living in Humboldt, i am aware we have a lot of sharks in the area.  i was just wondering if anyone knows how and when to find them... trying to become somewhat of a beachcomber... i think it would be fun to be able to find some teeth, just haven't had any luck.  anyone know if you can even find them in the surf area?

Only time I ever found sharks teeth was in a hillside up in the Santa Ynez valley. All the boy scouts knew where it was. Not sure if it was a midden heap or fossil bed or what, but I went to the "spot" one day with some other ne'er-do-well, scruffian friends and we each dug up 5-6 teeth.

Oddly enough I have talked to a few people who said they had similar "tooth sites" around their towns when they grew up too.
So a little local geology-paleontology knowledge would probably help a lot.

The only teeth I find beachcombing are cow's teeth.

The only sharks teeth I've found were embedded in a sealion carcass on a beach near Santa Cruz. Still got em somewhere...
