Yup, Chris- there are teeth in MD. But like the others said, don't get into it for the money. Get into it because you want to involve yourself in a healthy, interesting, historic, scientific and TIME CONSUMING activity. If you study the history of the Earth- and all the changes this area has gone through over millions and millions (and more millions) of years, you will see that this area was not always shaped as it is now. The watery parts and the solid land parts have all changed over time. The first thing you have to do is study.
I'm guessing from your post (at it is just a guess) that you're young and enthusiastic. BUT, it would also seem that you haven't tried to look through this very forum to understand what you're getting into. You're already planning on what you're going to do with all those teeth you're going to find...
I don't want to discourage you. Not at all. But I can offer a little advice- 'words to the wise', as they say. Nothing comes easy. Nothing worth having is handed to you, requiring no effort on your part. If you have a computer, you can research what you need to know. Granted, many, many websites are business-based-- a lot of folks trying to sell what they've found (or created) to collectors. But if you're going to really get into the fossil hobby, you can't approach it from that angle. You need to go on line and dig deep into technical, academic articles. You need to look at geography, tectonics, anthropology, - as basic as knowing what varieties of sharks once lived in these waters- and what their teeth actually look like.
But don't put the horse before the cart.
Good luck in your new interest- and I hope you take it up, and become successful finding shark teeth! Yakker
