Sea Biscuits ~ Finding a Ton of Prehistoric Fossils on the Beach
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Due to ocean dredging around Oak Island, NC & Holden Beach, NC, it has caused some prehistoric artifacts to be washed up on the local beaches. The artifacts I'm referring to are called Sea Biscuits. Sea Biscuits are similar to sand dollars. Around here, they are considered a beach-combing treasure. These sea biscuits are around 1.5" to 2.0" thick and hard like rocks. They have a cool star looking design on top. Some have estimated that sea biscuits could be 30 million years old. My wife has only found 1 sea biscuit her entire life.
Go to my "About" page to send me an email and I will disclose the exact location if you want to go find some of these yourself.

Only you, Steve, could make shell hunting cool for all men from this point forward! I will never feel the need to hide my face again...thank you!
I try to make everything as manly as possible. Younger men need to learn by example. Next week, "How to make jewelry from shells"
I had never heard of Sea Biscuits before. I am 58 years old. Being in a Facebook group, I have learned about different shells and such. Just this past Wednesday thru Friday , my Daughter and I were at the Secret Location. There were massive amounts of Sea Biscuits on the beach and in the surf. We arrived right at low tide. We had an awesome time. Luckily, we only live 4 hours from the area. We hope to make another trip sometime next month. Thanks for video and info.
I'm glad you found my "secret location" and had a good time.
I found a Mosasaur tooth on Holden this morning! Perfect condition. Pretty awesome find for me!
This week we found hundreds of them. My wife and aunt been here nearly all here life and have never found these many. I know this beach. Been here every year for the last 10. Thank you for the video.
That is awesome!
Super secret location and you hashtag a couple. LoL 👍😎 thanks for sharing your collaction! 👍
im at holden beach right now and me and my mom found a bunch of sea biscuits! that’s awesome
That's awesome!
Holden beach! We got so many sea bisques and the conch shells washing up on the beach. It was amazing!
We went today (HB) and found several! I stumbled across your video when looking for info on them. I haven't been to HB since I was a kid (probably about 30 years ago) and I've never found anything like it. My kids had so much fun looking for shells and sea biscuits today :)
Thats awesome.
We have found so many fossils on the beaches on the Chesapeake Bay. Sharks teeth, snail fossils. It's cool to find them.
Holy smokes! you don't have to be "tough" to beachcomb, it is COOL to be finding shells and fossils, I mean look at folks hunting for Megladon Shark teeth... SHELL-YEAH, shell on dude from an obsessed SoCal beachcomber couple Thanks for taking us on your adventure 😎
Very cool finds! The 2nd one you picked up & turned over after you cleaned them up a little has a great shot of their mouth (in the center) or their "teeth-like structures" used to crush open shells or protective coatings of their prey. Nice haul.
Thanks for that tidbit of info.
I stumbled across your video after searching for information on sea biscuits. I was at the “super secret” location today. There’s still a bunch of sea biscuits washing up on shore. I found some nice big shark teeth as well.
Awesome. Were you doing anything special like sifting sand to find the shark teeth?
@@myadventureoutdoors no, just looking through the piles of small shells washed up on the shore.
I went to Holden Beach this weekend and they were everywhere!!!! I picked up about a dozen. I also found lots of little auger shells.. I love those!
Awesome, Holden has been producing these for months now.
@@myadventureoutdoors I grew up going there and I never remember seeing them. My aunt has lived there for 50 years and said she'd never seen them either.
My wife had only found one her entire life and now she has a couple hundred here at the house she is using in her flower beds instead of mulch.
@@myadventureoutdoors hmmmm that's an interesting idea! I bet they look awesome! I have a large potted plant that my cat thinks is her extra litter box. I'm going to put some in that. I think that will discourage the little pooper, and it will look good.
Nice to meet you and your wife while fishing somewhere near the super secret location yesterday! No sea biscuits- only whiting.
Great meeting you 2 guys as well. Glad you commented. Not sure where the fish are but if you are looking for sea biscuits, I'm your guy. Hope to run into you again.
Wow what a haul! I’ve yet to come across one up my way. Super cool that you were able to score so many.
Some of those fossils are way older than 30 million years old. The sea Biscuits belong to the genus Hardouinia and erode out of the Peedee Formation which is over 70 million years old from the Late Cretaceous Period.
Cool, thanks for that info.
Wow! You had a really good day! Great finds.
Thanks Papa Ray.
We found some recently at this same beach and we were thrilled! They are an amazing little treasure from the ocean!
Glad you found some.
Were you just on HB Oct 29 - Nov 2, 2023? Cause I think I ran into you. If it was you, we just said hellos in passing, but you and my mom started talking about Seabiscuits. We found 52 in total.
No, it wasn't me. I didn't realize such another handsome man even existed in these parts. I'll be on the lookout for him. Glad you found a bunch.
You’re still a real man in my book. 🐚🌞🌊
Wow that’s soooo cute and sooo sweet. You should be Adventurie Stevie from now on...
In all seriousness, that is really cool. Amazing how many you found and they are in really great condition. I’ve found some fossilized materials over the years and its always super interesting and fun. If I was a little closer I’d probably run down there and look for some myself. Hope you doing well, my friend!
I've never seen one of those except in gift shops.
I find petrified clams along the ICW in Myrtle Beach where they dynamited through coquina rock to make the canal. I've also found them in limestone ledges along the beach. Most of those fossils in limestone and coquina are about 30 million years old.
These were worth going to search for and honestly didn't have to do much searching. Just look down as you walk.
I was just at Holden beach.
Hope you found one.
quite a nice collection, super jealous. Too bad it is quite some drive for us to get to that super secret location.
I really hate that I hide such super secret locations but you know how social media is these days. Maybe I'll find a secret kayaking location that would be worth the drive.
Neat!
I'm eating a land biscuit this morning as I watch a video about sea biscuits...🫓
I've eaten land biscuits before that tasted like fossils. Ordering a biscuit from Hardees at 10:30 am you are likely to wish you were eating a sea biscuit instead.
I found 3 this morning
"fair share"
I was just there today and found 4.
1:37 lol
Very cool. The Adventure Wife must have been thrilled. However there is one way to make it manly. Take a bite on one after boiling it in sea water, using a ferro rod to make fire. After all it is a biscuit............go back and do a dozen.....I'm waiting
You know, I might be able to spark these off each other to make a fire to cook the fish I catch on the beach. Now that would be some cool bushcraft, I mean beachcraft.
@@myadventureoutdoors I'd like to sea that
That's cool. I bet you could clean those up, then set you up a stand, and sell 'em to gullible, uh, I mean inquisitive tourists. :)
Ebay here I come.
I was there at the pier today and found loads of teeth and sea biscuits.
where on holden beach did you find all this loot! I parked at 200-600 and didn’t find much….share all the info, couldn’t find an email for you
Start at the pier and go on low tide. People have been collecting these from the beach now for months so I imagine most are gone by now. Good luck.
Thanks for the video Steve. I think I know which pier that is. Are those Porta potties for public use or just contractors?
Shhhhh, super secret. I will use any porta Jon. I didn’t pay attention but I think they were for public.
They are for the public.
Tried to email you to get the super secret location but there is no email address in the About section.
I just checked and it is there. www.youtube.com/@myadventureoutdoors/about
Can you make these white again? I picked up about 15 of them and have soaked them in bleach water, hydrogen peroxide, & whitening powder. Nothing has worked.
I do not know of a way to make them really white. Maybe pure clorox?
I used muriatic acid then rinsed in water . They came out beautifully
🤣
Almost forgot, my wife wants to know what happened to the deer
Never found out. Wildlife Officer got involved so I assume it was good for the deer.
im at holden beach right now and me and my mom found a bunch of sea biscuits! that’s awesome
