The sun was going down too quickly! We wanted to shell some more after seeing that CONE! Hmmmmm&#8230; but low tide would be in the morning. Ha! Yes, you guessed it. Clark and I went back at low tide and found a treasure trove of shells. Weeeee! But I&#8217;m so sorry! I&#8217;ll have to show you those tomorrow since there is so much to do to get ready for Thanksgiving holiday. FYI- If you are in the area and not having much luck finding shells, it&#8217;s only a 40 minute drive from Sanibel (if you don&#8217;t get caught up in the traffic on Ft Myers Beach). There&#8217;s a gazillion FIGHTING CONCHS!
