It took nearly a decade, but Molly Sampson found what she'd been searching for her whole life. It happened Christmas morning, when the 9-year-old girl was out searching for shark teeth with family in Calvert Beach, Maryland. It was there Molly waded into the cold waters of the Chesapeake Bay and pulled out the once-in-a-lifetime find: A 5-inch megalodon tooth. "She was over the moon excited," Molly's mother, Alicia Sampson, told USA TODAY Wednesday. "She's been shark tooth hunting since age 1 when she would crawl along the beach."
