Is this oyster shell ok?

I rather thought so, the local general/feed store had 10 lbs for around 10 dollars, they are usually quite competitive, I found this interesting. Usually too good to be true, is too good to be true. It is also possible that the “expert” staff at TSC sold 50lbs at the 10 lb price. Ive had this at home Depot, after arguing that an item was individually priced and i had a box of them and they insist i am wrong.. I figured that was on them. And for every one of these deals I figure i got burned at least once, it probably balances

I pay about $1/lb for mine at my local hardware store.

Nope, that's how its priced here too. It's just manufactured kind of sloppy, I've found steel wool bits in mine a few times, and I know a few other members have too as well.

What do you do when you find steel wool bits!!?

Has any one else ever looked the mountains of Oyster shells Piled on the beach in Biloxi Miss. and wondered why they cost so much ?

I read your comment at first as "mountain oysters" and I was thinking ummmm...why would those be piled up on a beach?
