Shark tooth hunting in Venice Florida + bonus snorkeling. What to expect visiting Caspersen Beach.

- čas přidán 4. 07. 2020
- This was our first attempt to go hunting for shark teeth in Venice, Florida. We decided to visit Caspersen Beach, which came recommended from someone who watches my channel (thank you!). I'll show you the tools we brought, how we found the teeth and what else you can expect if you want to go hunting for teeth at Caspersen.
We parked at: 4100 Harbor Drive, Venice, FL 34285
Oh yay! This is what I've been waiting to see. Great lil device your husband came up with. Loved this video.
I don't think we would have found anything if we didn't have that floating screen!
Love the video. My favorite place to hunt for shark teeth is Manasota Key. There are three beach areas there and we always find good teeth. FYI...some of those “rocks” aren’t rocks. They are fossils, but not sure exactly what kind. I think one of them was a fossilized horse tooth and some may be fossilized whale bone. I used to have a book of fossils you can find on the beach, but I can’t locate it at the moment. So, don’t throw those away. They are still very cool! Can’t wait for your next video!
Good thing my husband is so into rocks! I'm picking up shells and he's running around looking for hag stones and whatnot. We probably still have those pieces! It was so much fun to try something new and now we have all the tools we need if we decide to do it again - which we probably will. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment and of course, thank you for watching!!!
Yes, when I was shark tooth hunting near Venice yrs ago; along with teeth, I found some of those strange brown "rocks" that almost looked like fossilized bone or something. I used them in art pieces. I also found a strange ridged fossil-like piece that from a shark tooth/fossil book I bought, I discovered it was a ray mouth plate, really cool! Some fun hunting on those beaches.
Love this video, cool bonus of underwater footage, thanks for sharing 😊
Those teeth were a great find!! I wonder why you find more at that beach. I loved the fact that your hubby made a necklace right away. Your strainer was a great one for the job. I bet people would love one of those for shifting shells.
That was so cool!! That would be a great day beach for families because you don’t have to pay for parking and the water is nice and calm and they have bathrooms, which is always great when you have small kids.
That was a very cool walk, thanks!!😊🐬
Its a great little beach with really nice facilities. A fantastic way to spend a summer day in the water hunting for goodies!
I visited Caspersen Beach in January. I love this beach. We found a lot of different treasures here.
I can see why you love it! We would like to go back in the future.
My grandparents moved to Venice in 1961 and collect hundreds of teeth over the years. Collecting isn't what it used to be. Love your videos.
I can only imagine how it used to be. At least there's still some teeth to be found!
The long black pieces are Stingray barbs and /or Stingray teeth or palate. The others ones were def shark teeth. Just went to this beach yesterday! Thanks for the tips for the next trip!
Great video! Glad you showed this beach - I have this on my list to visit while we are there in September- thanks for the info
Glad it was helpful!
You are a gem!!! Thank you so much for the cerith / auger lesson. Happy shelling!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed and learned something from my video!
Thank you for sharing! I love, love, love the sifter your husband made!! We used to go to Englewood beach in the mid 70's & I found lots of shark's teeth. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've learned so much & really enjoy your videos!
It’s so beautiful there, surfs a little ruff at times, beautiful black sand too 🙂
We were lucky it was a pretty calm day. And yes - that sand was much darker than we're used to down here in SWFL!
Thank you for the cerith and auger lesson. I have been wondering what the heck the difference was lol. Love your weekly videos! I wait for them on sundays!
Oh you are so welcome! If there are questions you have about any of the goodies I find feel free to ask! Thank you for watching!!
thanks for information .loved your video .your very good like how you explain the names I'm just starting with shells and it's a good way to learn the names.it's not easy to tell from a picture. thanks
I'm glad I can help you ID your shells. Thank you so much for watching!
I lived in Venice for 12 yrs and use to go to Caspersen beach daily when the beach was much wider, so sad that it has diminished. I have jugs filled with sharks teeth and others with shells, so much so that before we left the area mu husband made me take back tons of shells.
You used to get to go to the beach daily? Amazing! I would have tons of teeth and shells too! I've already brought some of my shells back to the beach for "recycling." I will often chat with other shellers on the beach and I find great joy in giving away the shells they happen to be looking for. Thanks so much for sharing AND watching my video!
Love watching your trips on the beach. We were down on Manasota Beach Friday and everyone there was looking for sharks teeth as well. Thank you for sharing and giving information to help us identify shells!
Thanks for the lovely comment! I hadn't heard that Manasota was also a place to look for teeth. I hope you had a great day at the beach and found some beachy goodies!
SWF Beach Life most of the people down at Manasota we’re hunting sharks teeth. I was able to find other cool shells there 😉🐚
Thank you for the video. My only grandchild lives in FL and when I visit and we go to the beach, we pick shells. I have to keep my shell names polished so I don’t forget. With each video I keep refreshed and for that I thank you.
You are so very welcome! I get such joy from reading comments like this and it’s nice to know others get to learn a little something from my beach visits. I hope your next visit with your grandchild is wonderful! Stay safe!
Don't know if anyone has mentioned a CZcamsr named PaleoCris or not, but, he also lives in Florida. He has a degree in paleontology, I think. He used to work for a museum and he is very knowledgeable about fossils and all the various types of sharks teeth. He has other adventures on some of his videos such as searching for gem stones and other fossils, but, he has alot on sharks teeth.
Thanks for another great video. 🐚🐚🐚🦈🦈🦈
PaleoChris helped me choose the right UV flashlight! I don't get a chance to watch his content as much as I'd like but when I do catch his videos I'm fascinated!
@@SWFBeachLife I want to hear your voice when you find one of those giant megalodon sharks teeth like he finds. 🦈🦷😳🤪
@@janicewalker9719 I would be squealing with delight!!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. Can't wait to make it down and do my own shelling again after this pandemic.
I hope you can too! The shells will be here waiting for you in the meantime. Thank you for watching!
I also found a similar land snail 🐌 shell on our trip in Naples a few weeks ago...I found it in the parking lot of a seafood restaurant!
LOL! That is awesome! And much more impressive than me finding one in a beach parking lot! Thanks for sharing. This is going to crack me up all day!
💛💙 Subscriber 1,000. Can't wait to see more.
Much love from Kentucky 💙💛
YAY!!! Thank you so much for subscribing! I promise to bring you the beach every, single week!
Love the necklace !
That husband is a handy guy to have around!
Looks like all the black pieces you found are fossils, bones, etc. perhaps even a piece of a fossil alligator tooth (the rounded piece in the tooth corner of your tray)...interesting prehistoric finds; thanks for sharing. I believe your big barnacle is possibly a fossil too...A lot of little teeth might be too small for that mesh size...also, you might familiarize yourself with what mantra Ray teeth plate fossils look like...I bet that beach has lots of those, and they are very easy to spot. I go fossil hunting, but I just surface beachcomb...but places I go along the east coast aren't as crowded as your beach, so the sifter makes good sense then
Since making this video I have learned what a ray teeth plate looks like 🤗 I actually feel like I learn something new all the time! This is THE SPOT to look for shark's teeth, so I assume anyone who's hunting for them will show up here. Our crowds are seasonal over here, so at least it's nice and quiet in the summer!
When I looked for shark's teeth, a really fine mesh screen colander worked great.
You'd need SOMETHING to sift through the sand and what not. A mesh colander sounds like a splendid idea!
Very cool!
Thank you!
I live in Venice, we are 4 miles from this beach. My husband and I love tooth and shell hunting and snorkeling on Caspersen. We walk much further south of the parking, but be aware if you come back and venture that way...there are nude sunbathers the further you go out.
Bwha ha ha! We will consider ourselves warned! Are there any other good places to snorkel other than those rock jettys?
Why not?!!:)
Ohhhhh our favorite 😍
Awesome video, and I like the sifter. We found shark's teeth on Gasparilla Island last month.
That's awesome! Did you use a sifter? I don't think we would have found any without it!
@@SWFBeachLife No, I like to sit in the water, scoop with my hands, and look at what I got. I guess I was using my hands as a sifter. I didn't find as many as you did though!
Very cool, shark tooth hunting! ❤What a great place to live!
I love living here!
Great video! Your hub is quite handy! I love that! I beg my brother to make inventions for me! I want a sand scoop now! (🤔 have to ask him) Thanks again! Really enjoy! Happy late 4th of July 🇺🇸
Thanks so much for the great comment! I was having a hard time finding a sand scoop down here and was lucky to get the one we have from a neighbor. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video!
I think the land snail is a Cuban brown snail. I remember randomly finding one in my apartment and having no idea what it was lol
You are right! I've learned a bunch since back then and I continue to find those cuban brown snails every now and then.
Thanks for sharing how you made your sifter. I am going to have my husband make me one. Great information video, thank you.
You are very welcome! I hope you find lots of teeth!
I know this us an older video but just happened to see it. We live in Venice, moved here May 2020 Love this beach for shark teeth and shells but we walk further south
Good to know! We were there on Saturday and didn't find much at all. We'll have to walk more to the South next time!
Loved the video
Nicely done :) Your land snail is a cuban brown snail I believe. (Zachrysia provisoria)
Thank you for watching and thanks for the info!
I have been there, but it was not low tide. I had no luck so I have to go back and try again.
BUMMER! I highly recommend some sort of scoop and something to (like a floating grate) look at what you're scooping. I have to believe it will be so much easier that way. Good luck!
Interesting thank you🤩🤩💜
yo mama ❤️
COOL
🦈🦈🦈
👍
What was the orange 'stuff' on the rocks when you first started snorkeling in this video?
(I'm catching up on some of your older videos while you're working on your auction right now. Need to have my weekly beach "fix!")
Thanks!!
I would be guessing, but it looks like some sort of soft coral. There is a rather nasty coral called, Fire Coral, that is quite painful when touched, but I don't think that's what it is. I wish it had been just a little clearer. I snorkeled down in the Keys and I can't wait to share that too!
Thank you! I love that you actually answer questions!!@@SWFBeachLife
❤
Some of the other stuff is ray plates
Yes - thank you!
The ones you said they could beshark teeth someone told me and I remember they all stink ray spines
Thanks for letting me know!
I never sifted I usually just find sharks teeth on the beach
Lucky! I've never found one just sitting on the beach :)
you inspired me to go to sanibel! unfortunately, i was shocked that we didn’t find any of the shells you show :///. we went on a monday morning and arrived at about 6:30am. any idea where al the shells were?
karis Which beach did you visit? The shelling has definitely been “slow” lately. I went to Sanibel 2 weekends ago and found some shells, but nothing like it had been a few months ago. And...we walk like 6 miles (3 miles each way) so I think we increase our chances by sheer distance alone!
SWF Beach Life i’ll remember that for next time! i went to turner beach and bowman’s beach. bowman’s was okay but turner was practically barren! also, in case you were unaware, they closed all the public beaches on sanibel so my options were limited
@@karis2298 UGH! Some beaches on Sanibel are County Beaches and some are run by Sanibel. I'll be sure to check before I head back over there. Bummer you didn't find many shells :(
Wow you did great finding the sharks teeth. Are all sharks teeth black? Or just in the water in the gulf? Thanks for sharing!
I'm not really sure! Most of the ones I see people find are black, but I guess there could be other colors if the teeth are newly lost. Since this was our first time we're just learning!
Fossilized teeth are dark.
Nice video! Have you ever been to fort Walton beach ? Do they have good shells ? My family are planning to go there next year :)
I have not been to Fort Walton Beach, but I do know some of the beaches in the panhandle are good for finding shells. One day I'd like to take a trip up there and check it our for myself.
SWF Beach Life oh okay !
Yes! We are here now.(ft. Walton). We've found many average common shells, but also nice olives, Florida cones, Fighting conchs, 3 Alphabet cones, ceriths, augers, shark eyes, cochinos, purple barnacles, a very few sand dollars, scallops, 3 baby's ears, many sizes of bittersweet(some attached, both sides open with nobody home).
Did your husband use a diamond bit to drill the tooth?
Yes he sure did! He said to be careful because the bit can get very hot!
@@SWFBeachLife thank you. I use that to drill shells.
So beautiful. Why am Am I here?...
Yeah...it was a LONG 3 years we waited. It was torture going home back North!
You’re not afraid of sharks??
We had just researched the statistics of shark attacks in Florida and it was really low, so we figured we're safe.
