My focus of late is spear points/arrowheads and fossilized shark's teeth. I have one tooth and a few points and I watch the tide chart so I can be at the river when the tide is dropping. The nearly full moon, along with high winds is creating a muddy and violent shore today. I was on the neighbor's dock, watching the water hit the bulkhead when, as the water receded, an unbroken shark's tooth laid on top of the sand. Another wave came and bounced it around and it was dragged back into the water. If I could have made it down the steps in time, I would have went after it, even though it was high tide. I am unreasonably drawn to them, and am frustrated that it got away. These photos are of the gems I have so far. More are on the way because I scour the beach every day.
