I love Sanibel! I like finding cool shells, and then placing them in the walk way for others to "find".

That is so nice! Gee, up north they used to throw pennies in the sand in front of the guys with metal detectors on the beach.

When I lived in NJ, I worked for a car dealership. There were always extra keys from cars that already got sold, so we would take them down to the beach, and toss the keys into the sand. Then we would go put a sign uP on the boardwalk say lost keys, reward $100.

It would drive the old guys with metal detectors nuts...

Seashells just make so many people so happy. Yes it is an addiction, but a fun addiction & your not hurting anyone or yourself..

We weren't referring to shellers. We were talking about the childish prank with the keys.
