Captain Tony knows exactly where the good stuff washes up along Brunswick's coastline, and he'll get you there in comfort aboard his well-equipped vessel. The trip starts from 250 Ricefield Way, putting you right in the heart of some of the best fossil hunting territory on Georgia's coast. You'll cruise through scenic waterways toward productive beaches and shallow areas where centuries of tidal action have deposited fossilized shark teeth and other ancient treasures. The pace stays relaxed throughout – this isn't about covering massive distances but rather about getting to the right spots and taking your time to really search. Captain Tony provides all the gear you need, from collection bags to basic tools, plus he'll show you exactly what to look for and where these fossils typically collect. The intimate 2-person capacity means you get plenty of personal attention and can ask all the questions you want about the area's geology and marine history.
The key to successful shark tooth hunting lies in reading the beach and water conditions, something Captain Tony has down to a science after years working these waters. You'll learn to spot the telltale dark triangular shapes among shells and sand, focusing on areas where tidal currents naturally concentrate heavier objects. Low tide windows offer the best opportunities, when receding water exposes fresh deposits along the shoreline. Captain Tony will teach you the "shuffle and scan" technique – gently moving sand with your feet while keeping your eyes peeled for that distinctive black or dark gray coloration that sets shark teeth apart from regular shells. The provided collection gear includes mesh bags that let sand fall through while keeping your finds secure, plus basic sifting tools for working through promising patches of shell hash. Weather and tide timing play huge roles in success, which is why having a local captain who knows exactly when and where to go makes all the difference in what you'll take home.
The shark teeth you'll discover along Brunswick's coast come from species that have called these waters home for millions of years, with some fossils dating back to the Miocene epoch. Tiger shark teeth are among the most common finds – distinctive curved triangular shapes with serrated edges that make them easy to identify once you know what to look for. These prehistoric predators grew much larger than their modern descendants, so finding a big tiger shark tooth is always a highlight. Bull shark teeth show up regularly too, recognizable by their broad triangular shape and relatively straight profile compared to the curved tiger shark specimens. Sand tiger shark teeth are another customer favorite, with their narrow, pointed design and often well-preserved condition that shows off the natural enamel shine. Great white shark teeth occasionally turn up, though they're much rarer finds that really get collectors excited. The variety keeps every search interesting – you never know if the next dark speck in the sand will be a small modern-looking tooth or a massive prehistoric specimen from a shark that ruled these waters long before humans ever set foot on the coast.
Captain Tony's shark tooth fossil hunt offers something you won't find on traditional fishing charters – a chance to literally take home pieces of Georgia's ancient marine ecosystem while enjoying a relaxed day on the water. The 2-hour format works perfectly for families with younger kids or anyone wanting a taste of coastal exploration without committing to a full day. Since you're only taking 2 guests at a time, spots fill up quickly, especially during peak season when visiting families want that perfect hands-on activity.

Whether you find a handful of small teeth or land that one massive specimen that'll be the centerpiece of your collection, you're guaranteed to learn something new about Brunswick's underwater world while creating memories that'll last long after your vacation ends.
