Clam Digging 101

We were invited to learn the art of clam digging last weekend. It's pretty simple actually and can be a lot of fun as well as a good chance to get outside and enjoy your kids!

To dig clams it goes something like this...

Wait until the tide is at it's lowest and then,

Push clam gun into the sand when you see a bubble in the sand,
Pull up gun and inspect for shells.
Then repeat,

Push gun in....

Pull gun out and check...

Repeat! Get the idea? Pretty simple isn't it?

Our limit for the night was 15 clams each, which translated to 75 clams. We came home with about 55- we had to stop due to lack of daylight and the rains coming down.
