Shellzam! This HORSE CONCH rolled up on the beach right in front of me!<\/p>\n

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

As the evening tide was coming in at Gulfside City Park Beach<\/strong><\/a>, it was bringing oodles of PENS SHELLS, SEA URCHINS and STARFISH…<\/p>\n

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

So many other cool things wash up too like\u00a0yellow SEA WHIPS, DONINIAS and BONES\u00a0from CRAB TRAPS. When we have high west winds, the water gets so rough that CRAB TRAPS get tossed around so hard the BONES that are left over from the bait (mostly PIGS FEET) end up falling out then wash ashore.<\/p>\n

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

The Gulf Of Mexico is so powerful, even when the wind dies down the currents still have enough power to wash large live HORSE CONCHS\u00a0on the beach. Clark and I saw about 6 live HORSE CONCHS wash up on to the beach. We tried to walk them out in the water far enough to not wash up again but all we can do is keep our fingers crossed they stayed there.<\/p>\n

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

And then… there are magical times when one of these big, beautiful shells rolls up on the beach completely empty like this one found by Lynn from Missouri. Spectacsheller!<\/p>\n

And then…. another big, beautiful empty HORSE CONCH rolls up for me too! We\u00a0got to\u00a0shellebrate together!\u00a0\"Pam<\/a><\/p>\n

You want to know the\u00a0most amazing thing? I filmed my find on video so you get to see it too…. hopefully soon. I was filming all of the cool BEACH BLING on my iPhone but didn’t realize that I had been videoing for 6 minutes and 40 seconds. I’ve had the hardest time downloading a video thats so long- Ack! So… as Im writing, it still has 329 minutes remaining to download. OMG Ive already been trying for a day now! So I will show you this awesome unedited video in my next post just so you can see everything single thing I saw on my beach walk and see how I found my HORSE CONCH. Its so cool!<\/p>\n

If you want to see it as soon as it’s published on Youtube…. you can subscribe to my iLoveShelling Youtube channel<\/strong><\/a> to always be the first to be notified when I publish a new shelling video. After CLICKING HERE-<\/strong><\/a> \u00a0Just click the red button on the right that says “Subscribe”<\/p>\n
