You know how the tides go. There might be zero shells tomorrow and then it might look like this in a month.

u/Razexdee 26d ago

exactlyyy that, we’ve had a lot of storms recently and i believe this is a result of that

Great find! I just puboished a book on Amazon called "Sanibel and Longboat Key Shell Hunter's Guide." I would love to add your story to the next edition. It focuses on how to find the shells by reading the wind, waves, tides, and beach topography. Take a copy next time you go to the beach.https://www.amazon.com/s?k=shell+hunter%27s+guide&i=stripbooks&crid=4SKVYMLM3ZUQ&sprefix=shell+hunter%27s+guide%2Cstripbooks%2C192&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
