I’ve never seen so many glossy PAINTED EGG COCKLES<\/strong><\/a> wash up together as much as I have on the new sand bar at Blind Pass Captiva. Gail Carr (Maryland) collected of these beauties and much more sweet gems she sorted in this fab tackle box…<\/p>\n

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

That nice little organized box had another side too she filled with sweet treasures…<\/p>\n

I love to talk to people who get so much enjoyment at collecting so many different varieties of shells\u2026 as I do. Gail said “Each shell has it’s own unique beauty.” I agree! That’s why I got so thrilled when she showed me she found a couple of my new fave shell\u2026 the CROSS-HATCHED LUCINE.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

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

She found a TEXAS LONGHORN<\/strong><\/a> too!<\/p>\n

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

She even found a few SHIVA SHELLS<\/strong> <\/a>\u2026 which are the OPERCULUM to the CHESTNUT TURBAN. Gail happen to find a few bright orange CHESTNUT TURBANS as well so I wanted you to see what they looked like together.<\/p>\n

Looking in the same area where I found my SCOTCH BONNET last week<\/strong><\/a>, I found 6 more CROSS-HATCHED LUCINES.<\/p>\n

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

I was thrilled to have \u00a0shared the excitement with Gail since she had found a few and didn’t think I wasn’t crazy for feeling so excited about finding “just another silly plain white clam shell”. LOL<\/p>\n

In less than a month, this whole sandy beach on the pass side of the jetty rocks has formed and if you look closely, here are some hidden gems in there. Seriously\u2026 twenty days ago, I took this next photo of the shelling on the Sanibel side and it shows in the background the Captiva jetty rocks\u2026no sand bar.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend (on my way to find my precious LUCINES) I took this photo of my view as I stood on the bridge that connects Sanibel to Captiva looking over to the Captiva side. Wild, huh? This is what keeps me shelling day after day\u2026 the beaches change every single day and you never know what you will find until you get there!<\/p>\n
