I'll have to rely on you and Pam before I make any more blunders like that!!!<br /><br />Shelllady, I will certainly let you in on any tips I discover (and have discovered) along the way! I use a drill press, too, for some shells ;)Dellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826435478377353342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096387075676992184.post-76076259126820659892011-05-04T12:01:27.892-04:002011-05-04T12:01:27.892-04:00Nice!

Below that is a Juvenile Fighting Conch (they look so different than the adults). To the left is Melampus coffeus, commonly called the Coffee Bean Snail, then your Wentletraps; to the left of them is a Purplish Tagelus. Right above your Wentletraps, I believe is a Gulf Oyster Drill. I don't know what the one to the left of the Drill is, hard to tell from the pic. Then you already know your Common Atlantic Bubbles and White Baby's Ears. Looks like you had a great day both shelling and hanging out with loved ones!Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096387075676992184.post-19989309689620601942011-05-04T11:50:10.303-04:002011-05-04T11:50:10.303-04:00I have been trying drilling shells to make some sp...I have been trying drilling shells to make some special earrings, specifically wentletraps and I was not successful....any pointers?
