We discovered Westmoreland state park on a homeschool field trip last year. It has a small beach on the Potomac river that was once an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. 
Apparently whales would go there to have their babies and sharks would follow to eat them. The beach is full of fossilized shark teeth and tons of other fossilized organic things (like shells, sting ray teeth and whale poop-which is actually really pretty and can be used to make jewelry). We only found a few very small teeth with our homeschool group but that was enough to temp Zac and we have since become addicted. On our last camping trip we found approximately 30 shark teeth. The boys also found three snakes and a couple of turtles. You really cant get better than that.
