound familiar?) If they wanted to find one.
