- National Sea Shell Day - who could resist going shelling on such a wonderful day? We head out to Lido Key to go shelling in Sarasota, FL on the biggest shell day of the year for some fun finds - both fossil seashells and modern ones too! We had a great time hunting for shells out there, and show you some amazing examples in both fossil sea shells and modern favorites like the Shark Eye Moon Snail, Limpet, Lightning Whelk, and FL Fighting Conch, just to name a few...

I love the purple lipped Florida Fighting Cone! I like Fossil and Modern. Modern catches my imagination more - the colors 😊
I know-- that color on that one was just incredible! but not gonna lie some of the fossils that we find that have color send me over the moon too!
I always enjoy watching !! My favorites are all the shells but most interesting are the fossils. To be able to date back and extinct and in your hands I find so exciting. Preserve life from the past. ❤so much to learn and enjoy
Thankyou
thank you! i love FL shell fossils! there are very few places where you can get this kind of diversity and quality of good shell fossils - so lucky that i live where they are!
How did your grandkids like the little fossils i sent for them in your box? :D
@@echouebijoux I just saw this Michelle. They absolutely love them. And their parents as well. Put into little bottles for each one of them to treasure. I told them you sent them and a huge Thankyou ! I have something special coming your way as well !! I’ll let you know as it goes out to keep an eye 👁️ out.
@@ginnamagda5810 yay! It’s so fun getting kids interested in this stuff- I’m glad they liked them!
@@echouebijoux hi Michelle. Your surprise package should be arriving soon. Enjoy!!
Down in the spongedocks in tarpon they have a ton of those fossil shells. I go there a lot to get my shells for crafts!!
@@dawnmeguin9648 oooh let me know where to look! I have only been there one time so I haven’t checked around that area much but heard they are all over the tailings islands….
Great video, as usual!! I used to get cramps in my feet also and my doctor told me to take magnesium…no more cramps!!!
thank you so much! and we recently got a bottle of magnesium oil that we are keeping in the van too to see if it helps. due to my autoimmune junk, i don't absorb that very well - or B or D vitamins either... so we will see if it helps! :) also, i am starting to wonder if my beach shoes were also causing problems - i got 2 new pairs and am trying both out. the 1st pair gave me blisters so those are a no but i have 2 others i am giving a shot... will let you guys know how it goes!
Great video!!
Have a few questions if you don’t mind, I’m new to shelling.
1. What tide chart do you use? You had it down to the minute.
2. From Venice beach up do you know of any good spots to find fossilized shells?
thank you very much! You might also like a video from about a month ago where we went sharking and shell hunting in the same day :) it was called FOSSIL HUNTING IN FL, i think...
1. For Tides, I use an app called TIDES. i used to use Tideschart website a lot too - but recently their website kicked me off for checking too many places in too short of a period of time. I couldn't use it or like 3 days, that's when i went and got the TIDES app. Available from google play - not sure about iPhone tho...
2. To find fossil shells - you can check landscaping piles pretty much anywhere in sarasota and manatee counties. you can also find a LARGE pile of them out on Egmont Key on the trails... check sand bag filling stations when we have a storm coming... or there are a few river locations that you will want to check out. Upstate near brooksville and center hill, suwannee river, and there is a spot in port charlotte are that also has the older eocene and oligocene stuff too... ALSO - check the bags of shells ad rock out in from of lowes. you can literally buy bags of fossils from sanford and other areas of Florida that are FULL of fossil shells. And of course if you get lucky enough to know someone who's doing some new construction, absolutely ask to look at whatever they dig up out of a hole! Fossil hunting in FL used to be much easier, but these days it's harder to find places to go. For more o the vertebrate stuff definitely the alachua and peace rivers are where to go.
Where do you attach your camera, is it on a band on your forehead or is it on a band on your chest 😊
i wear a necklace gumby by telesin :) lets me stay hands free
How odd... I don't hear your audio 🤔
interesting... i tried it out on the phone and the tv and the audio was working on this end... ???
@@echouebijoux must be me... Cheers and thank you!
