I think your ones are just old and bleached by the sun I am afraid. Most of them look like the Purple Dwarf Olive (Olivella biplicata) and they should be quite glossy with an apex that goes to a point. Those in your picture look to have the apex eroded to a flat or open hole. Google them up or go to gastropods .com and see what fresh ones look like.
