The Best Megalodon Tooth Hunting Site I Ever Found
Vložit

- I don't throw around the word "best" especially when it comes to hunting megalodon teeth because there have been so many good spots during my 30+ years of collecting, but I feel confident in using it here. I can't believe how lucky I got finding this spot. It was completely untouched and the bottom of the dig was just at the top of the fossil bearing formation. That meant all I had to do was look down in some spots to find teeth, and in the rest, I only had to dig off a foot or two of overburden. There were bones everywhere which is the tell-tale indicator of megalodon and other fossil shark teeth. It didn't take long to dig one out, then another, and another. Then when I walked on the piles after heavy rain there were more big teeth. All together I was able to collect this site for about a week and I found 17 complete megalodon teeth in that short amount of time. I'm not planning on retiring anytime soon, but it is going to be very difficult to top this spot. Summerville, I love you!
soooo is the meg tooth not rare or what?
great question! it depends on your definition of rare I suppose. on one hand, meg teeth are not rare. consider that megalodon as a species lived at least 10 million years and they existed globally. one individual would lose hundreds, if not thousands in a lifetime. imagine how many teeth every shark lost cumulatively during that time! on the other hand, nice megalodon teeth are rare. of all the teeth i mentioned before, many did not fossilize at all or were completely annihilated by natural erosion at some point since they were lost. Only a scarce few of all megalodon teeth ever shed survived to be recognizable as shark teeth today. these sharks ate whales and had tremendous bite force so many of the teeth broke during feeding. lots of incomplete teeth fossilized. fewer teeth were complete when they fell from the sharks' mouths. Some of those broke over time due to natural processes like drying out and becoming wet again. the salt in the water is the worst because when a tooth dries, salt crystals form and bust the tooth apart from the inside. so basically everything is against a tooth surviving tens of millions of years in complete condition. those are the ones people want and they ARE rare.
@@blackriverfossils please tell us where this was
@@kylieharrington1085 yes
Megalodon teeth can be sold for millions of dollars if sold to archaeologist
Its so rare
This guy is just picking rare Megladon teeth that can be millions of years old like its strawberry picking

I remember watching this video back when I was in 6th grade starting middle school. I was such a lover of sharks they were my favorite animals. Coming back to this video for nostalgia since I am graduating high school now in like less than two days. This video always been cool to watch.
welcome back! thanks for watching and for your comment. congratulations on your graduation!
Imagine your a meg in heaven and you watch some guy picking up your teeth
@Mike Grover my friend thought I was watching something that's inappropriate
Stuffzz woooow
Its like a tooth fairy but we don’t give him any money back because he’s dead
*you are
*Angery*
did anyone else randomly come to this video
Ayianna Bailey yeah
Ayianna Bailey yep me XD
Ayianna Bailey yes but is this fake it seems fake
Sharon Winrick n
Sharon Winrick i have been there
I have no interest in shark teeth but I watched the whole video because you can tell how excited this man is and it makes me excited lmao
I did the same thing! He’s so excited!!
even if they're millions of years old?!!!
each tooth of meg costs 450 $, that's why he is excited my friend !
this is my favorite comment I've ever seen
I could look for shark teeth all day. It seems so relaxing and rewarding to find history and get it up out of the dirt. It really interest me because I do a lot of digging and manual labor sometimes with landscaping. It has just always fascinated me.
Same
How is he picking megaldon teeth like it’s not even a hard thing to do.. yet I’m laying in my bed wishing I could get my hands on just one ☝️
❤🧡
Me too
And I cant even find my tv remote!
Agrreed!!! I would settle for finding one of the broken ones!!
They actually arent that rare(: just rare to us cause we dont go out digging every day. Megs just like todays shark lose thousands of teeth in their lifespan so with all the megalodons that used to live around the world theres millions of their teeth laying around. Just gotta know where to look
But imagine a shark hunting for human teeth
Yeah ikr
Hahahaha yep its very funny
I was thinking that too.
Don’t even start
lol
That place used to be a dental clinic
For sharks eh ??

This is literally my favorite video on CZcams. It’s like the once in a lifetime opportunity to not only find a HUGE Meg, but also an AMAZING site that could yield hundreds. Great work!

DANG , Dark
There are no accidents
i keep coming back to this video every year or so XD love that you still reply to comments what amazing fossils
thanks for coming back to visit! I'm still collect regularly and I remember this spot like it was yesterday.
I can't get over how many large ones u found. Amazing. 😊
How do you calmly find meg teeth??
Karshmellow :/ I guess because he is looking for them so he expects what they look like?
ITS FAKE onlyonein the world
Idk if you've been doing it for a long time I guess you can be calm with it
He has probably found so many really rare fossils that hes pretty calm with it.

I come back to this video every once and a while because it’s just so relaxing for some reason
thanks for watching!
Wow man... im speechless! I found a huge tooth on a beach in Florida and I could barely contain myself, I can only imagine what it was like at this site! Amazing!

Lol that sounds he makes tho when he finds a teeth XD *ohhhhhh that’s a nice one* 😂
OGLilGamer yeah lol
. It's almost orgasmic lol
For the rest of us, they can be very rare , like an orgasm. They aren't being made any more, and some leave circulation each year. Mine's over 60 years , in my home; about 4 plus inches. It's not perfect, but unless you have a dozen or so of them, it'll make your eyes open wide, when you think it came from an animal the size of a standard school bus, and could swallow you whole if it wanted to.
OGLilGamer go to 8:05 and close your eyes. Either i have a dirty mind or it sounds like something else
Sounds like he’s in a porno every time he finds a tooth
OGLilGamer IKR
U make it look easy to find these XD
Wow! I can't imagine the size of them when alive.
Thank you for showing this ✌🏻😎
Wow you have an eye for these teeth. Most of the time I don’t see it until you reach for it. I’m fossil obsessed. Love your channel! I’m a new subscriber. Loved & Subbed!

Amazing teeth finds, i really enjoyed watching this..
Hello All.
Please advise me on how to go about finding out what type of fossil I discovered on one of my walks.
It's small and " of a winded creature of some type sort ?"
The stone has 1 whole wing embedded on it ?
Any advice would be most welcome.Cheers.

So you found a random pond full of shark teeth
Payas Singh it’s in Aurora North Carolina Lee Creek Quarry.
@@efeyaran Then why did it say Summerville, South Carolina!?
Do they allow the public in?
@@efeyaran definitely not Nc the teeth are the wrong color for Aurora
Well I’m not sure but their is actually a beach in florida called the shark teeth beach because their is like a lot of teeth found on the shore that you can right away see so yeah it’s possible also I think that’s a ocean but in the side
This is so relaxing to watch
#yup
Yep
*insert loud popcorn eating sounds
This is such an amazing video! I've spent hundreds of hours fossil hunting on the beach and haven't even found 1 meg tooth. I am so jealous!
if you find pieces of megalodon teeth on any beaches you hunt, you might try snorkeling or diving there for a chance at a whole one.
@@blackriverfossils that's a good idea. I have a bay in mind where that could work. Thanks for the idea! 😁
i remember watching this video back in elementary can’t remember what year it was but coming back to it brings back a lot of nostalgia now i’m a sophmore in high school time flies

@methehappyone Is it near the Pan handle area? Like Navarre/ Pensacola area?
venice beach. maybe dig for them in the sand because they are more dense than tiny teeth
Great finds. That last one, holy smokes.

Finding a meg tooth is on my bucket list. Ive been fascinated with finding fossils since i was a child, and even wanted to be a marine biologist because of my love for sharks. I tried looking a few times at Calvert Cliffs MD, which is the closest place to me hometown to my knowledge. You just made me one jealous man haha
EnragedSeaCow Calvert cliffs are also a pretty good place to find megs. In Summerville I got a guided tour to one of the many shallow creeks Megs are known to be (many of the creeks look just like they do in the vids). How I got my first complete Meg.
How can you find shark teeth that are so cool
EnragedSeaCow usane

2-300 bucks for the broken one at one minute in, I've seen worse in high end shops for specimens of that size LOL. What a great site! Thanks for showing!
Some of my best fossil collecting was also in SC some years back at the old CEEEMent Factory LOL!
Little by little each shark tooth starts to look like a heart
No they don’t.
Did anyone randomly hit this vid

Makenzie Ebert yea😂I was watching Colby Brock and TFIL
I was watching DALLYMD then i came here

Ya know just the usual meg tooth, like this is just a casual thing.
Just to be able to hold one of these teeth would be awesome knowing that you're touching the tooth that was once part of a megalodon millions of years ago and knowing that the tooth has been inside the flesh of other prehistoric animals is insane to think about.
Amazing place and what a collection of rare and super rare ancient shark teeth,thank you so much for sharing this brilliant find with us al,Thank you :D
thanks for watching!
Thank God they are extinct with teeth that big
I disagree, it would help with population control

What awesome finds ! That will be hard to top !
WOW So thats a construction site? They have just dug deep enough to hit the fossil layer? So very cool! We use to dig in the spoil dried out pools from the Savannah river dredging. I have heard you cant do that any more. Sad if true. You had to dig deep to get the big ones but most of the time they would be chipped from the pipes. I want to go on one of these trips inland either by river or a dig site some day! Thanks for sharing!

My dream fossil to obtain is a megalodon tooth from the Fossil era. My favorite formation is hawthorn formation XD

These digs are very satisfying but do you know the best place in the Carolinas to find meg teeth I know the beach has several meg teeth even Florida has them mostly on the oceans I’m guessing you need a (permit to find meg teeth?) Im sure there are some river beds to encounter them
rivers are the best place to find them in SC and you do need a permit to do so. They can also be found in Florida (Venice Beach especially) and you do not need a permit there to collect shark teeth, but you do if you want to pick up vertebrate fossils.
Back after some years to watch this again. This must be by far the most watched fossil hunting video ever!!! 😅
its done quite well to be sure. way more than i ever thought possible. welcome back!
I have learned more about shark teeth in this video then I have in my inter life 😆👌👍👍
Great video. Never seen anything like this. Kinda mind blowing!
Wild. Incredible day of shark-tooth hunting.
Fascinating to think how those teeth were once in massive ferocious sharks.
Hey..i live in St Augustine Fl..is it possible to dig anywhere in the state and reveal the era in which these sharks lived,?I guess what im asking was the entire state once covered with a prehistoric ocean to where these teeth can be found everywhere if you happen to dig deep enough..or are certain areas more likely due to geologic processes?is there a way to look at an area and determine the likelihood of it..i see that south Carolina seems to have an abundance of them.im sure they just didn't live there so whats making that unique and what caused these teeth to be more accessible in that area?
Florida is loaded with fossils too. The shark teeth are more on the west side, but I have found isolated teeth on the atlantic side too. when you consider actual area, Florida has more than SC because everything here is generally east of 95 whereas florida is nearly the entire state. But where we hunt in SC is special because prehistoric river systems concentrated the fossils in massive piles during the last ice age. today, new rivers and creeks erode those ancient deposits, sometimes excavations expose them too.
Ive watched this too many times! 😘
Great episode!!! Nice complete teeth and awsome vid
K, Dino dental, was wondering: did the originals drop these all over then grow replacements, or just spat them out in last days so to speak ?
Are they teeth or fossilised replicants and if the latter how come they're all in one as if just pulled ¿?
All sharks have rows of teeth that move forward as if on a conveyor belt when they grow. once they reach the front of the jaw they eventually just fall out and the ones behind replace them. it happens more often during feeding, but sometimes they just fall out, and this occurs the whole lifetime of sharks. it is estimated that tiger sharks can lose as many as 30 thousand teeth during their lives. add up all the sharks alive for hundreds of millions of years and you can easily see why sharks teeth are the most commonly collected fossil. all the teeth in this video originally fell to the bottom of the ocean millions of years ago and are now fossils, which are formed over millions of years as the organics are replaced by minerals.
Dude those are specimens!!!! Well done bro!!!!!!
Since Florida was underwater so many times it is one of the most popular place to find Megladon teeth and other fossils
Would you know (or be willing to share) any hotspots in florida? Im going to take a vaca trip with my family, we will prbly be mkre of around the destin areas.
@@busybees.r.c.1836 u can look at farms or abandoned since the meg lived 10 million years ago
@@busybees.r.c.1836 depending on where in FL construction sites can be good if they dig deep enough. Usually when they dig ponds. I had crazy good/dumb luck on a trip last month in one.
@@davidradun8460 thanks I live in Kansas so its pretty different in terms of what can be found, but Florida is one of the places we love to vacation at when we can. Not that we have a vacation every year or anything like that 😂

Used to live in Summerville, SC and had a lot of fun with the kids digging for shark teeth in little streams. Super easy to find. Used to have a jar of them. Neighbors dug up large shark teeth from the soil under there garage when they replaced the cement pad. Even watched a crew dig out an ancient Leatherback Turtle from a small stream 30 miles from the ocean. Super cool.
I remember that turtle excavation. Cool stuff!
That’s pretty cool dude, I assume the black river you named your channel after is based on the edisto river, which I believe is the largest undammed black river in the northern hemisphere (I’ve spent a lot of time floating kayaking and paddle boarding that river) I grew up in archdale and still live in the area- North Charleston. So when my parents had their pool dug when I was a young teenager I found a bunch of shark teeth and a megalodon tooth but not whole but still cool to find . You really have a good eye for it!
thats cool man! you are the first person who ever told me they found teeth when they dug a swimming pool. i always thought it would be possible in the right spot and archdale definitely is. thanks for watching!
