Our guests from Minnesota went home happy and more knowledgeable about shark teeth and how to find them after our appointment with Kaytelynne, our experienced guide in such matters!
The weather wasn't cooperating leading up to the day of our reservations, but she did a great job of communicating!
She does the advance work to spot the best areas on the island to increase the bounty of your adventure. She noted to me that since the tides and ocean are constantly moving and somewhat unpredictable, she watches for where the debris is deposited and also notes where other beach-hunters aren't, all of which to add to your odds of a great time!
Her scouting efforts went to great effect for our group of seven. We joined others to form a shark tooth foraging party and were led by our wise, cordial and friendly guide. Kaytelynne was like and old friend, who knew bunches of things about sharks the rest of the group of 19 of us from all over. She can tell you the size of the donor, type of species, and even length of the shark each comes from. Also found are other ocean offerings like fossils. She can tell you about the history of them all.
You'll receive a helpful little pouch for your finds. If you aren't successful seeking where she leads the group, simply say so, and Katelynne will use her wooden pointer to circle an area for your closer examination, saying there are teeth for you to spot and take. Her purpose is to train your eyes to spot what the ocean has given you to claim!
Most remarkably, consider this not just a one time outing, but and educational excursion that will ensure that you never look at the sand in the same old way, ever again!! read more
