\"shells<\/a><\/p>\n

We haven’t seen a huge shell mound form at the jetty rocks on the Captiva side of Blind Pass in months and months. So to see\u00a0folks like Sue from MA sittin’ and siftin’ through a shell mound almost 2 feet deep, made me want to jump for joy then lay down\u00a0in that pile and make shell angels like we did as a kid in the snow. Sitting and sifting at one spot, Sue filled up her mesh shell bag with treasures like this FLORIDA CONE, FLAT SCALLOP \u00a0and lots of APPLE MUREXES…<\/p>\n

Susan from Cape Coral found her own stash of goodies too…<\/p>\n

These are just some of her besties … but notice the GAUDY NATICA (COLORFUL MOON) on the top of her right hand? Becky from Memphis (September 26 post<\/strong><\/a>) asked to see that shell when I was ooohing and ahhhing over it because she had never seen one before. Susan said “Well of course!” then showed Becky the GAUDY NATICA …. then told her to keep it because she had a few already. Every day I meet such amazing people on our beaches! That was so sweet Susan!<\/p>\n

Linda (Safety Harbor, FL)\u00a0 had her own spot in shell heaven.\u00a0We all were just having the best time hanging out on the big pile just digging away finding gem and gem. It was a shelling party!<\/p>\n

Isn’t it incredible that she was sitting in this same spot too and uncovered so many shells to fill up her bag? These were a few of her besties …<\/p>\n

Teresa from TN was no exception in finding great shells to fill up her bag AND joining in on the fun of looking at everybody’s favorite shells.<\/p>\n

\"teresa<\/a><\/p>\n

More LIGHTNING WHELKS, OLIVES, another GAUDY NATICA and she also found a CRUCIFIX SHELL…<\/p>\n
