Beach finds from multiple walks between Penzance and Marazion during February 2020. 

1 banded wedge shell (Donax vittatus) pair.

2 painted top shells (Calliostoma zizyphinum), 1 large, 1 small. 

1 very small auger shell (Turritella communis) (Bittium reticulatum).

2 sting winkles (Ocenebra erinaceus), 1 large, 1 small(er). 

18 small netted dog whelk (Tritia reticulata) shells. 

14 spotted cowrie (Trivia monacha) shells. 

137 perfect pieces of sea glass - my favourite by far from this month is the incredibly bright turquoise one on the bottom row.

6 pottery fragments, all white porcelain: 1 dark blue, probably willow pattern, could be tiles on a roof with a tree branch in front of it; 1 mid-blue flower and leaf design; 1 with only a few dark blue lines visible, possibly the edge of a design (plate?); 1 mid blue criss cross pattern surrounded by leaves and fruit; 1 mid-blue circles and lines pattern, probably the edge of a design (plate?); 1 very sharply detailed design in black, with an ornate leaf, a flag that says ‘YARMOUTH’ backwards, and the letters ‘WITH’, which could be the word on its own or the beginning of another.

Beach finds from between Penzance and Marazion. 1 January 2020.

1 banded wedge shell (Donax vittatus) pair. 

2 very nice ceramic pieces: 1 part of a dark blue design and one plain sky blue (that particular is one of my favourite things to find so it’s a good start to the year even if it’s not the largest haul).

56 pieces of sea glass, including a rare intense electric blue.
