Shark tooth hunting in Venice Florida + bonus snorkeling. What to expect visiting Caspersen Beach.

hello Beach friends today we're going hunting but it's not for shells or critters we're gonna do something a little different today we're gonna go look for shark's teeth I'm gonna show you the tools we used and exactly where we were when we went and found all our treasures on this particular day welcome to another swf beach life and video if you like the beach and things beach related I recommend you subscribe because I drop a new video every week someone recommended to me casts person beach that was the place to go to find shark's teeth in Venice so that's what we did there is lots of free parking however I do recommend to get there early because it does fill up a little bit later in the day this particular area does have facilities it has a restroom it has outdoor showers has little water fountain and they weren't messing around when they built these restrooms this is elevated concrete and clearly hurricane proof the area is rustic you're not gonna find hotels you're not gonna find condos it's just you in the beach which is quite lovely there is a boardwalk that kind of helps you traverse from the parking lot over to the beach and I will show you that a little bit more at the end of the video and I love this the sign telling you to enjoy the beach so this is what it looks like it's kind of this little thin strip I will show you an overhead view at the end of the video the tools we use were this sand flea scooper we made this homemade sifting grate that is made from quarter-inch wire pool noodles zip ties my husband put that together and I'm going to show you how much easier it is with that and you're also gonna want a little container to hold your treasures as you're in the water looking for these teeth because the teeth can be quite small so basically the process is you're going to take that stand fleece Cooper and then you're going to dump your goodies on to that grate and then you're gonna want to sift and sift and we did a lot more scooping and sifting than did actually finding so this video is gonna be a little different normally I walk and as I'm finding things and picking them up I'm identifying what we have and what we found but it wasn't really possible this time because watching us to shift and dump for hours on end isn't all that much fun so gonna cut this down and just give you the good stuff now we did find shark's teeth it was very exciting this is the first tooth we found those and probably one of the bigger ones we found as well we found all different species I don't know what they are I am definitely not an expert we were really just going there to have some fun and to see what we could find I would absolutely recommend that you use some sort of sifter if you're on vacation and you're down here maybe swing by Walmart or a dollar store just pick up a colander because it's really hard that they're very tiny and you're really gonna want to spread out your scoop so you can kind of pick through there and find the teeth again the ones that we were finding were kind of small so it would have been very difficult if we didn't have that homemade sifter that my husband made so we did manage to get some shells along with some of the teeth and again at the end of the video I'm going to kind of show you all that good stuff so we would dump find something flip flip that great over and just do it all over again now here's another view this is I'm now up on the boardwalk and if you see that dark area out in the water those are a bunch of rocks kind of like a jetty and someone mentions that there were fish out there so I brought my snorkel mask and my underwater camera so I figured I would go over and check that out it was little murky I you know I was disappointed it looked beautiful from above but once you kind of got over there toward those rocks it was a lot murkier so I hope you can kind of see it's like okay I'll do some more quality snorkeling at some point but for now we're just going to take a look at this fine jetty over at casts person there was a sheep's head fish flying around there well not flying swimming you'll see some other bait fish and it just I don't know it's kind of cool I was hoping I'd see I don't know octopus or a starfish but that's right there's still sea life so I was still kind of exciting to be down there and guys there were tons of snook tons and tons of snook if I I am myself I'm not a fisherman but I can imagine if you were a fisherman seeing that what made you a little crazy because there was no way to actually get them you could try to fish but they were all really staying close to those rocks so the beach does fill up you know I want to say it was probably about I don't know 40% of the people that were there or actually they're looking for shark's teeth though that is one of the things that this Beach is known for so here's where we were this is the parking lot and you kind of Traverse across the road over to the boardwalk and then you have your access onto the beach now when we zoom out a little bit you'll be able to see that there is a long strip so it is plenty of room but you might need to do a little bit of walking I'm hoping to go back at some point and explore and see what else this area has to offer this is all our goodies we have a whole bunch of little stuff let's let's take a better look let me organize it a little bit that's better so we did I did find some scallops and calico clam and this guy that looks like a giant barnacle to me I'm not really sure what it was but I thought that was kind of neat so we just kind of found some nice rocks a little baby moon snail and then this one that is a land snail I don't know what that is I found that in the parking lot so I got to go shelling in the parking lot at that time we have some olives some pieces a little baby limpet those are the Tiny's over there and then here we have a bunch of cereth's and otters we'll talk more about that in just a second and that's the shark's teeth those are all the different teeth that we found and then stuff that tricked us and maybe it's a tooth but I really think those are some kittens paws and then my husband couldn't wait he made his own shark tooth necklace and it's kind of cool because you made it as something that you actually found so I think that's kind of neat let's take another look at these guys there's I guess a couple different I am NOT an expert but obviously there's a bunch of different types of teeth we have here on the left here this is a saris on the right isn't augur someone had asked me to show you the difference where the cereth is a little more bumpy it's got some variated colors going on the auger is a little bit more smooth usually it's only one color they are both cone-shaped but once you've seen them enough times you definitely can identify them so this is again what they look like side by side cereth on the left over on the right and then i'm just gonna show you another example again here's a cereth on the left auger on the right and hopefully next time you encounter these you'll be able to tell the difference so thanks as always i appreciate you guys so much i hope you enjoyed my little video we certainly had a good time hunting if you have any questions by all means ask me and i don't know leave me a comment let me know what you thought
