Doing my best to shape

| Huh. That's good info. I do know some sharks digest their old teeth for the calcium. Thinking outside the box, one could find shark teeth at a souvenir place and possibly salt the beach while their daughter is searching the same general area...you just need to escape alone for a bit to source them.

Savor the limelight
| Caspersen Beach which is south of Venice on the Gulf Coast or the Peace River where it goes through Bone Valley. It's easy to find small teeth at Caspersen Beach you just need a Florida snow shovel. I've never not found at least a dozen teeth there. You'll find sting ray teeth and barbs as well. For the Peace River, I'd pay for a guided fossil tour. It's more work than Caspersen Beach, but you can find bigger teeth as well as mammal fossils. |

| In a shark's mouth.  I have also found them at beaches all over the Florida coast, both Atlantic and Gulf sides, as well as the Keys. Any of the touristy shops at the beaches will have loads of them.

Short of buying teeth and placing them to be found the above are the only places I would tell you that you could be guaranteed to find teeth.

It's the law.
| I found many on the beach when visiting my grandparents in Naples, back in the 70s. Great memories beach-combing with my mom and grandma (both gone now). But buying a few at a souvenir shop makes a lot of sense. If the kids are young, you can put them in the sand, and they can "find them". They are not expensive. |

Oh stewardess,
I speak jive.
| Even in the 70s and 80s I always found more in S.C. than Florida. |

| This won't help, but we found dozens in Destin and Navarre. We didn't see any in Daytona. |

| Peace river has lots of them but you have to sift for them. |

Real men don't find sharks teeth. Real men cut their leg, wade out into the ocean with a pair of dental extraction pliers, put a shark in a headlock with one arm, and use the other arm to yank out teeth until the wife and kids are content
