How to Find Shark Teeth

Sharks lose hundreds of teeth every day. Several people collect them and show them. This will show you how to find one.

Steps

    1
    Know what Shark teeth look like. They have a pointy top and a thin body. They look like a triangle without a top. Remember everything you find that is triangular isn't a shark tooth, they could be rocks or stones so be sure that you know the looks of a tooth
    2
    Beaches are great places to look for shark teeth.

    Find shark popular areas. Sharks will live in salt water only. So don't go looking in your local pond. Sharks are more common in hot, humid places such as Hawaii and Florida. Although they can be found at the poles.
    3
    Be prepared. You won't find a shark tooth in five minutes. Be prepared to stay there for a couple hours. Bring sun-screen and some water to stay there properly without harm.
    4
    Look hard. Don't just glance at a area of sand and say, "No teeth here". Dig in a place where sand is unusually elevated. Teeth won't always be on the surface. Sand constantly covers up old sand with new sand. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
    5
    Ask others. People may be able to tell you about shark tooth hot-spots or places where they commonly found teeth. If you want, you can bring them on the trip to ensure you don't miss any teeth. Maybe even start your own Shark tooth club!

Tips

    Waves may bring in new teeth, so check areas multiple times.
    If you plan on staying long, bring sunscreen.
    Bringing a trowel will help you digging.

 Warnings

    Shark teeth are sharp.
    Shark teeth are very fragile so don't break them.
