Summary, Etc. "The Ultimate Shell Seeker's Guide is the book that beachcombers have been anxiously waiting for an expert to finally write. Join Dr. Ashley Oliphant as she reveals the secret calculus that the best beachcombers in the world are constantly working in their brains as they decide when and where to plan their next hunt. This is not just another identification guide that offers species names and descriptions. Instead, this book is a practical field manual that puts the reader on the beach with one of the most well-known beachcombers in the country. Oliphant reveals the insider knowledge that so many veteran collectors want to keep hidden from newcomers to the hobby, including where to hunt and how to read the tides, moon phases, wind directions, wave heights, and seasonal fluctuations that have such a dramatic impact on beachcombing success. The text delivers the foundational information that beginners need but then advances beyond those fundamentals to offer experienced hunters more complex strategies to help improve their game. Along the way, readers will be entertained by Oliphant's unique personal stories and enthusiastic outlook-both of which have made her such a sought-after speaker on the national circuit"-- Provided by publisher.
