\u00a0That seashell pile on Captiva’s Blind Pass jetty rocks is the gift that keeps on giving. Suzanne (Ft Myers) found a tiny bright orange HORSE CONCH with that cute little white tip about the same time I found my “candy” too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Get ready, cyber shellers! This is the shell pile I saw my little treasured “candy”. I was doing the Sit ‘N Sift in that big pile when I saw a little sliver of orange peeking through. Can you find it too? (Click the pic to enlarge. It’s a big file so it might take longer to download)<\/p>\n

\u00a0You got it!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Dave and Colleen (PA) were practically digging to China to strike buried treasure.<\/p>\n

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

Eureka! \u00a0They struck gold! He pulled out a golden HORSE CONCH and said “There are 2 famous lines for shellers. The first one is… ‘Oh my gosh that shell is absolutely gorgeous!’ and the second one is…’Awwww. If this shell were whole, it’d be perfect!’<\/em>” hahaha How many times have we all said those line??!!!!<\/p>\n

\u00a0While I was on the shell pile digging around, Clark<\/a><\/strong> was in the water with his infamous shelling backhoe…<\/p>\n

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

I knew he had something unusual when he came up to give me a shell. A BEAUTIFUL CRASSATELLA<\/a><\/strong>! We don’t often find these on Captiva.<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0Another beautiful day in paradise!<\/p>\n
