Find from the last few weeks. First pic is combined from a few trips the others are from yesterday. When the usual shells I look for arenā€™t there I find a new appreciation for the more common ones. The cockles are funā€¦not sure if there is a difference between the yellow ones and the purple ones but they are pretty! And the shiny purple muscles will make pretty as earrings. šŸ’œšŸ’›

I shell off West gulf Dr, in that area a lot of the houses are close to the beach. That area got hit hard by hurricane Ian, there was storm surge flooding everywhere on the island but they got hit first and hard! I have found numerous pieces of tiles from those houses that have been tumbling around in the sea. I keep them all, I think they are special ā˜ŗļø

This is such a fun way to shellā€¦chasing moving targets in the rolling waves!

Iā€™m no expert at shellingā€¦a lot of the time I just go when I can and keep an open mind and open heart to what I receive. However if you pay attention you notice the weather trends beyond just low and high tide can affect your shelling.
At 10:04 it was not low tide but there was no wind and calm water so I could easily see the shells in the surfā€¦ at almost exactly 11:45 the wind picked up the waves started rolling and the visibility was terrible within minutes. So really I got lucky by getting there early while the water was still calm.
This is just a reminder about how quickly conditions can change and affect shelling even in the same location.
