Shellseeker Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Often hunting trips do not deliver great results. The finds are mostly broken or badly worn and none are rare. I really do not mind... There will be other days and I can always enjoy nature and the great outdoors. The water is still pretty deep but the weather is just about perfect -- 80s with the sun shining. The cool water is a blessing rather than a problem. A few times, my best find comes in the last sieve --- that was my case here!! It is only a tad over an inch, but DSP and only the 3rd I have ever found!! Initially I thought it was a Meg because of the impressive root. Enjoy.
