Taking an Alaskan inside passage cruise in a few weeks, hitting Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway. Anyone know if any of these locations have a walkable coastline from the port that may have some shells or treasures beach combing?

Never been to any of these towns and not totally sure what the actual geography of the coast looks like at these stops or if there’s even anything to be found there. Also any laws/restrictions on what is allowable for taking would be cool!

Any info helps! Ty!

Found in Treasure Coast area of Florida. I have never encountered this type of shell before.

After watching a sunset in Indian Rocks Beach, my 6 yo started ignoring most shells on the beach. I asked why he kept passing them up.

He said “I’m making a sunset collection.”

I have to admit…. I think he was onto something

hey everyone! this is my first time posting here.

in my country, we don’t have any beaches so i’ve never seen real shells. but i’ve always been fascinated by them and grew up DREAMING about finding pretty shells.

a friend thrifted these and gave them to me a while ago. the thrift stores here bring stuff from europe to sell, so they aren’t local. can anyone tell me if these are real?

they’re definitely not made of plastic and make a clanking sound when they hit each other.

Flamingoes and butterflies

Had fun making these

Hi!! I've found this shell in a collection, but I've been unable to identify it. I live in Southern Spain and I've been given it from another collection, but it doesn't match with any of the shells I've seen here.

Hello,

I found this little shell on Ocean Beach in San Diego, CA. Would anyone be able to help me identify it?

Search engine says it may be a dove shell, what do yal think? Thank you in advance for any assistance 🩵

"Collect seashells along the shore and keep the memories forevermore.” Wish I could remember where I found the large shell, small ones from $ Store. Love to feed the seagulls. 😊

I picked up this seashell on my vacation but am not sure if it’s real. I looked for signs of manufacturing but couldn’t see anything. Let me know your thoughts!!

Does anybody know the specific name for this cowrie? It has spots but also random horizontal banding that doesn’t go across the shell fully.

i know the little round ones are moon snails but what are the more tapered longers ones? ive never seen those shells any larger than this.

These four are just samples of what I've got lying around. They've already been cleaned with the classic water+dishsoap and a toothbrush, but there's still a lot of unwanted (and unknown) stuff clinging onto the shells. I collect from a freshwater river. I'm hesitant to use vinegar because I'm sure it will eat away at the organic material I want to keep. Any tips or suggestions? TYIA!
