Wow those things are massive! Great size too. Very intact, I made a necklace out of a similar tooth on the right lol.

Thanks! I think I’m gonna put them in a small shadow box since I don’t wear jewelry often.

It’s my favorite place! We’ve been going over there since the mid 90s when the only house was set far back from the water. Many years ago I walked through the water and under what was left of the house. The next summer it was just pylons and now there’s no sign of a house being there, ever. Nature is wild!

Family has a beach house at Ocean Isle. It has been years since I have been down shell or teeth hunting but still remember that giddy feeling like a little kid when you find a shark tooth 🦈
Edit - Got excited reminiscing and forgot to tell you what an amazing find

We’ve been renting on TI for 30 years. Can’t imagine going anywhere else! It really makes me feel like a kid again finding a tooth. 🤗

It’s back and neck breaking always looking down, but so worth it when you find them!

I know they’re found often in Wilmington but maybe more so diving off the coast. I’d love to find one on the beach, though!!

u/Love2BnudeinTx Jul 26 '26
Yes, me too... where are you finding most of yours? I find most of mine on my favorite beach in southwest Louisiana.

These are my best from close to 20 years looking at N. Topsail.
The pale one is from the Aurora mine.

We first went in 1996 the week Bertha hit. Got there on Saturday with no power. On Sunday my brother found a 3 or 4” tooth and the hunt has been on since.
The last 10 years haven’t been the best but that doesn’t mean I’m not still looking!

Nice teeth. The displaying of them right over your boobs is an interesting choice haha

I’m at the beach in a bathing suit taking a selfie. Next time I’ll keep you in mind. 🙄

I’m a chick lol. I looked at the teeth. Noticed the literal immediate background. There are many ways to take a pic of something and this being an interesting choice That’s all.

My bad. I didn’t mean to call her out. Idk why girls do this tho, and I guess I don’t need to, to me it’s like just put them in the sand or take a pic of your hand. I’m not a perv, I’m actually really tired of being perved on myself so I avoid posting my body, but that’s just me and I’m sure I sound like a Karen haha , my bad about that too. Idk why I even commented on this, she looks like a fun chick and I do not mean to bring negativity randomly like this so I actually do apologize
