As soon as I saw this huge LION’S PAW<\/strong>, I wanted to grab it and run down the beach. Unfortunately for me, I had to remain calm and admire it in the hands of the guy who found it… Bob from California.<\/p>\n

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

He couldn’t believe his luck when he found it on a sand bar off West Gulf Drive this morning. He pointed out the nodules were broken off but then we all said “who cares!”. That’s a fantastic find.<\/p>\n

Congrats, Bob!<\/p>\n

I also saw local sheller Liz with some killer finds of her own… a FLORIDA CONE, TRUE TULIP, FLAT SCALLOP and a perfect SCOTCH BONNET with great color.<\/p>\n

I think the cooler weather was bringing lots of the locals to the beach this weekend. We saw our friend Jean collecting COCKLE shells to line a walking path in her yard. Good idea!<\/p>\n

Shelling guide Louise Alt from Waterwoman Adventures <\/strong>was shelling with her trusty first mate Darla. I always love to run into Louise!<\/p>\n

Jane<\/strong><\/a> <\/a>was shelling off East Gulf Drive for black SCALLOPS to make a frame for her husband John’s picture…<\/p>\n

Darlene (Pine Island) found this 7 inch LIGHTNING WHELK on the sand bar at Blind Pass…<\/p>\n

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

Barbara from Long Island, NY had just gotten started shelling for the day and found a nice SHARKS EYE…<\/p>\n

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

April from PA loves the WORM ROCK like I do…<\/p>\n

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

 Yep, I can say “Yee Haw!” for Bob and all of the other successful shellers this weekend. There were some mighty good seashells out there for the pickin’. :)<\/p>\n
