I Drove Over 800 Miles to Fossil Hunt For Megalodon Shark Teeth at the World Famous Calvert Cliffs!

This video should be removed. The area where the filming took place is a prohibited area. The DNR sign reads ‘CLIFFS SAFETY NOTICE:Due to the danger of landslides caused by active cliff erosion, and the serious injuries they cause, CLIMBING UPON AND WALKING BENEATH THE CLIFFS IS PROHIBITED. This area is permanently closed.it is illegal to collect fossils beneath the cliffs.

[@katherinehoffman9865]

When I was a kid, an aunt lived very close to your spot now. This was back in the very early 60's. We would find so many shark teeth on the beach. The beach was backed by sandy clay cliffs, and we would dig in them and find fossiled shells that were huge. That was one of my best memories as a kid. I wanted to grow up to be a paleontologist.

Thats arrowhead you found is awesome! Thanks for taking us along! 💕

About time you made a video about calvert cliffs. I live across the street from where you are hunting at and have been walking the cliffs for years. The big teeth are hard to find. But I assure you that people find them. A truly awesome place.

Woooo hooo I used to live out there. I found all kinds of whale bones, croc/shark/ray teeth, rocks, but never the illusive Megalodon. Glad you mentioned the fossils are in the walls of the cliffs and end up in the Bay through erosion.

[@firechicken455adventures]

Crazy spot to look for fossils. Glad you guys made it out safe.

[@MichaelaC531]

You were so in awe Kyle, it's such an amazing site to see. I grew up with the same clay formations and balls too (In Australia). I found many a fossil over time. Those shark teeth were something else, so pristine like they fell out yesterday.

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

Dude,! WOW! WHAT A FIND! Nice arrowhead! . 🥰

[@largent45]

Wow Kyle, that was insane! And the artifacts right at the end!?! What a day! What a two days! Insanity! Wow! And your hemi's are gorgeous! Tha snaggletooth is my favorite type of shark tooth! I like them even. Even better than the meg! I know, blasphemy! But it's true! And they are always the coolest tooth found! Lol! The only tooth that beats it in my opinion is maybe a cow shark tooth. But that's it! And only because cow shark teeth are so rare to find! Super cool two days; those shells were amazing! I will check out David's channel and subscribe! Thank you David for taking Kyle and his camera out to the fossil spots! Awesomeness! Thanks Kyle and David❣️

[@obi1kNobi47]

I went to this exact beach with my family in June of 2023. The weather that day was calm and crystal clear, there were barely any waves breaking on the shoreline. Crazy how different it looks with choppy weather. We found some colossal scallop and barnacle fossils and a bunch of shark teeth, ray plates, bone fragments, and petrified wood. That and we befriended some locals who got us into a private beach with even more shark teeth than this beach or the state park. 11/10 trip, would highly recommend to any fossil hunters within driving distance of Maryland

[@marcie553]

The actual cliffs are permanently closed now, I was trying to go recently. Md resident here.

[@dianadelaplaya8405]

Well that was fun! Not knowing Maryland, what surprised me most was bamboo grows there! That was a fun trip. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@tessat338]

The bamboo was introduced as a landscaping plant and can be invasive. However, whenever we have pandas at the Smithsonian National Zoo, the local area provides a sufficient supply of bamboo to them. For some landowners, feeding the pandas on a regular basis is a great way to keep their bamboo from taking over!

[@brycejohnson9045]

Cool to see you hunting in my home state of Maryland. You should try coming up in fall/winter, on an early morning tide I get dozens of teeth, a lot of times a small meg too!

[@WILDKYLE]

That's the plan for next time is to come up in the winter!

So awesome to finally see you up in my neck of the woods hunting for teeth in the Calvert formation. I always have a hard time finding teeth at the Cliffs. There are other places in the area that are better for finding teeth. Can't wait to see future Maryland videos!

[@jonathanholden6556]

Hey I live in Maryland and frequent Calvert Cliffs. I’ve never been to that Virginia location, is it possible you could tell me where that was located? Id love to go

[@wmarian5027]

Kyle! So close! Glad you came and hunted well in Maryland. Love that beach, fossil crab claws, amazing ecphora shells (maryland state fossil), sand dollars, moon snails, shark teeth...but def only a few shark teeth each time. hope hoppe showed you some other good Maryland spots! Travel home safely

[@martinomatt1]

Awesome

[@ImGettingOld911]

Great video!! Really nice finds too! When you go to Calvert and some other areas around there, you will have better luck finding shark teeth if you take some sifting screens with you. I live 3 hrs north of there in PA. A bunch of us go down there a couple times a year. You will also have more luck a day after a storm.

[@WILDKYLE]

Definitely gonna try some sifting next time! And I'm gonna go in the winter with better tides!

[@CorpseBride64]

This was the best, what a gorgeous spot! I could sit there and dig through that sand all day!! 💚💙💜

[@T45_RC]

Hey i was just at this spot at Calvert on Memorial day weekend lol I was sifting in the water and found a little over a dozen teeth, nothing huge tho.. still on the hunt for my first Meg!

[@fulldisclosurefishing7606]

Great video guys!!! I live a little North of there, always a joy to visit the cliffs. If you get a chance, visit Browns beach a little North, excellent spot for teeth.

[@RichBinell]

Crazy. Cool. Wow. Insane.

[@watermelonsunglop]

How are you able to walk the cliffs? My friend and I went yesterday and the State Park only allows hunting in that one little beach by the marshes :/. We also did Flag Ponds which was a bit limited. Which trail is that?

[@WILDKYLE]

This was at Matoaka Beach Cabins. It's a privately owned access which means you are allowed to walk the cliffs. Of course you still need to be mindful of your surroundings and absolutely never dig into the cliffside. It's only a $10 fee for access for the day at Matoaka. Not a ton of shark teeth, but there are some, and tons of cool fossil shells!

[@watermelonsunglop]

[@MDfishingandcrabbing]

Hey, Is that area accessible?

[@laurieowen8696]

Great adventure ❤

[@glazedham682]

Wild to see something in my feed about where I grew up. I used to walk up and down these shores all the time as a kid back in the 90s. You can get to some secluded beach spots that way. I remember you used to be able to walk freely in places but then some little kids died in a collapse and a bunch of spots got closed off. Some spots are 30-40 feet high of sheer clay wall, scary to walk against knowing all that can happen. I stick to kayaking nowadays. Good to see y'all out there!

[@RC_Ty1307]

Kyle if you would like to come to Rincon Ga we could take you to shark tooth island where we find vertebrae’s and shark teeth and more we could take you on the boat to it if you want.

[@tigereye508]

Magnificent spot. Happy hunting, you two😂

[@wenditaylor9708]

That was a fun video! I have actually seen some of hoppehuntings vids. I will sub now. I'm wondering if this small marks on that bone were from scavengers after the critter was already dead. It seems like too many little marks for whatever could have actually killed it right? But maybe some smaller scavenger type animals like smaller baby sharks or hag fish type animals would have cleaned the bones? Unless since you're finding native American artifacts as well, it was people butchering something with terrible tools or scraping the bones with their teeth?

[@kephasanctafamilia]

hey wildkyle i live in richmond va i want to go to calvert but dont think i can convince my parents to go what was the name of the beach in va?

[@jasperdenotter2066]

I see you dropped in at Matoaka Beach Cabins. I’ve been there several times. Stayed in the cabins once. Never really found any big teeth. Tried the Va side once. It’s 6 hour drive for me so I’ll stick to SC Meg tooth hunting. It’s only and hour longer for me. I do want to do another Florida trip and dive again. Good luck in your next hunt. Maybe I’ll see you out somewhere again.

[@nelsonx5326]

Cool. There's a place on the Potomac river in Virginia where we look for shark teeth fossils. My little niece found a fossilized 3" tooth, very triangular like a great white, and being that big it must be a meg. I heard 10' of shark for every inch of tooth.
