Hunting tiny shells. Tiny package, big thrill!

If you would have told me I'd have a blast hunting tiny shells years ago I would have thought you were nuts. But....there is a process us shellers go through. And finding small shells isn't where we start. Like a fine wine, it's an acquired taste - and skill. But Lighthouse Beach was good to me!!!
