- Looking for shark teeth at Mickler's Landing was so much more fun than I expected. I didn't get it right for a while there, but once I asked for help I managed to start finding those teeth.

Oh my gosh! I sure wish this video had been live. I kept wanting to holler out to you where go to find sharks’ 🦈 teeth at Mickler’s. As well as the way to find them. For next time….go to where there are mounds of broken shells such as coquina shells. Have a beach towel to sit on & something to rake through those mounds. Once you start raking, you’ll likely start finding those teeth. They will pile up under those top shells over the months & years. When I was in my 20s a friend & I went to Mickler’s & just a short walk down the beach I decided to check out a big mound near the high tide line. It was low tide when we were there. My friend walked a little further down & we decided to see which of us could find the most teeth. I stuck with my original location & I started using my hand to carefully dig in the mound. I couldn’t believe what I discovered that day. There were 100s of sharks waiting for me! I kept digging & they kept coming. I didn’t want to be greedy, so as I recall I only took away around 150 teeth that day & left plenty for the next person lucky to find my “treasure chest”. My friend wasn’t so lucky. She had gone quite a distance from me that day. If I hadn’t had my 3 year old daughter with me & would’ve most likely followed her & just passed by my magical mound. It was as if my precious little girl had guided me to that very spot. I’m 75 years old now & I’ll never forget that day.
Happy Holidays to you & your husband. ♥️
What a magical shark teeth story! And what you say makes a ton of sense - the teeth will kind of fall beneath the pieces of shells. Well, at least I'll know of next time. Thank you for sharing your incredible day there with us all!
Thank you! Next time i visit FL i want to make that one of my stops!
Good evening, beach friends! I can't say how much I need this tonight. I won't bother you with details, just remember me in your prayers tonight!
I've never found many shells up that way, but snorkeling can yield some coquina stone.
The ocean sounds as if it's whispering peace to my battered soul. I love you, my Beach Angel, but I'm listening to the voice of the sea.
If I recall coreectly, the shark's teeth are a little heavier than the shells, so they're found deeper than the shells. I think that may have been the base of a shark's tooth.
This reminds me of my days at a minerals research lab where, in processing phosphate samples from coastal NC, a large number of HUGE sharks' teeth were found. Sadly, I didn't snag any big ones, but got several of the smaller ones. I think my former stepson got those! Bummer!
Sharmon, you are one of the tribe of people who make your own fun! Your joy at finding puzzle pieces of shells makes my heart so much lighter! Oh, Beach Time! Is it any wonder that those powerful waves beat shells to pieces?
The sea is such a beautiful color today! Hurray for you, dear heart! Now you're cooking with gas! So glad for you!
Thanks, Sharmon, for taking us along on your Atlantic adventure. I'll touch base with you after the holidays.
Much love to all of you who love all things salty and shiny!
Hope your hiludays are as wonderful as you are!
Rebecca, the Lost Mermaid 🌹🧜🐚❤️
Prayers... 😥
Prayers for you!🙏
Prayers.
I'll keep you in my prayers. 🙏🏻
@@debnordman1640Thank you so much! My husband, as you may know, has Alzheimer's and sometimes his anger and aggression are hard to bear. Your prayers mean so much to me! ❤
Shark tooth hunting is one of my favorite things to do. Once your eye is trained to look for them, you get addicted to the hunt. Congrats on your finds!
I can't wait to try it again - it was so relaxing!
Yes, we are definitely blessed on this side of the state!😊 When you go back over there, don't be afraid of cannonball jellyfish. They wont hurt or sting you. The water was a beautiful color! Can't help much with shell ID over there... So I wonder if the shark teeth are more high around Venus. Seems like when I went down there, they were being found in the surf (but not by me😢). I ended up buying some from the Chavises (Salty Reflections). That was a big trip for 3 teeth! 😊 Hmmm... Didn't know there were houses on Cayo Costa. But then all I saw was the beach and state park campground. Looking forward to next week. I had a great experience with my sister there and need to get back. Thanks Sharmon! xxoo
What !! you came to micklers lending!!! That’s my to go beach. Yeah it’s a hit or miss for shells. Went to Keewaydin last month , so I am happy that I have some shells 😄
Ooo that Imperial Venus was new to me and I loved it so pretty and the shark teeth well, was the icing
I love when you travel to new places! Diffrent shells
Same! I wish I could do it more!
I agree with the discolored baby’s ear. I was shelling on the southern Texas coast this weekend and found black and gray baby ears! I never find them in Florida! And so many gorgeous BROKEN shells and discolored shells and Texas sized shells. Just a really different experience than shelling in SWFL!
I love new experiences! I would hit any beach just to check it out.
Awesome imperial venus! Those are such fun finds. They're so easy to miss when they're laying on the other side though. Lately I've been trying to inspect and flip over even the regular venus clams just in case they turn out to be an imperial. As others here have said your mystery broken whelk is a knobbed whelk, and so it the piece at 10:20. They can get almost just as big as the huge lightning whelks and can also be very spiky if you're lucky, they're all over the Carolinas. Congrats on the shark teeth!
Thank you so much! It really was quite enjoyable so I can see the allure of looking for those teeth. I thought the same thing about those imperials - how many did I miss by seeing the reverse side?
Thanks for the knobbed whelk ID too!
I go there all the time!! It is easier at night to find them. The light from your headlamp will reflect off them!!
Someone else said the same thing. I'll remember that for next time!
Thanks!
Lori you are the best!!! 🙏🏼
A blessed festive season and a prosperous 2024
Thank you and Merry Christmas! It’s been a great year
Both the top and the dextral shell are Knobbed Whelks. They look very similar to the Lightning Whelk, but they’re the mirrored version. They are east-coast shells, found a lot in the Carolinas. The orangey-brownish color comes from the high iron-rich clay sediment on the southern east coast. So cool you found some shark teeth!!! I haven’t found any of those yet!
Thanks for the shell ID help!
@@SWFBeachLifeanytime! I have learned so much from you that I am happy when I can return the favor! I spent some time in North Carolina a couple years ago and learned a lot about East Coast shells.
What a surprise! I lived in Jacksonville for a while and visited Mickler’s Beach several times. I always heard it referred to as “Mick” instead of “Mike” I’m glad to know the correct pronunciation. I had the most luck at Little Talbots State Park which is north of Jacksonville, I found a lot of sand dollars there.
Good to know!
I love these black/grey/blue-ish ones which have been burried in the sand, and i think theyve become some of my very favorites!! The imperial clam was a sight to behold ! 🐚🩶🩵💙🐚
Ohhh Shar! What a BEAUTIFUL search day. Not finding all the teeth you wanting will not steal your joy of being at a gorgeous beach on a stunning day! I was right there with you feeling the sand in my toes! Thank you so much for the chat, and taking me along. I'd never been. I'm not all that fond of the Atlantic... it's too chilly for me, but that beach!! Simply amazing day! ❤ I'm spoiled. I love the gulf! Until next Sunday, sweetie!! I'm packed up and ready to go!!
We find shells at porpoise point in st. Augustine 😊
Thanks for sharing and love the sharks teeth, have a wonderful Holiday and see you next Sunday
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! 🎄
The little mystery shell at 5:17 looks like a Threeline Mudsnail. They're all up & down the East Coast.
Thank you!! I have never seen one before!
YES! That is a shark tooth at the 16:15 mark!! Hooray! Hope you have a Happy & Healthy Holiday. Glad you Asked. I Agree. Information is Important! Blessings!!
Some nice finds good find on the shark teeth 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
I'm glad I asked for help! 💜
Hello! I am a newbie. I have been watching for a while on UA-cam. Just decided to subscribe. I so enjoy watching, you get so excited when you find shells. I went and got my little bag of shells and thanks to you can name them all. Haha all 6 different ones. Thanks just had to comment. ❤❤
I'm glad you were able to join in the fun with your shells! 🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚
Sharmon, very best wishes for 2024. Your videos are always amazing.
I hope you have a very Happy New Year too!
Happy Holidays my beachy friend ❤
Same to you beach friend! 🎄🏝️
Yes, shelling in NE FL is hit & miss. Some days I don't have enough bags. I don't have patience to look for shark teeth, so thanks for the hints. This is why we are so excited to come to your neighborhood in Feb!
Yeah, our beaches are pretty stellar. I loved trying something different though!
Watched this just now and halfway through my youngest son 9 1/2 years old, influenced by his mother to be a beach comber too(!), came and joined me when you searched for black sharkteeth! He understod most of what you said in English due to English classes in school, gaming and UA-cam!😅 He said : Can we go there, Mom?! I want to find those too!!!🥹 We are actually planning on going over to the US in the summer, visiting friends and relatives! Most of them live in Minnesota, but some live in Florida…! Would looove to be able to go there at those beaches!😍
Bye from 🇸🇪
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🕯
Merry Christmas to you too! I hope you do get to come to Florida and I hope your son finds shark teeth!
Thank you Sharmon. Merry Christmas 🎄 ☃️❄️
So exciting to see you at my beach. Yes, ask for help, every one is always happy to help. The whelk you found looks like a worn down Knob Whelk.
It probably was a knob whelk - thank you!!!
So fun! Glad you found some
Persistence paid off!
I found tons of sharks teeth at Englewood west coast Florida !!
That's awesome!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you for taking me along again.
Happy Holidays! I almost NEVER miss a Sunday night video but with all the excitement I just finally got to sit down and wanted to come on and say…my husband hit the ball out of the park and got us a Marco vacation! I am beyond excited to be coming back it’s been far far too long. After visiting multiple times a year growing up it’s been almost 13 years since we have last been down. I will be booking my shell tour this week and I can’t wait!
What a wonderful gift! I hope you have a great time planning your trip and an even better time experiencing Florida once you get here!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Love your videos.
Same to you beach friend! 🎄🏝️
I was expecting you and hubby in the water with the screen like you did on your last shark tooth hunt. This one is definitely a sitting down hunt😅. I too love the black shells. Very nice beach too, hugs and stay safe xx
On the West Coast of Florida you can get in the water and sift for the teeth but on the East Coast they do things totally differently! The Atlantic Ocean and the drop off on the East Coast of Florida is game changer. I'm just glad I came home with a few of those shark teeth!
Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas!!!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas too! 🎄
Beautiful shells and the water is amazing too! Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! 🎄
Very cool sharks teeth ! Merry Christmas Sharmon ❤ I may have to take a trip East !
I hope you had a Merry Christmas too!
Wow! You came up north to my neck of the woods. I think your beaches are packed with shells. ❤
Beautiful shells .Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎅 🎉.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas too! 🎄
SWF🐚+🎄=❤!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Merry Christmas to you! Thanks for sharing your shark teeth adventure!!! ❤
I hope you had a Merry Christas too! 🎄
YES! I'm loving the Shark Teeth. Very cool 🐚 🦈 😎
Greetings, Sharmon! Thanks for sharing your shark teeth hunt with us! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too!
I went to Casey Key as a child and I found tons of sharks teeth! I adore finding sharks teeth! Merry Christmas!!
Happy Holidays Sharmon!!!❤️🎄❄️🎅🤍🌟🎄🛷⛸️
Happy Holidays to you too!!! 🎄🏝️
Happy Christmas and New Year from Scotland ❤
Happy New Year from Florida! 🌴🌊🐚❤️
Dear Sharmon,
What a fun experience to hunt for shark teeth! And you did manage to find 3! (and a half😉)
I really love the black shells. And it's amazing to see that they stay black, even when they get back to the fresh air again.
Dear Sharmon and dear viewers of this channel; I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! ❤
I hope that you all have a wonderful time with your family and friends!
Big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤️, Ilona
It's like visiting a different planet when I visit the beaches on the other side of the state - LOL! I love seeing the different specimens and I'm glad I finally found some shark teeth. I just needed a little help 😃 I hope you had a nice holiday! ❤️
Love the black shells also ! 😊 this video is a great Christmas present , thank-you so much , I wish you a nice big megalodon one day !
All worry , stress , anxiety are gone when I see the world through your eyes and hear your voice ! Pure therapy! Lol Happy Holidays !
I hope you had a Merry Christas too! 🎄
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄☃️ fr Saskatoon Saskatchewan 🇨🇦 I love spending Sunday evenings with you and love the beach time( sometimes I wish it was longer, I love the sound of waves crashing)
I will forever think of that Muppets song, "Moving right along" whenever I see the city of Saskatchewan. AND...my daughter has a book, Altoona Baboona that was one of our favorites - the baboon was from Saskatoon! You one comment is bringing me so many memories! Thanks for spending some of your Sunday's with me and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! 🎄
I used 4 five gallon buckets of that type of beach shell/sand in my big saltwater tanks and it looks really great and most of the fish kinda pick at it and move it around the tank.
Hope you are having a happy weekend and holiday! ~ always look forward to your videos. Lately on the east coast the weather has been crazy its been very shellmas, especially in the south east (my area) which have brought in a lot of goodies to the shore its insane! (some live creatures too which is not normal but lets hope for the best that their situation gets better)
I'm hoping to try a winter storm day on the East Coast t his winter. I'll see if I can drag myself away from my SW beaches over here though!
Hi Sharmon! Well, this was quite different. I have jars of shark teeth from the SC beaches that I have collected all my life. It takes patience!! I am so use to seeing you do SWFla shelling that I almost felt bad there wasn't much in the line of shells. The further north up the east coast the more you see tan, gray and black. That is why I love SWFLA shells so much. All the color and variety. So glad you found some shark teeth. That is like a therapy!! Have a wonderful Christmas!
It was really fun hunting for those teeth. If I am ever in that area again I am stoping back at that beach!
Merry Christmas! Bless you for appreciating the east coast shelling experience... as someone who's lived in DE their whole life up until this summer and have mostly found pieces of worthwhile specimen on Atlantic beaches, I do not. lol
The East Coast is tough for shelling, but when it does give up a shell it's normally a really good one!
I'm lol at Venus instead of Venice. 😂😂
I don't know if u know this but when I lived in Venice I always had gd luck finding sharks teeth at Venice Beach
Yes, we had been up to Venice to look for teeth but I swear this was easier once I finally figured out how to find the teeth.
Merry Christmas!
I hope you had a Merry Christmas too and I hope you have a great New Year!
I've never been to Mickler's, but I do live on the north/central east coast, and we have even less shells! But then there are days we do! Anyway, I believe one of the most common arks I see here is the incongruous ark, and very often it is that glowing white color of the broken one you found. It is the thinnest of all the arks I find, and it has a fancy skirt-like appearance to me. Textured and flared out to each side. Thanks for posting this video during the holidays! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas, and hope you have the best year ever in 2024!
I love the little details in those incongruous arks! Plus I don't get to see them on my coast all that often, so that makes them a little more special too. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and I wish you a very happy 2024!
This is one of the beaches near me!
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thank you! I hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas too! 🎄
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎆 🎄
Same to you beach friend! 🎄🏝️
You're absolutely right about shelling on the East Coast. Can be slim pickins, but when you DO find one, it's pretty nice. I got a couple of very nice shells near Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks for making us all experts now in looking for shark teeth! When I visit friends in Tampa, I always just drive around Jax. Next time, I think I'll plan a stop at Mickler's Landing. I've never found shark teeth.
I hope I get to go back to this beach. I think I could use more "practice" look for those teeth!
Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you too!
Hello I’ve been loving your channel for a couple of years now. My husband and I decided to buy a house in Florida in 2021. We will be retiring there in 26 and moving from ND. It was so excited today to find an old video you were in 2 yrs. ago on beachcomber magazines YT. It was first time I’ve ever seen your face or heard you talk about yourself and it was just wonderful. It would be great to have an update to that video. There were a lot of things you hadn’t done yet and shells you wanted to find, places you wanted to go . I’m wondering if you’ve gotten a chance to do any of that in the two years since.
Greetings future neighbor! Yes, that beachcombing magazine event was fun, but I will likely not do another. I don't actually like talking about myself - I prefer my videos be about the beach. I know some other fine folks from ND that love it here and visit as often as they can. How exciting you'll be here full-time before you know it!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Than you so much! I hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas too!
How fun great video!!😊
Thank you 🤗
Fun❤ Merry Christmas ❤
I hope you had a Merry Christmas too! 🎄
My favorite place to find shark teeth is Myrtle Beach, SC. Every time I go, I have to re-train my eyes to look for the shiny black teeth.
I'm glad I learned if I go to an unfamiliar beach - look for the expert and start asking them questions!
Coquina shells found fused after centuries!
What a coincidence! I posted a video from Mickler's Landing on my channel just last Tuesday - Crazy! Anyway, sorry you were there at high tide, it doesn't seem like you had much luck with your finds (compared to your normal hauls). Keep on combing, I learn A LOT from your channel and hope to someday check out those west Florida beaches - Paul
Thanks Paul! I'm glad I finally asked for help in finding those teeth or I don't think I would have found any. It's really interesting how different the beaches are and how differently you have to change techniques to find things. I hope you have a great time making vids for your channel!
Have fun will be listening for your video.
Merry Christmas
I hope you had a Merry Christmas too! 🎄
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄 SHARMON!!
I hope you had a Merry Christas too! 🎄
Thanks for being here with a wonderful video on Christmas Eve!!!❤
I have found shark teeth on Boca Grande. Go there and I bet you’ll find shark teeth!
I found some shark tooth pieces when I went there!
Thank you another thing for me to do.
Merry Christmas! 🌲🌴🐚🦈
Merry Christmas!!! 🎄
Thanks for another walk 🎉 on finding your shark teeth Merry Christmas
I hope you had a Merry Christmas too! 🎄
Gotta go to Caspersen beach, Shark tooth heaven🦈
Been there - that was fun too! I liked this beach as you didn't even need to get wet to get the teeth!
Merry Christmas sweet lady and happy new year
I hoe you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
That looked like a piece of a lions paw
I know the piece you mean. I still think cockle but it was pretty 😃
We call it “shell grit” …it’s very common in patches. My step daughters find shark teeth all the time…they just have the eyes for it. They recently did a tour at fernidina and managed to get a gorgeous 4” meg tooth of lots of smaller ones.
GASP! I would faint if I ever found a meg tooth. Shoot, I'm happy when I find the baby shark teeth! It was really relaxing and I would absolutely go back. It also reminded me how spoiled I am to live where I do. Our shells are crazy great! I hope you had good Christmas Bree!
Merry Christmas
Not only are they black, but brown as well.
You should try fort clinch lots of shells and lots of teeth. I'm commenting mid video but the black pieces I think are parts of an oyster shell at least in my experience that's what I've come to find. The one thing was a piece of a cohog that has all the drill holes in it. Once you get used to spotting teeth it will get easier to tell the difference between a piece of shell and a portion of tooth. And you are doing nothing wrong it just takes awhile to get an eye for them I think they look almost like metal co.pared to the iridescence of a shell
Thanks for leaving a comment!! I was curious about that quahog!
Juno beach is better for shark teeth and much closer than micklers. Juno has shells, shark teeth and seaglass 😊
I neglected to look for teeth when I went to Juno but I won’t forget next time!
We usually went hunting for shark's teeth at night. Seeing the shine with a flashlight makes it easier to spot them.
Oh that's a good idea! I'll remember that should I ever go hunting at night.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Same to you beach friend! 🎄🏝️
Yeah it's a cannonball jelly & there completely harmless we get them in Tybee island all the time, but yeah looking for sharks teeth is very hard. Like you said when you look for shells to get your eyes & mind to stop it's very hard.
As long as you don't find them in your body after a bite it would be fun! 😂
Merry Christmas to you and thanks for the video. Just popping to say the whelk in the 4th minute is probably a knobbed whelk. When young, they look very close to a lightning whelk.
Thank you for the shell ID help - someone else said it might be a knobbed whelk too.
lots of shark's teeth on nokomis beach
Not a big haul but it twas a fun video! Also Merry Christmas in 3 hours and 15 minutes for your time zone!! I hope it's a good one no matter what your doing
I hope you had a very Merry Christmas too! 🎄
Just a bit further north you'll find more shark teeth. Fernandina Beach is known to all us Atlantic Ocean side Beach goers as the shark tooth haven. Lol!
Do you look for the teeth the same way? In the bits of broken shells?
@@SWFBeachLife yes
@@nancybraswell104 Thank you!
@@SWFBeachLife you are most welcome.
Just awesome and besutiful❤
Grew up right there
I went to Anna Maria several years ago and my sister wanted me to find her some shark teeth. I wound up on Caspersen beach by myself and after the waves beating the crap out of me for an hour or two I managed to find a nice little haul of many different small shark teeth. After showing them to my friends when I got back to Anna Maria, my friend’s young daughter found one right on our beach. I thought it was cool she was so observant. It was fun but my sister really wants to go down and look for megaladon teeth. 😄
I think I'd like to try the Carolinas for teeth and different shells. Just to see different specimens is pretty exciting.
My beach for shark's teeth, I go further North to Atlantic Beach when I want to shell hunt. I cannot do both, I have to look only for teeth or I miss them. Thanks Sharmon Merry Christmas!!
I'm the same way! I feel like I have to look for either teeth or wentletraps or shells. I can't look for 2 at the same time.
Lovely shells! What do you do with them?🙋🏼♀️🌷🇱🇺
I get this question a lot so I made a video about it 😃
ua-cam.com/video/GZQVCKCJQZk/v-deo.html
I live in Charleston SC and there are a few beaches here that ppl find shark teeth all the time but not me!! I can be standing right next to someone finding teeth and I can't find a single 1!!
One of my friends from NC was visiting me here in FL and she asked if we can find shark teeth here. I told her no, but not more than 15 minutes later she finds a huge one! I have never, ever found one where I live, but she found one where there are none to be found!!
4:40; Aussie shell... 😜
