Just got back from a shelling trip to St. Pete and I'm still finding bits of scallop shell in my beach bag. Always looking for new spots to try, though. Has anyone had any luck finding conchs or clams at places like Sanibel or Anna Maria? Any tips on how to spot the best shells would be super helpful.
