As for how to find. I've dove most of the sites along the Venice area, and found Alhambra street to be the most productive.
To find them, head directly west from the two white drainage pipes. You will hit a sandbar around 100 feet out. You'll want to drop down 20 yards or so past the sandbar. The bottom will either be barren sand, or lots of little rubble. You are looking for the patches of rubble. You will find them in the 13'-15' depth, and if you keep heading west again at 18'-21'. When you hit a patch, you can work them north to south, usually there's a slight current that will help.
I typically just pick them up off of the surface, but you can also fan or dig, if there is a slight current and the vis is good (otherwise don't bother). I've never found any large teeth by digging, but others have. Yesterday, I picked up 408 teeth right off the top, including a meg and 1/2 meg.
You want to pay special attention to the west side of any bottom structure (rocks, mostly), also if you come across "moguls" or sets of small ridges, examine between them carefully, they're usually a jackpot.

Very cool, is there a "how-to" on where and how to find these published somewhere online? I think it's neat how you are finding these?
