'I just looked around and suddenly saw something buried in the sand. I discovered it and it kept coming out of the sand, and it was this big tooth, then I picked it up, brought it to my mother , "she said.

It is known that Fauth and her family have always been looking for shark teeth, especially megalodon species when the whole family goes to sea. Fauth's father tried to search for a shark tooth for more than 20 years and his three daughters had the same passion.

'I was surprised when my daughter found a megalodon shark tooth. I have been searching for it for 25 years without finding anything. I was really shocked and glad that my daughter found a treasure , 'said Fauth's father.

'I just think this is a dream because I can't believe you found it, when you pick it up, it's really a megalodon shark tooth. They are really rare and very beautiful , 'Fauth said.
