hunting, it is the feeling you get picking something out of the dirt, and let s leading it was part realizing it was part of a living, breathing bemoth years ago. i am thinking that whole family has some dino radar. this looks like a rib. jamie: just the first few minutes clayton s youngest, luke, finds a rib. i am having a blast can i keep looking, is it wood? that is bone. jamie: i found part of a leg bone. slowly but surely there is a whole dinosaur. it came off this hill somewhere. jamie: we found a spot worth looking into. for sure. jamie: clayton knows there is dino gold somewhere in these hills. highest selling fossil that i know wases there are si dollars.
hardly imagine. after cutting a deal with the land owner who gets a share any of profit, clayton picks away, with a shovel, jackhammer and a backhoe. an arm claw in there, a nasty meat hook. jamie: another set of bones intertwined with the triseratops. i started brushing away, i saw an arm. and i saw a leg below. and wahoo, sun of a gun, there is son of a gun, there was another dinosaur in here. i want ballistic with excitement. jamie: a monster discovery, his san daniel, and daughter julie pose to give a sense of the size of two creatures.
reserve price that by clayton and his partners. the result, no sale. unlike the folks who cashed in on the world famous t-rex tooth, clayton walks away empty-handed. i hope i m not out of line expecting to get paid what we went into it. clayton believes he will eventually get that and more. we all feel the fall of the economy hampered things for sure. so back on the range, he continues to raise cattle, search for fossils and tinker in his lab waiting for his big find to pay off. if one day however those dueling dinos unearthed make him rich, i m betting the path of clayton s life still circles back to this piece of montana. i m living the dream.
back that day in time, and see how it unfolded. jamie: cowboy and his family, the dinos could be a life changer. my initial thought is they are in value of maybe $10 million. jamie: that is more than chicago s field museum paid for sue. the giant t-rex unearthed in 1990, clayton and his partner, think a multimillion dollar deal that would permit access by both scientists and the public. i would like to be able to take my grand kids some day, and say your grand pappy found that dinosaur. 7 years pass but no public pb instution bites, in november 2013, clayton moves on to plan b .
jamie: clayton insist i wear a helmet. somebody must have told him i m a lawyer. i can see why clayton loves being out here, and i learned why he calls ranking a big gamble. in wintertime it can be hard with big storms and death loss, you can buy a bull for $10,000, he is break his leg or something, you may not get any return out of him. him. for years, clayton worked a second job hoping to make enough money to build up his own herd. he falls in love with lisa land wares. my mom said, she could see why i fell for him, my dad said, are you sure you don t want to wait.
