How to Collect
Seashells
Seashells, also known by biologists as the
exoskeletons of critters in the phylum Mollusca, are
popular for collectors.
Instructions
STEP
1: Get more out
of your collecting by learning what animals
lived in the shells you pick up.
STEP
2: Look for
bubbling holes in the wet sand. This indicates
mollusk burrows, which means there should be
abandoned shells nearby.
STEP 3: Check
out the rules concerning shell collecting in
the areas that you are interested in. Some
places don't allow collecting or allow it
only during certain times of year. Some
require permits. The local park service is a
good place to start looking for information.
STEP 4: Use a
piece of screen stretched onto a wooden
frame to sieve out the sand. (Be sure to use
a type of screen that won't degrade from the
water - brass is good.)
STEP 5: Put
things back if you move them. Rocks and
driftwood may reveal a great find, but
remember those places are also likely
somebody's home.
STEP 6:
Handle starfish and sand dollars (phylum
Echinodermata) carefully - they're very
delicate.
Tips & Warnings
Don't limit
yourself to sandy beaches, particularly ones
with hard surf, which aren't good habitats
for shell dwellers. You can find shells in
mud flats and reef areas as well.
Walking a
beach after a storm is a good way to find
empty seashells that have been washed
ashore.
Be careful.
Don't get so wrapped up in your hunting that
you lose track of time, the tides and your
sunscreen.
Some areas
prohibit the collection of all seashells.
