Hi Adam! As a life-long (69 years) Walton resident, I spent most of my childhood exploring the Naze, and I'd often come home with pockets full of sharks teeth and fossil shells 😁. Of course, a huge amount of the Naze has been lost the sea in that time, and conditions are constantly changing - one day there'll be plenty of sand and gravel on the beach, then a few days later it's all washed away to leave just London Clay (hence why we have breakwaters/groynes to stop the sand shifting). But yes, as a kid, I would drop to my knees on the gravel beds, and scan them with my eyes! Even now, it only takes me a few seconds to spot a tooth! Those gravel beds are also a good place to find coins and rings!! 💰💍 My best find ever was a 4" long tooth, back in the 70's, which I donated to the local Natural History Museum! 😊 So good luck, and keep on hunting!
Thanks so much for the comment! It’s a very special, very unique place and I’m glad you have such fond memories of it. I hope to find another big tooth some day haha!
Thanks Colin, teeth of that size at the Naze you can be almost sure they’re from a sand tiger shark. Not the ones we have today but an extinct species! Probably should have said that in the video haha.
Hi, thanks for commenting. It’s so hard to say to be honest, it can be hit or miss some days. They’re always there it just depends how the tides have moved sand around. My advice would be to check the Facebook page called “Things found at Walton on the naze” to see what people are finding recently.

Hello Adam I’ve been on the beach today Walton ; not sure what I’m looking for but plenty of interesting things to be seen after the tide went out.
Hi Glenda! Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed your trip to the Naze 😁
I'm really hoping to make a visit to walton v soon 😁. Fingers crossed I'll find something interesting
Good luck, Let me know what you find!!
One shark tooth is still one more than I've ever found.
Get down to the Naze Dave and you’ll find some! February is apparently the month to be down there.
Have you any clue to what shark they came from. Great video.

Do you think I’d find something if I go this Sunday
