Introduction
- Collecting seashells can be a fun and rewarding hobby. Seashells come in all sorts of sizes and colors and every collection is unique. Best of all, seashells are free!
Step 1: Find a Beach
- The first step to collecting seashells is to locate a beach near your home or vacation spot.
- The best beaches for collecting seashells are quiet beaches without a lot of people.
- Once you locate a beach, check with your local park service to see if there are any rules about collecting seashells on that particular beach. Some beaches only allow collecting at certain points during the year, some not at all and some require permits.
- Visit the beach at low tide.
Step 2: Look for Shells
- Once you are at the beach, you should look for the best spots to find seashells.
- Find the place where the highest waves stop. This area should yield many great seashells.
- If you are willing to get a little wet, you can search the area where the smallest waves break before coming up onto the beach.
- If you are willing to get very wet, you can snorkel out in the open water where beautiful seashells can often be found.
- Once you find the place where you want to look, you can easily sift through large amounts of sand by using a sieve, a piece of water-resistant screen material stretched on a wooden frame.
- Check your seashells to make sure that there are not an animals currently living in them.
- Be patient in your search. It can take time to find the perfect shells.
Step 3: Clean Your Shells
- When you get your seashells home, you will need to clean them up a little before you can put them on display.
- Wash the shells with soap and water, then put them on a towel to dry.
- If they start to smell after you wash them, there were probably animal remains in the shell. Soak the shell in water for a day or so and you should be able to shake the remains out.
- To bring out the color in dull shells, you can buff them with a small amount of silicone grease.
