About This Item

There are a number of ostrich eggshell beads attached to the Travel Bug. These beads were discovered at a location approximately 50m from the shoreline near Schoenmakerskop, Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
There are a number of 'kitchen middens' in the immediate area. These middens were the assembly point where the Khoisan people (hunter-gatherers) would gather to prepare their shellfish harvest for cooking. There are numerous books available on this subject such as "Shorelines, Strandlopers and Shell Middens" by John Parkington.

    Saw this as my dad and brother took me caching for the first time (officially). I've really been caching with them since I was born. Today I got my own geocaching account.
