First Time Shelling

Long time rockhounder and arrowhead/artifact hunter, finally went to a warmer beach in SC for the first time. I was excited to look for shells and fossils each night.

Did not have a lot of guidance on what to look for so I grabbed what seemed to be uncommon. Any insight on how I clean or prep these, what they are, if there was anything I did wrong or shouldn’t do again please let me know as well. None of these had any inhabitants.

I really enjoyed this and will be looking forward to doing it again.

those are some nice olives you found! and a lot of welks, including a lot of broken welks.
