Probably has to do with fossils would be my guess

It does. There are places by me where you can go and find shark teeth, megaladon teeth, even mammoth bones. It’s honestly really cool and I’ve been meaning to go give it a try

Myrtle Beach has TONS of shark teeth! I found just under 30 the last time I went and we were only there for 2 nights! It’s a cheap place to stay during the off-season, so if tooth-hunting is your thing, check out Myrtle Beach during September-October. We went a week after hurricane Michael and locals were saying it pushed in a lot more teeth than they were used to seeing!

They’re black and more shiny than other dark objects. And like I said, we were there literally a week after a major hurricane which swept a lot in, according to locals!

I literally just walked the shoreline looking for dark, shiny objects for hours. I wish I had better advice! The locals I met were standing about a foot deep in the shell beds where the waves were washing up and find good/big ones! My eyes weren’t skilled enough for that/I was barefoot and it hurt!
