Your Guide to Shark Tooth Hunting
1
Step 1: Choose the Right Location
Learn More
On the beach works better than in the water. Look for long patches of small shells. Getting close with your eyes will bring the smaller teeth into focus. Small teeth are in the majority. Larger teeth are often, but not always found at the water line.

Step 2: Understand the Tides
Explore Tips
When can I find shark teeth? Low tide is said to be the best time to find teeth. The water is calmer and clearer, and receding waters expose good areas to search. I've found teeth during high tide, too, just less ground to cover.
Pick a fossiliferous beach. A good place to start is with a beach that undergoes dredging and beach renourishment, like North Topsail Beach!
Think small. Most of the time you won’t be coming across a large megalodon tooth in perfect condition, so it’s important to keep your eyes dialed down.

Step 3: Use the Right Tools
Get Equipped
Research has taught us that the best tools for shark tooth hunting are your bare hands. When compared using sifter to go through top sand, or a shovel and sifter to go through deeper sand, or even sifting at the water line; none compare to walking and searching with a keen eye for shiny reflective black shark teeth.
