Hiya. After moving away from Clearwater Beach back to Tampa, the last place I expected to find anything so amazing was the backyard. I guess you could say I live in the suburbs, but it's literally the last house before a very large industrial area. The yard is pretty standard, lots of room, some interesting plants here and there, and I didn't think much of it at first... imagine my surprise to find a large, perfectly halved Meg tooth (I really want for it to be a Meg, but it's quite likely it isn't. Maybe I can get some insight on these photos) just outside the backdoor one day, while noticing a serious over-abundance of shells out there. It's Florida, not too surprising. That was my initial thought. And then I found another one. And another. And you guessed it, another, along with some seriously interesting bones, more teeth and even raw stones-carnelian, jasper, agate, quartz, and there are more I haven't even identified yet. The last 2 months have been a whirlwind of dirt, stifling heat, and I love every second. My pockets and home are full of teeth, stones, fossils, and bones. There is no surface that isn't a history lesson waiting to happen. Unfortunately, I haven't got many friends, so maybe I'll find some like-minded dudes. To clarify-girls are dudes, guys are dudes, everyone is dude, It doesn't matter to me, I just wanna talk about these awesome finds with cool people who aren't bored 5 seconds in. I have lots of pictures, but they aren't great, and I'm a little hesitant to post them. I'm not sure how in the world I could be self conscious about the coolest thing ever, but I am, a little, lol. Anyway. These are some of my nearest and dearest finds so far. I've got a suitcase full, and a LOT of questions, so I can't wait to put a name to these amazing finds. This seems to be the place to get all the info I need

Brand new to forum and shark tooth hunting. Need some veteran help.
jpj3338 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello all! I want to go shark hunting for the first time!! My gf and I are making a trip from charlotte to the charleston area for a weekend. Im originally from Chicago, so it is rare that I go to a beach let alone shark tooth hunt. Anyways, It would be a dream to find a great white tooth or megadolon. Sharks have always been my favorite animal (especially a great white). So the thought of finding a tooth is exciting. You probably get asked this a lot, but do you know of any specific places (that you are willing) to share to have a decent chance of finding a good tooth? This will just be a weekend trip and then I have to start my new job hours from the beach. So, I will not be depleting fossil locations. Just a fun weekend trip hoping to share some good memories. Thank you guys so much, Jeremy- 10 replies
