VENICE, Fla. – An amazing pre-historic discovery was recently made off the Florida coast.
Alex Lundberg was scuba diving about a half-mile off Venice when he found a 4-foot long, 60-pound mastodon tusk.
Lundberg needed a friend to help him bring the tusk to the surface.
Experts say the tusk could be anywhere from 10,000 to millions of years old.
Mastodons were elephant-like animals with long, curved upper tusks.
Lundberg says he will be searching for more treasure over the holiday weekend.
