I also don't know much about charleston shelling but I can say that tybee island east of savannah is littered with shells. I find complete, dead knobed whelks there all the time. There is not a great deal of variety on tybee, but what is there is in very large numbers. There are many places on the beach where you can take 5 or 6 steps without stepping on sand, just shells. If you have some time I highly recommend taking a trip there. If you have any questions, fell free to mail me at [log in to unmask]

Hi Martha,
I don't know about Charleston as a shelling spot. I was on Hilton Head island on New Year's Day a couple of years ago in exceptional mild weather. The beach there was devoid of shells. But being a micro head, I had my magnifying loop on at the little pools with tiny bits of debris. I managed to pick up Teinostoma obtectum and Solariorbis infracarinatus, both of which you can see at http://jaxshells.org/atlantic.htm
Good luck,
David Kirsh
