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

Not only did shellers find WHELKS, SUNRAY VENUS CLAMS, OLIVES and CONCHS like Corly and Paul from Iowa found on our iLoveShelling cruise to Cayo Costa Island…<\/p>\n

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

But there were some SAND DOLLARS, BABY’S EARS, LACE MUREXES and SHARKS EYES found…<\/p>\n

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

By folks like the Bunkin family…Keith, Karley, Melissa, Sue, Kaitly, Matthew and Joeylynn.<\/p>\n

I may have turned a little green with envy after seeing this shellmazing WORM SHELL and shelltastic HORSE CONCH. We are always so happy to see mid sized HORSE CONCHS – they don’t seem as common to find this size.<\/p>\n

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

Jan and Tara from Indianapolis were the lucky shellers to find them.<\/p>\n

Sweet Elna from North Carolina was so excited to find two WENTLETRAPS<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

After looking at her shells, I think she only found one WENTLETRAP (then picked up the beautiful COCQUINA) and the other white shell was very unusual looking. Hmmmm. Now that I can see it in the photo a bit better, I think it’s a worn FLY SPECK CERITH.<\/p>\n

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

William from Atlanta found one of my fave pieces of BEACH BLING<\/strong><\/a>\u2026 a big ol hunk of WORM ROCK.<\/p>\n

As you can see everybody in coats and hats, our weather in southwest Florida got pretty chilly (low 60s) with some good high north winds. But the best part of the morning at Cayo Costa was \u00a0seeing parts of the beach that normally aren’t exposed because of the very low tide. You can see Savannah searching around sandy “peaty” areas which are rarely exposed.<\/p>\n

“Oh Look, y’all! It’s an ANGEL WING!” Burrowed in that peaty decomposed tree stump area, I saw just a little tiny part of a FALSE ANGEL WING<\/strong><\/a> peeking out. So sweet!<\/p>\n

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

I filmed us spotting these precious little ANGELS tucked away and sharing in the joy of a true treasure hunt \u2026 enjoy!<\/p>\n\n

They are perfect! It was truly so much fun to share this experience with our group.<\/p>\n

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

Vanessa from San Fransicsco found a teeny tiny WING too..<\/p>\n

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

This is very unusual… I found the lip of a broken DEER COWRIE right as we got off the boat. Weird.<\/p>\n

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

The day was such an adventure as we started off with the cold weather and whipping wind but with a Captiva Cruises boat load of awesome shellers and my A #ONE by my side, it was a shelltabulous time.<\/p>\n

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

PS- Im sure you noticed my hand completely scratched up in the video as I pulled out those FALSE ANGEL WINGS\u2026 our new little kitty<\/strong> <\/a>is crraaaazy! LOL<\/p>\n
