Shark's teeth from Middle Beach
Look at all of these SHARK’S TEETH! No, I didn’t find them on Sanibel. They were given to me as a gift from one of our blog friends, Karen. I can’t believe she gave me these….. I should be the one thanking her! She’s always so nice to write comments and lots of feedback to my posts. So now you can meet Karen and her nieces Casey and Carly too! Here they are….

On Algier’s Beach yesterday, I saw them with lots of shelling paraphernalia so I had to find out what they were finding. They were prepared with a shelling backhoe, buckets, several strainers, nets, bags, baggies and a picnic lunch for a day trip to Sanibel from Englewood. Casey found an amazing HORSE CONCH within only 10 minutes of shelling time.

While I was taking pictures of Casey’s horse conch and Carly’s handful of mini shells (she LOVES the minis!) ……

Karen left for a few minutes to go to her car and came back with a baggie full of the shark’s teeth and a shark’s teeth screening tool as a gift for me. OMG! So sweet!
Casey, me, Karen and Carly
Karen told me that she found all of those shark’s teeth on Middle Beach near Venice and Englewood (also called Blind Pass Park- not to be confused with Sanibel/Captiva Blind Pass) within an hour to an hour and a half. Wow! We’ve got to get up there for a day trip. I have put my new treasure in a beautiful little bowl ( Tiia, recognize it?) that is the perfect size and color to show them off. Thank you so much Karen! It was a pleasure meeting yall.
What beautiful girls! Im so excited to read your blog everyday from Dunedin and there are 2 of my daughters on it. Shelling definitely runs in the family.
They are beautiful….. and nice too! You “done good”. Again, congrats to Casey’s husband too.
I am single now and I saw some very handsome South Florida guys when I was shelling. They were mainly fishing, but i wouldn’t mind a few dates! The area was beautiful, the shells were plentiful and the attractive twentysomething guys were too!
Now that would be the best treasure to find on the beach……a husband!! LOL
How cool! Sharks’ teeth are on my ‘must find’ list of shelling fantasies!
How cool are all those sharks teeth. Growing up in NE Florida it was a treat to find them. We’d be excited if we found just 1,2 or 3. I’m up for an Englewood day trip. A favorite artist, Carol Swaze is located there.
Color me jealous! I want to be out there sooooo bad. I will get there as soon as I can. Keep shelling and keep posting! Pam, you’re keeping my Sanibel and Captiva dreams alive.
Thank you for the great picture of the sharks teeth! We love to split our shelling trips between Sanibel and Casey Key (just off the coast from Venice) so we can bring home both shells and sharks teeth. I first went there in 1955 and I still have the teeth we found when I was a wee tot!
Well now Pam, it’s always a treat to drop in for a visit, but today? Today you’ve got one of my bffs and two of her lovely nieces right here staring back at me! Karen is my favorite shelling buddy of all time. We’ll have to tell you about the time we stayed on Honeymoon Island too long one day and the ranger had to drive us back in the jeep. He was a sweetheart though and the brownies Karen gave him assured our being able to return again. Isn’t she the sweetest?
She told me about your “run-in” with the ranger. LOL Too cute! and Yes! She is so sweet …and her nieces too.
We had such an amazing day. I tell folks all the time – I live in paradise. It was awesome to bump into Pam. Her blog is my daily vitamin “sea” to tide me over till my next Sanibel visit. Look for me in August as sister is visiting from Tennessee.
Okay, I’m so jealous of the two you. Let’s see…it’s about a six and half hour ride from here to Sanibel. Puts me there about 11pm if I left right now. When did you say low tide is?
That is one really nice bunch of Shark’s Teeth!!! They look so neat!!! I have two Shark’s Teeth that I found at Venice Beach in 2004. I was ecstatic with those two. I cannot imagine what I would do if I found that many Shark’s Teeth!!!! :)
I just have to comment here because these girls are my employer’s daughters! Kelly and I look at your blog and discuss it almost every day at work – only for a little bit though ;) We just can’t wait to get over there for some serious shelling.
The sharks teeth look really neat! My wife and I love to look for sharks teeth when we go to the beach usually around low tide. We look in north florida and usually come up with a good many each time.
today we found 905 teeth
ats-a-Lotta sharks teeth! Where in the world did you find these..and how long did it take yall to find them??????
Hi Pam, Can you tell me about the screen Karen gave you? It looks like it has a PVC frame, but what kind of screening is used? Window? How is it attached to the PVC?
Thank you!
