It turns out, it was a bait net (looked like a heck of a shelling net to me! haha- shelling on the brain) to use for fishing. They have been visiting Sanibel every year for 33 years but were a little disappointed in the shelling until we showed them a few MUREXES, OLIVES and LIGHTNING WHELKS \u00a0we were finding in the surf. They wanted to know what they were doing wrong so Clark demonstrated how to get a big scoop of shells with his net\/backhoe&#8230;then pulled up that tremendous ALPHABET CONE right in front of all of us. That was a lesson for all of us.
