The skies were blue, the water turquoise, the beach had shells on our iLoveShelling Adventure to Big Hickory island. But the best part of this entire day for me was meeting such awesome happy people who were seeking shells in the water and beach bling (like SEA PEARLS still in their purse) and mini shells up on the beach. It was soooo much fun to meet y’all!
Super Sheller Tyler found an awesome albinistic LACE MUREX and GAUDY NATICA…
He also found the coolest FIGHTING CONCH shell fragment perfectly sliced showing its growth pattern. Love that so much.
How can these smiles get cuter?
Now you can see why those are such cute smiles… look at that huuuuge NUTMEG (of course its always a good day to find an ANGEL WING).
It was fun to see Julie again with her family. While the girls were shelling, the boys were fishing on the island. Yep, they caught quite a few fish – congrats!
Such a fun day Mother-Daughter day shelling together :)
We even had awesome shellers from Europe!
Its a special day to meet so many shellers who have the same love of shelling. Beach combing is really just a path to lead us to experiences that have even bigger meaning, right?
Who knows where those experiences will take us when we explore and learn about the sea.
Long lasting friendships are formed on special days like these.
You know its a special day when DOLPHINS wanna dance and play with us!
Can’t wait! We will be joining you (for the 3rd time) on May 2nd to Cayo Costa! These pictures are making me count down the days til we are there. So excited!!!
Pam, my husband and I had a blast on our shelling trip with you! We learned so much, thanks to you I found a nice lighting whelk the next day by following your instructions of looking at the beach and seeing only the top of a shell. I investigated and it was a perfect shell down underneath the sand. My husband has now been converted and is better than I am. And such a nice bonus we meet two new friends!! Thank you so much, whenever we get back we will come shelling with you again. Oh, your car was amazing!
Will you be having any shelling trips in Sept? We will be there Sept 2nd to 9th. Thanks…Kathy Conrad
Pam, beautiful shellers, shells, and dolphins! Looks like a great day for all :)
Thank you for sharing, Pam.
Thank You for sharing your pics. I really enjoy seeing all of the pics. I can’t wait until Oct. My friend and I will be down on Oct. 15th thru Oct 20. I am for sure going on one of your trips if there are any available in that time period. I will keep checking your dates until then.
Hey, I hope your ankle is all better. I am so excited to meet you.
Omg, looks wonderful. I will be joining you tomorrow Pam. I’m so ready. Sandy

It sure looks like all had an ASTONISHING Day & were filled with much excitement & happiness! Savor every moment you can in life!
I am looking forward to seeing your summer dates. I am crossing my fingers for June 28-July 1st or the end of August as I am a school teacher and can get away at this time. I can’t wait to meet you and go on a shelling trip. I fell in love with Sanibel the first time I visited and part of my heart decided to stay there. Love seeing all your posts!
I love seeing your posts. I can’t wait to visit Sanibel again. I fell in love with the Island the first time I visited and part of my heart decided to stay there. My fingers are crossed for a shelling trip June 27- July 1st as I am a teacher and can get away during this time. My nights are filled with dreams of Alphabet Cones and my evenings with virtual shelling after school. Can’t wait to meet you!
