Thread: Tuatua

we get them a lot up this way. look for areas along a beach with heaps of (dead) shell life and importantly tuatua shells. often not as far out as you think. dig with your feet. if you find one keep concentrating on that area as they often are in groups. break up a weetbix in new salt water, i throw in a frozen coke bottle to keep it cool. leave minimum four hours

I found the sand/mud in this spot too hard to dig with my feet but I found areas where just the tips of the shell must have been very near the surface and I could feel them with my feet walking around then dig with my hands.
