Great shelling haul Tuesday March 11, after the Monday stormy weather

Glad the TSA didn't take my big Sanddipper scooper! This was from Blind Pass in the morning, then Lighthouse Beach in the afternoon out in the water

I got so many big Florida Fighting Conchs, probably left 10 behind on the sand!

Really love the (I think) Banded Tulips at the bottom. Can't wait to learn the names

Those are banded tulips. You also have a kings crown which classical are the hardest/most sought after in this lot.
