Dean and Bonnie have been coming to Sanibel since the 1980’s.  Bonnie stepped off the boat and found a sand dollar then another and another and another. She also found sea urchins and a very cool jingle shell with both sides in tact. They are always fun to shell with and listen to their conversations. Bonnie enjoys making crafts out of shells such as ornaments and Christmas trees. Dean makes anything from wood for Bonnie’s shell creations. They both are excellent shellers and always a joy to have on the boat.

    The intact jingle is pretty amazing! I have never seen both sides together! Great find!

    What great finds with all of those perfect sand dollars. And then to find both sides of the jingle, too! Well done.
