Siberian Mammoth Tusks

 Karl Gorokhov was mammoth tusk hunting in Siberia, when he was walking and tripped on the tip of a tusk sitting out of the ground. It took him about 24 hours to dig up the tusk, it was 150 pounds and in near perfect condition, if he gets it home can can get more than $60,000. As a kid he remembers seeing rotting tusks on the river bank, but people believed it was bad luck to disturb them, thinking they came from giant mole creatures underground.

The tusks are worth the risk. Although others have rushed in to score on tusks Karl is always ahead of them. As the permafrost starts to thaw mammoth tusks start to kind of stick out and he can get them.
