shark

tooth

hunting

? I've done this in the past and

found

some cool

shark

teeth

, but today we're on a new creek located in Gainesville with hope. to

find

that big

megalodon

shark

tooth

that I'm looking for, they can be as big as your hand, but I've never

found

one that big and I hope that today I get lucky and

find

something like that, but let me show you the tools that we have. We're going to use it to hopefully find some good shark

teeth

here, so the tools we're using today are pretty simple, we've got a shovel and a sifter, I'm just going to dump all the good gravel into the sifter, shake it out, and with luck, get it. luck out and we find a shark tooth but what we're going to do is walk down this creek to a new location that no one has hunted before and hope we find something really good so let's go up there Tristan this is your first time with a shark .

Teeth man, I'm so excited. I've always wanted to do this since I was a little kid, but I have no idea what's going on with all these tools and shovels and metal things, so I'll mostly listen to Chris and Jake. chris because he knows what he's doing, so hopefully we can find my first

megalodon

, so we get to our place here, we're going to start digging, hopefully we'll find some good things, we're looking for a big megalith. in shark teeth that are as big as our hand, but whatever you know, it will be very fun to find out that Tristan has never done this before, so even if he finds a small one he will be scared, but let's do it, let's see if Tristan can find it. the first one very fast, although it bounces back and forth like that, you know, as long as you can feel it move outside the mesh at the bottom and then every once in a

while

it just bounces really hard in the water, okay, yeah , this is difficult, there you have it.

I'm already fucking addicted, it's fun to show friends stuff like this, man, because you get addicted the first time. Not only did Tristan find the first one, but he found two others on a stingray paddle plate here and he's looking for more first sifters. I found four shark teeth. This is the first one. It's very small, but it's great. I always wanted to do this.

I mean it's the kind of point that Hernando Dang is a murderous assassin, so he's probably between 500 and 1000 years old. Wow, that's a killer. Nice guy. I had never found one before. He is the first in a rarity. Chris out of uh out of. ten to be the rarest, what do you think it would be? I've probably found a hundred stitches in my life and I've only found one of these complete because they're always very thin, yeah, so they tend to be very fragile and usually these pieces are broken, so to get them in perfect condition , that is very, very strange.
Probably a 6 out of 10, I'd say I can't believe I found it. I wasn't looking for these. I was looking for. for shark teeth and I guess this is on the same layer, but that's cool. I'm going to be very careful with that and save what works. I can see through the material that increases the value. This is really high. quality flint, I would say probably I don't know, between $400 and $600, probably go, something like that is pretty good. I didn't find any shark teeth on that attempt, but I did find an arrowhead, but let's stick with that and hopefully find some nice shark teeth.
We're looking for those big ones, like I said. Tristán already found a pair, but let's continue with the second scoop. I already found a small lemon shark. Yes, the lemon shark shakes too. I found a damn arrowhead which is amazing. With these big sieves, we have giant holes because we want to go through as much dirt and gravel as possible so we can find those big maglets in the shark teeth, but the downside is that you're losing those super small shark teeth. So with this sieve here there are many smaller squares. I'm going to put this in the ground and dig where I've been sifting in hopes of finding some little ones.
Well, let's see if we find something. I already see one. I just got a super small lemon shark too, it's good. I put it here in my bag, let's see what else we have. Oh, I have another one. It's broken. I'm not really sure exactly what type of shark tooth it is, but that's the second one. so far let's go ahead and put that in the bag too oh look here's a super small one no I'm losing it I've got it good so there's another little one Chris said this little one here my forearm is a shark lower bull.
It's also a super small baby and I put it in my bag right there, oh look at that one that's a lemon, right, yeah, yeah, I found a lemon shark tooth. Tristan Sully Tristan said he saw this when I was moving it around, but then I moved it and I lost it, but that's a good one, it's like a perfect necklace-sized one, oh look, I have another one, another baby lemon shark, right , Chris, yeah, super super small, Kirsten is like I'm about to get a small sieve, it's fun to find these. small shark teeth, you can almost find them everywhere, but we are looking for the big ones, like I said, they are a little rarer to find, but it is still a lot of fun to find the small ones.
I better have another one here. five thousand seven hundred and seven so a lot what is that Chris what is that that's an alligator two very cute alligator teeth look at that how big is an alligator do you think uh it's hard to say because its teeth can be different sizes depending on the position like that I would say which is quite big, I don't want to invite myself. An incredible crocodile tooth. Put it in the bag. It's been going very well for me so far. I found some really cool stuff. And uh, it looks like I'm in the right places, finding some cool teeth, so.
We've been digging for a

while

and we found some little shark teeth, they're cool, but you know we're looking for that big one, so I think what we're going to do is change it up a little bit and we're going to walk around. upstream and try to find a new spot, but let's take our here and do that, we're on Amazon guys, so Chris and I just found a new spot and we think this might be like the really good gravel that we're looking for. If it's hard as gravel, the better and I've dug a couple of times and already found some dugong bones, but we're going to keep at it and hopefully find that big shark tooth we're looking for.
I just filled my sieve with a bunch of Gravel, hopefully I have a tooth here, but let's go ahead and sift it, look, okay, so all that effort, no teeth, it's still there, okay though, oh, there it is , look, it's beautiful, friend, if that's over, that's how cool it is. like the gray one and then the black one right there oh my gosh this is the closest meg I found to almost a full tooth Chris you said this is like they eat something this is food damage where it broke, I think that's what makes it more special though, that's cool, you know, if it was big to have a broken heart, but a small one like that where they're speeding up it's like that's amazing, that's amazing, so I haven't seen it yet. finished checking out, we got one that we've been looking for a lot, man this is tough, this is awesome, this is the third one though, we got one in there so we got three broken so far, but they're still really cool fawns so I've seen some of Jake's videos where he does this. and it looks like so much fun but you would never think how much work goes into this and like I'm dying right now my arms my muscles my fingers my hands hurt but this is amazing finding all these teeth is just ridiculous . right guys, so we've been jumping around here and found some nice shark teeth, but again, you know it's not the big megalodon we're looking for, but Chris said it might have some good gravel in the scary deeper waters, so I'm going to go There it's like I was hoping to find something good.
There alligators here. Oh, it's so cold, man, this is so creepy, we're taking every measure to get these big megalodon teeth. Jake Jake hasn't found one yet, so he says, "I better do it." Go do some more diving, I just found a pretty good size one, it's a little broken, but we're on them, they're here, man, I'm so excited, not only because we just bought pizza, but I think I just potentially found the Biggest shark tooth of my life so far, Justin was actually up here, he was asking where we were. I told him we were here and he brought us the pizza, but I was about to get the GoPro to show this, but I saw my screen, but I haven't seen it properly yet, but I think this is potentially the biggest one of the day, man, check it out, oh I actually have two, oh look at this, oh my gosh, that's the biggest tooth of my life, wow. and actually look I found another one right there, I think it's a mako, but this is a big megalodon shark tooth, it's the biggest one I've ever found, it's perfect my friend, oh my god, they can be as big as you . the whole hand, obviously this one isn't that big, but it's the biggest one I've ever found and I'm so excited right now.
I worked so hard for this that I could have given up hours ago, but you know, I tried hard and I got super. luck and found the best one oh my god you all don't know what this means to me. I worked very hard for this. Wow, Chris, what do you think of that man, he's amazing? Not a tooth is missing. No, there isn't one. the tooth is missing if you want to go on a shark tooth adventure like me and find shark teeth like this I will put Chris and Kyle's link in the description below you can go on a guided trip like me but know they are My friends, We come here and have a good time, but you can actually pay to go on a guided trip to do exactly the same thing with Chris himself, so definitely check it out if you want, it's an amazing opportunity.
