RES Creations sells a tool for collecting seashells, sea glass and sharks teeth called the Susick Sea Shell Sifter Scoop. I have looked long and hard to find one after seeing someone on the beach using it. What I love about this product is that it has a really good feel to it and the basket doesn't get little pebbles all stuck to the inside of it. It rinses out clean every time so when I store it in my trunk, I don't have a sandy mess.
This tool works really well in shallow water. I can scoop up the shells I spot in the water before they can get away. I use to try grabbing the shells with my hand before the next wave hit. I would either lose it in the wave action or get knocked over from the wave. By the end of the day my back would be aching from the constant bending.
I live in Florida and take my seashell sifter scoop to the beach every time I go. Wish I had a dollar for every time someone would ask where I got it.
I found mine on their website. www.seashellsifter.com It also came with free shipping and a mesh tote bag to carry my seashells. This is shell collecting at its best because they have made it fun and easy to use.
Why aren't they in stores down here????? read more
