Where to hunt for fossils in Florida. Here we're looking for shark teeth fossils and especially Megalodon shark teeth but we'll be happy to find anything prehistoric. This adventure is in the Peace river near Arcadia in South central / South West Florida. We went with a guide called Fossil Recovery Exploration and they did an amazing job at helping us find fossils including, shark teeth, mammoth teeth, turtle shell, ice age horse teeth, crocodile, dinosaur and we were even lucky enough to find some Megalodon. This is the best place to find shark teeth fossils as well as megalodon teeth. A must do bucket list adventure that's family friendly and a ton of fun.

Cool tools man. Going to take my kiddos out for an adventure like that once we make it to Florida to visit their Auntie.

[@RealAdventureTheory]

I can’t recommend this adventure enough. It was just soooo cool.

[@exploringwithnug]

out of all the stuff I do, I love fossil hunting the most. I would do it everyday if I could. Cool video, Keep it up!

[@RealAdventureTheory]

Fossils are incredible. Rockhounding for pretty stones is fun, but finding 10 million year old teeth and claws is on another level. 🤠

[@KittyGirlTravelProductions]

cool. i am in Florida and will check it out

[@kevmodee1866]

Wow! That did look like a fun adventure out with the family! However, did you have to worry about gators at all?

[@RealAdventureTheory]

Ha! We were wondering the same thing but our guide assured us that the few gators in the area were well known where they hung around. And this section of river is so heavily trafficked the gators don't like to hang around much. But we did keep our eyes out constantly because you never know. And my daughter is snack size so yeah, I was pretty careful and even flew the drone up and down stream quite a ways just to see.

@@RealAdventureTheory haha, I was thinking the same regarding that baby girl. Omg, my nerves. 😂 Well, I'm so thankful it went unvisited, and you all enjoyed yourself. It would be awesome to find a huge Meg tooth!

[@RealAdventureTheory]

@@kevmodee1866 We found a broken big one 😥 but it didn't look like much on the camera compared to the intact ones we found so I didn't add it in the video. But we were really happy and satisfied with what we came home with. Will definitely return and try again!

I'm from Sarasota and I've been out to the Peace River for canoe trips. We went to a place to get picked up and driven upstream to be dropped off. Then we came back down the river. It's easy to find fossils there, even laying on the beaches. You can find fossils in clear springwater rivers in FL too. Rainbow Springs and others can be snorkeled and you can see the bottom easily. You can also find Native American artifacts all over FL. I miss living there.

[@RealAdventureTheory]

Rainbow springs sounds like something I need to explore 🤠

[@comfortablynumb9342]

@@RealAdventureTheory check out Jenny Springs or something like that too. It's another big clear spring fed river you can snorkel or tube or kayak that's public. And I went to one near Orlando that is in a park. I don't remember the name, it's been 40 years. But it's fed by a spring from a cave and you can swim down to a big wide spot. I bet it has fossils in the river. They're all cold, the water comes out in the 70's from the ground. They all have exposed rocks and sand with gin clear water. I never hunted fossils in them but it's rivers cutting through FL, there should be fossils.

Thanks so much for this awesome video of your adventure and glad you had fun! We pulled a 4 incher right there today...they're in there for sure!

[@RealAdventureTheory]

Already planning another trip. You guys are great 👍

[@sarahmanning525]

Did you get to keep what you found and is this area a national park? How do you preserve those specimens so that they don't degrade in air and sun. What happens if they are polished and are they fragile? Are you living in Florida now?

[@RealAdventureTheory]

We did get to keep what we found, got a 5$ permit and everything. Not a national park. Still working on how to treat them. Since they basically rock they shouldn’t degrade too bad but with certain kinds of sealers it makes them shine for display better. Mineral oil is one but doesn’t last as long as others. And naw, I’m still in Utah for now. Just a quick birthday trip

[@sarahmanning525]

@@RealAdventureTheory Happy Birthday Ben. Looks like it was a fun activity for just about any age.

[@charlesbuthala6702]

there are things in Fl rivers with their teeth still in their mouths and swimming around.

[@RealAdventureTheory]

This is true 🤔
