  2. Somewhere on the Carolina coast (Garden City, SC?). I've met guys who spend entire weekends SCUBA diving in murky rivers feeling around for them. They're cool, just not that cool!

  3. South side of Martha's Vineyard we found them as kids, rarely as large, like half that size and smaller, still have a few nice ones, after a big storm washed up extra high tide you could find quite a lot of smaller sizes, like hundreds maybe an inch or larger.

  4. Deep sea fishing for Megalodon would be a hoot.

  5. The school sand box in coastal Caroline held many shark teeth of different types and sizes.

  6. I was stationed at the USCG Base at Charleston SC about 25 years ago. Up in the Cooper River we would dive in maybe 8 to 10 feet and find loads of shark teeth Sperm Whale teeth and occasionally MEG teeth! Some were as large as our hands! It was murky water and the current could get pretty strong. My kids got them in their homes now! I gave most away.....now their big money!
