MY Alabama beach finds

[Luck Be a Lady]

Went to Gulf Shores, AL with my husband (seger98) and got my Ace250 out and did a little detecting today. I didn't find as much as he did but it was really a beautiful sunny day!

I fouund $3.64 in clad and that elongated piece that was made from a penny (you can see the memorial on the back). Picked up alot of seashells for our granddaughter back home in WI after my arm got tired LOL. Can anyone tell me why some of these shells have such perfect little holes in them? Just curious........

The second picture was taken a few days ago there when it was really foggy!

Looks like the hunting AND the weather was nice!!!

The precise holes in the shells are created when other mollusks use their mouth and secretions to "drill" thru the shell....there's food on the inside!

Congrats on the hunt and the warm weather !!!!!

Holes usually made by star fish. They wrap their arms/legs around the shell and drill through with their tongue/mouth. They then inject stomach acid into the contents of the shell and dissolve the meat, they then suck the liquid out and move on to the next victim.

From cold white snow to warm white sand, that had to be a welcomed break.
Happy New Year!

A foggy day at the beach is better than any day anywhere else and even better with a detector.
Have a Happy New Year

ahhhh warm beach! Looks like a great time! I am sure your granddaughter is going to be very happy your arm got tired so she could get some shells. Glad you had a good day!

Great finds and glad you enjoyed our state's beautiful beaches. I'm several hours north of them so it gets a little cooler here - 23 degrees last night. But can't complain, I could live up north in a cold state! 8)
