I had a wonderful time with Toby, Angie, Ryan, Julie, Karley (super sheller) and Roger. We traveled to a remote stretch of beach empty of people. The ladies were all excellent shellers. Karley the youngest of the females impressed me with her keen shelling eye. They found many rice shells, tusk shells, key hole limpets, a baby ear shell, and many more. I was also impressed with there container for keeping the shells in. Karley loves coquinas. She found many in all different colors. I noticed a lot of small black fossilized bone in the sand. It looked like the sand on Manitosta Key. A place I had been to before with the Essential Beachcomber Karen, learning different techniques for collecting fossilized sharks teeth. Well much to my surprise we found fossilized sharks teeth. I have only found a few on the Island in 17 years. It was a great day of shell collecting with a great shelling family. I look forward to our next shelling expedition. Keep on shelling Karley!

Fossilized sharks teeth?! That's super cool!
Glad you all had such a nice time. :)
Those pill holders are great to protect mini shells after finding them. That little sheller came prepared. I also carry an old prescription bottle for tiny treasures. YahHoo! on the shark's teeth. I think it's going to be a great summer for them on Manasota Key. Even with a busy snowbird season on the beach the quantity/quality we are finding has not diminished.
We found a sharks tooth at Blind Pass too! That's a first I've seen at Blind Pass too. You never know what Mother Nature will be up to next. ;)
We found a sharks tooth at Blind Pass Sanibel Too! That's a first that I've seen there. You never know what gifts Mother Nature will give us next. ;)
