Hi Karen,
Thank you for your suggestion. I have found Folly Beach on my Charleston
Map and will try to get there. I can't wait to try!! I will let you know
how it goes!

Dear Martha.
Suggest if you can get there, try to go out to Folly Beach, just SE of
Charleston, and go
all the way to end of the beach preferably at low tide. My sister and
I, on our way to Florida
in 2006, shelled our way down the Carolinas and Georgia at 'selected'
beaches.
Folly Beach was one of them and really was pretty good. In the tide
pools were
many olives, dead for sure, but if you sorted through them, could get
some decent specimens. At the
very end of the beach, on the inlet side, were the most shells:
Florida rock
shells (hemastoma); tulips, whelks, and even dead pairs of angel wings
we
dug out of the muck at that particular part of the beach There were
also bivalve pairs
and I think this is the beach where each of us found a wentletrap at
the tide line.
Good luck with the trip and I'll be interested in how it goes.
Karen
