Look for rare colors of sea glass and shark teeth on isolated coastal beaches.

For glass:
Dark green, clear, brown: extremely common
Teal, lime green: uncommon
Blue, red, purple: rare
Yellow, pink, patterned ceramic: extremely rare

I hear Florida is nice.

Go to your local library and learn about the geomorphology of your area. I know you can do that at home on the internet but at the library you'll be less distracted by memes and porn.

As a kid I once went down to a stream on a field trip and found 10 or so shark teeth by shoveling pebbles into a book with a screen bottom. now I live in NJ but I was far from the ocean and these were not new teeth. Shark tooth fossils are extremely common and can be found just about anywhere, a quick google search brought up a forum thread on shark teeth in Minnesota so give it a go

there's great rocks up at Devil's Lake State park. also, the midcontinent rift extended into what is now wisconsin, so you can find some cool uplifted igneous basalts and rhyolites etc. I used to live in Minnesota and loved going to the shore of Superior for this reason.

unfortunately a lot of the rocks in WI are covered up by glacial crap, so it's not a terrific place for rock enthusiasts

I don't mean to understate Wisconsin rocks, though. There's a lot of really cool mineral deposits throughout the state. You can find some neat agates along the Superior shore. It sounds like that might be a bit out of the way for you, though, so I'd recommend looking up your local geomorphology and geology.
