\"Eddy's<\/a>

Eddy's shell bucket<\/p><\/div>\n

I didn’t see shellers with buckets filled to the rim with seashells today, but I did see a few buckets that had nice quality shells that made every other sheller smile when they peeked into the bottom. This is Eddy’s bucket with that big FLAT SCALLOP and so mant color variations and sizes of the FIGHTING CONCHS and other goodies.<\/p>\n

I first met Eddy<\/a><\/strong> in August with his sister Rachael and they are back in full shelling mode. Look at those CONES Rachael found.<\/p>\n

This next bucket could make a grown shelling woman cry… I mean smile too.<\/p>\n

\"Kings<\/a>

A bucket of Crowns<\/p><\/div>\n

This is very impressive to see all of the KINGS CROWNS together in the bottom of this bucket, isn’t it? Molly found a secret shelling spot digging in some mud flats where she found all of these lovelies completely empty. Jack pot!<\/p>\n

\"seashells<\/a>

Molly and Ella (MI)<\/p><\/div>\n

This is KING’S CROWN queen Molly and her daughter Ella with their other best finds of the week…. SEA URCHINS, 8″ HORSE CONCH, ALPHABET CONES, SHARK’S EYES, ANGEL WINGS and a NUT MEG. Ella told me that shelling was her most favorite thing to do. Then a close second was rock climbing.<\/p>\n

\"Ella<\/a>

Cuties Ella and Manny<\/p><\/div>\n

Ella and her little brother Manny are excited to show off a few more shells.. a SUNRAY VENUS CLAM and a JUVENILE FIGHTING CONCH.<\/p>\n

\"Limpet<\/a>

Limpet, seaglass, tusk and shark's tooth <\/p><\/div>\n

The picture above are treasures that shellers Melody and Bill found on a day trip to Venice \u00a0yesterday. Clockwise from the left … a KEY HOLE LIMPET<\/a><\/strong>, SEA GLASS, SHARK’S TOOTH FOSSIL and a TUSK shell all placed on top of a seagrape leaf. Nice finds!<\/p>\n

\"Shellers<\/a>

Happy Anniversary Melody and Bill! What a nice way to “Shellebrate”!<\/p>\n

\"Sanibel<\/a>

Sanibel Blind Pass Sand bar<\/p><\/div>\n

There are still shells on the Sanibel side but the rip tide picked up a little this afternoon in between the shore and the sand bar… so be VERY CAREFUL if you are shelling around there. I’ve finally found all you crazy shellers like us so I don’t want to lose any of you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
