Check your the laws where you live to fossil hunt.

mostly everywhere they have fossil laws.
Here is florida, You may collect, Fossil shark teeth, fossil plants, fossil invertibrates, fossil shells without a permit
but you will need a permit to collect vertibrate fossils. This permit is like so cheap. It cost $5.00 for a year and you are good to go.
Of course if you find a T-rex one day, they will want you to turn it in to them, because it will help them more in there studies. :)
here is the site for the florida fossil permit

It would matter to me what they did with that permit money! I don't normally do many things that require an entry or permit or such such thing. Also if I found the T-Rex they would pay me a nice fee for finding it.
This sounds like it would be fun and the findings only would add to that fun.

Up the coast from us in Scarborough, Yorkshire they now have special days for fossil hunting as people were damaging the cliffs and sea defences hunting around as there are a lot.
We only seem to get devils toe-nails and anthrocite pieces and amonite occasionally on out beach, mostly we just have pebbles, but thanks for the warning.
