>Has the recent storms helped with any shelling lately?

Not a whole lot! A couple of years ago, there was a storm called Alberto that came through, and the shelling was FABULOUS for several days afterward. I found SO much stuff after that one.

Fay, not so much. There were reports of piles along West Gulf, but they turned out to be lots and lots of clams and fragments, not much in the way of gastropods.

I went to the Lighthouse Beach on Saturday and found that Fay had brought a lot of stuff ashore there, but it was dreadful, smelly stuff. Lots and lots of sea squirts and sea grass. Strangely, a large quantity of paper figs was also present. They were mostly covered with barnacles. I brought home a bunch and successfully cleaned up most of them - I think I got about 20 that were viable/didn't break when I tried to get the barnacles off.

I did some mobile blogging while I was out there - here's the posts from that day -

And here is a photo of the shells after I cleaned them up
