If You Want to Try This With Kids, Here’s the Simple Playbook
If your goal is “fun family adventure” (not hardcore collecting), keep it simple and safe:
- Look where shells gather — shell beds concentrate small fossils like shark teeth.
- Scan the “odd ones out” — shiny black triangles, symmetrical patterns, ridges, unusual textures.
- Bring a small bag — and label what you find by date/location when you get home.
- Don’t pry at cliffs — erosion zones can collapse. Stick to loose material and shoreline finds.
- If it feels important, get it verified — local museums and fossil clubs are usually happy to help.
The goal isn’t to “get rich” or “find the biggest one.” The goal is to teach kids that the world is full of hidden history — and that their curiosity actually matters.
