Go to Lowes and get a cheap pry bar and a pair of Kevlar gloves. You'll also need a pair of tossable shoes as they'll be trashed when your done. You may want to get a claw rake while at Lowes if you like clams. You can find them in firmer transition zone between the sand and mud. I usually pull the rake while pressing firmly until I feel them scream... Lol They make a distinctive sound when the tines of the rake go across them. Like a scream. Usually if you find one there'll be more. Remember they have size and qty limits.
