Heading over to Aust Cliffs in the uk, anyone got any advice or tips on how to fossil hunt in that area (should i fossil hunt in the upper parts of the beach or in the low tide areas?). Any advice would be apreciated!

Hi all! Just started redisovering the old child hood love for fossils and all things paleontology. I've had a crack at doing some fossil hunting in and around Perth, but all the intresting spots seems to fall on private land and the owners don't seem to keen to have people rooting around . Any tips on how to start out?

Hello! I am a new member on TFF. I have been fossil hunting for about a year and a half (one of the few good things that the virus has done for me). I live in Jacksonville FL, and go hunting near me, ex. in Gainesville or dredges, and sometimes travel to Venice or Charleston (SC). I am mainly focused on Miocene and Eocene fossils, shark teeth, mammals, and other fossils from that time period. I will find fossil hunting tips very helpful as I am a beginner, and get all my knowledge from TFF and YouTube, though this is working well for most common IDs, more specialized tips, I'm not sure if that is the right wording, would be helpful.

Hi guys! So I'm planning to go back to one of the Calvert County beaches to try my luck again- I haven't had any success with finding teeth bigger than about a quarter inch and I'm hoping to find something a little bigger next time. My current technique is to dig up sand from the water and sift through it super carefully- should I switch it up and try something different to find big teeth? If so, does anyone have any recommendations for how to find them? And, final question, which beaches are good for finding larger specimens? I know Purse and Matoaka are good for quantity but I don't know which are best for finding big fossils. I'm still very new to tooth hunting so any help would be appreciated!

Hello everybody, I've been away from the forums for a long time (I had to finish my studies and then I went to live outside of the UK for a while teaching). Anyway, I'm back now and I'd love to spend some time looking for Fossils again on my weekends off. However, I'm limited as I don't have a car at the moment and have to rely on public transport so I was hoping some people here could give some good tips for sites that can be easily reached by public transport in the Yorkshire Area (or at least reachable within 3-4 hours). I'm starting off small again I don't mind if these sites produce common fossils, I'm mainly just looking for a good day out and to introduce my partner to fossil hunting (she seems mildly excited by it so i want to home in on that, Hahah). Thanks, Lolman1c
