LOVE the dumping of the shells! I've started to do that as well! I usually put them in the ocean though for crabs.

Where were shelling in this video?

I live in Maine. I love watching shelling videos. Tiny shells are my favorite. They take up less space in my home. I also collect small colorful stones. Small drift wood and sea glass. Thank you for sharing your videos.

I love tinies. I also love cones, olives and bonnets. Any shells under one inch.

The fake nails get on my nerves... so distracting, sorry. I love the shelling, though!

Wow! Love your video! Grew up by the ocean, and I am trying to show my kids the beauty of it so that they can grow up to appreciate it just like I did. We live in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl., and we don’t see those beautiful shells around here. Have to visit Deerfield Beach to experience that with them! Subbed.

Have you ever shelled in the Ft. Lauderdale area? I'm wondering what kind of shells are there. I'll be there on vacation next week. :)

Not a hoof or a hoof shell. They are called Slipper shells (they kinda resemble a house slipper) and also sometimes called a boat because they will float on top of the water like a little kayak. The large ones are the females and the smaller ones are the males and the males will attach on top of the females which attach to other shells, and if the female dies, the males can change into females. I think you were confusing two different things about the Lighting Whelks and whether they are male or female. All lightning whelks are sinistral (left-handed or left facing opening) but the very large ones are always female because they have to grow big to be able to have enough energy to lay eggs but the males stay relatively small in comparison. Not necessarily that they don’t live as long, but they just don’t keep growing and growing the way the females do. I think the females of the slippers are bigger for the same reason, to lay eggs, but I don’t think that the male Lightning Whelks can just decide ok, well I guess I have to be the mom now. 😂 The main whelks you will find in SWF that are right facing are going to be Pear Whelks, but up in the Carolinas you can also find Channel Whelks occasionally and Keiner Whelks (which are a species of Knobbed Whelks) are the most common in the Carolinas. Knobbed Whelks look a lot like a mirrored version of the Lightning Whelks but the stripes are no where near as prominent.

My favorites are the lightening welks, tulips, sand dollars and moonsnails. I went to Keewaydin also but a different tour company. But the island is amazing with all the shells. I actually had to send a box of shells home ahead of my flight. lol

Also love sand dollars.

My favorites are the lightning whelk, calico scallops and the tulips.

❤

Nice video. But, both male and female whelks have left handed apertures and only abnormal whelks are right handed and a rare find. Large Whelks are female and the males die at half she mature size. Cant believe you had the place to yourselves. Beautiful location!

So glad to see you back on the beach!! Love this! ❤

Luv it

Wow, what a beautiful trip! Such a beautiful Island. LOVE ALL the Alphabet Cones you found-the chocolate ones were yummy! Such fun finds. That albino nutmeg was great!. Happy shelling-I love your hands!! ( 2:26, 12:46 & 21:40 “The Atlantic Giant Cockle” Dinocardium robustum)

My favorite of your finds was the albino nutmeg. It’s my favorite shell, I’d love to find a large dark brown one.

Keewaydin is a great place to find alphabet cones, horse conchs and murexes. Just a side note- the shells you called prickly cockles are really Atlantic giant cockles. The “hoof” shell you found is a slippersnail. Welcome to my side of Florida!

At 6:12, I believe it is a pink Semele and not a calico clam.

You should not post shelling videos if your not going to post the beach. There are plenty of shells for everyone. You’re a selfish sheller. Sorry

Very cool finds! Don't listen to that person i love your nails!

It’s A stained bonnet

Nice finds! Which beach is this?

You missed a few frond oysters

I look for heart-shaped stones and hag stones along with shells!

As someone from the east coast of Florida I love seeing more east coast videos! Haven’t found as many varieties before but these videos inspire me =]

Love the coeries and the scotch bonneys.. eould love some of those! Yhe broken shell is a tun shell..😊

My favorites were the coffee bean trivias and the marginella.. so close to cowries in natire which are my ultimate favorites.. eould love to find these one day! Thanks for the walk

Thank you for the beach walk!

Your nails are very distracting.

Love the oyster x

Ohhh really!? First banded tulip! Amazing!

Nooooo

The Atlantic desorsio baby!

One of your mystery shells may have been an Atlantic Tegula? I've never found one before, but I'm on the lookout!

Love the Murex and the Coffee Bean!!!

Great finds! I also would like to know what beach you were at. Thanks!

That's the prettiest lions paw I've seen

Nice nails but not conducive for picking up treasures Beautiful finds Tx here

New subscriber here. Can you tell us where you are? You found some unusual shells that I had not see before, so was wondering what your location was.

Nice finds! I think the white shell you were unsure of is a lace murex. Were you in Deerfield again or Boca?

Congrats on the tulip. Where were you shelling?

The shell you found at 11:08 is actually a juvenile queen conch :) happy shelling! Great videos!

at 1:25 looks like Lithopoma tectum. It's closely related to the genus Turbo.

Gorgeous !

Excellent video, shell friend! Your shell at 6:12 is a Barbados Mitre - super cool find!

Really fun day in Boca! Incredible finds! 🤗 🐚 🐚 🐚 🐚
