As Jane and I walked all along West Gulf Drive after those cold (down to 37 degrees!) winds came through this past week, I heard her say “Whoa!” then bend down to pick up a shell. She found a JUVENILE MILK CONCH<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

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

A MILK CONCH is very unusual to find here on Sanibel since it’s a caribbean shell.<\/p>\n

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

Look how colorful it still is!<\/p>\n

If you remember, Beach Girl Robyn<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>found an adult MILK CONCH along the same beach in September and I said the same…. “Unusual”. Maybe I should say it’s a “rare” find here instead. To find it here, it’s way more rare than finding a JUNONIA! In any case, this 5 inch shell a fantastic find.<\/p>\n

So then we keep walking and she’s about 5 paces ahead of me. I see her run and pick up something else in a hurry. She yells “Aha! A SCOTCH BONNET!”. What???<\/p>\n

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

Yes, my buddy Jane also found a perfect SCOTCH BONNET right in front of me. I felt like I was walking with Clark for goodness sakes! Heehee. No, really….we were both ecstatic.<\/p>\n

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

Note to self: Never let Jane walk in front of me while we are shelling together. Ha!<\/p>\n

\u00a0We also met SS Jenny (Shelling Sister) sifting through a sweet honey hole where she was finding oodles of FIGHTING CONCHS, WHELKS and OLIVES. She got out there before sunrise and used her iLS lighted cap<\/a><\/strong> she got for Christmas! Right after I took this picture she found two ALPHABET CONES in the same spot. Weehoo! She had no trouble finding the Sanibel Six many times over.<\/p>\n

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

Congrats to Jane and Jenny on your seaside treasure trove!<\/p>\n
