I live in Dallas and usually hunt the NSR. However, I had some airline miles and decided to fly to the Chesapeake Bay for the weekend. I probably could have waited for a chance to spend more time there, but eventually convinced myself it was a great way to end the year and told myself that I would find a Mako and Megalodon tooth. If I could do that, the trip would be worth it. I only had 24 hours there, but made the most of it. I'm at the airport now heading home, figured I would post my finds. Thanks to @paxhunter for the advice he gave me.

Boom!  Great teeth. You're pretty lucky to come away with them after a 24 hour trip.

Thanks for all the support guys. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I was determined. I split my time between 3 of the beaches and walked around 18 miles scanning the surf. About half of the time was spent hunting in the dark with a flashlight (how I found the Mako). It didn't seem like there was a whole lot out there, at times I would go hours without finding anything which would be discouraging, but I reminded myself that the NSR was the same way at times and knew it only took one good find to make the trip so I was persistant.. and luckily it paid off.

Congrats!! I would be thrilled with those. May need to use a few of my miles as well.

Mission accomplished! Tom Cruise couldn't have done that with more surgical precision.

 

Cheers.

Great trip.
