Two avid shellers from the great state of Nebraska (now living in Louisville) traveled with me to secret spot number two. Gary started finding fighting conchs that were in excellent condition.  Kris likes lightning whelks and she found some beautiful ones. Kris also found a very large rice shell. (Nice find Kris) The gems of the day were two crested tellins. We also found babies ears and tusks. Both Gary and Kris have good shelling eyes. Gary emailed me later to tell me he found two more crested tellins where he was staying on Sanibel. It was a day of great finds! Thanks for a fun day of shelling!
