Below is a pic of a Calcaneum deer bone in great condition. I find tons of these broken in the river. Its nice to find complete specimens every now and then. Odocoileus virginianus.

After eight days of diving, I had to return home and clean my finds. I made sure my cargo was strapped in and ready for the ride. As always another great week diving in Florida! Next stop, the Cooper River.
