So mom & I headed to Little Hickory Island on Thursday. We had all day to be at the beach and planned on enjoying it until I had to pick up my daughter from school. We ended up staying for 7 hours! Which means we were non-stop shelling for 7 hours, with little breaks for snacks of course. We aren't those people who go to the beach to relax & read a book. (not that there's anything wrong with that :)

| At the end of the day- this is what I had found |
The tide was coming in all day and bringing with it plenty of shells. I ended up finding 34 olive shells!

I got a really cool video of a fighting conch that I put on my facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/seashellsandsaltyair
so check that out if you have time.
We had a great day shelling but I have to tell you, I was exhausted! Shelling for 7 hours is rough on the back! However, I'm ready to do it again & can't wait to get back out there!
Hope you have a great 1st week of April!

Wow...nice work for just one day! Spent last weekend in Vero Beach and got a few good ones, but not many...
ReplyDeleteWow - looks like a fantastic day. I'm going to have to look up Little Hickory Island. I don't know where thats at.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deej. The best shelling is on the west coast.
ReplyDeleteKim-it's in Sw Florida. It's beautiful!
Nice finds! What a great shelling day!
ReplyDeleteThe only time I relax on the beach is if there aren't any shells rolling in! LOL and it IS exhausting :D
Wow!!! Great shells!!! The naticas are fantastic. It is hard to find one, let alone three. What a day. Capt. Brian
