Shellers Oscar and Ginette in Panama City Beach

This was Oscar & Ginette's first visit to Panama City Beach. The friendly shellers are from Ottawa and have been here for a few months but are leaving Tuesday.

We met yesterday morning while I was digging up shells some of which they were thrilled to have. Then today, saw them again here where I dug last week, he with a trowel and she with a large shell piece, digging up a storm. They thanked me for showing them "how to dig for shells"... FUN!



It was a beautiful windy day and I was rewarded when I walked at St Andrews State Park early this morning by this find in the sand dune... I think it's a Quahog Shell






Here are few scallops I found along the shore


A few goodies from this afternoon: Scotch Bonnets, Augers and one of my favs, White Baby Ears


A lovely sunset tonight

Come Dig with Me!

Here's a 5 min vid from this morning

Sweet Sunset

Hit the Motherload

This afternoon dug in an area I've been plowing for a few weeks and SHAZAM! I hit the motherload WOW!


I just happened to bring 2 bags which I filled to capacity weight

A fellow shell lover stopped by and Nancy filled her cup to the brim as well




Tip of the iceberg


Lightning Whelks Galore!


Here's the largest of the 3 sundials I found

SUNSET TIME

Fun on the Farm

Yesterday was beautiful, so went out and looked for shells at the state park and then later down the beach including while watching the sunset... a perfect day!

Today's Keepers

An approaching storm made for lots of wind and waves which is GREAT for shelling! These were all from the beaches at St Andrews State Park this morning.
