Wow, Megalodon my hat's off to you!  How deep? and how many average do you pick up per dive?  Around here they are at 100 ft and I average 3 teeth per 20 min of bottom time.

these teeth from New-Caledonia are not found by diving because they are too deep. I actually dredge them from deep water at depths going from -400m down to -500m. Good quality ones are very rare and even if I can keep about 100 teeth a day, only about a third are really collectors grade and worth $$$. Large ones ( 5inch up ) and good quality ones are super rare and I usually keep them all for my own collection.

I can trade some of these best ones but only against nice and large teeth to improve my own collection.

Cool finds have a few myself ,only been out once found 8 last summer.(biggest just shy of 7 inches ) Have a trip planed and paid for late May to go out from Carolina beach headed to the megleg 40 miles out 100 feet to the sand 100 lbs nitrox tanks can stay down quite a while .On the boat we had 9 divers 7 of us found teeth my buddy picked up 43 of them in 3 dives me only 8 .And 2 divers got shut out my technique is to wave sand my hand his was looking for them from 3 feet above. The reason I did it my way is I need prescription mask I have bifocal inserts but still limit's my seeing ability. (sucks getting old LOL) will post pics soon when i figure out how or have more post dont see a tab for it yet

Yep, the Hawksbill is the ship I use when I dive outta of Carolina Beach.  They're known for the good quality teeth that come out of that area.  I've dove out of TopSail a bunch last year and the teeth were a little more rough on the North reef.
