Today we're heading out for the early morning low tide shelling at Holden Beach, NC. It turned out to be a super productive morning! Thank you for coming along and enjoy!
Oh my gosh you went to Holden! Ever since they did a refurbishment over a year ago , people have found those sea biscuits. I just want to find one! That giant Eastern Murex was perfect! You just had an awesome shelling adventure! Thanks so much for sharing. That was exciting!
I've been hearing so much about Holden that I just had to check it out. The biscuits are everywhere but are so fun to find! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that murex too. They're absolute monsters compared to the apple/lace murexes. Thanks for watching!
Hello, just wanted to say that I absolutely lovvvvve your videos & can’t wait to see more. My daughter & I are going to be heading that way in a month or so & was wondering if you could Please tell m what you are using for filming, is it ur phone or a GoPro? The lighting just seems so good, seems to really light up a large area when you are shelling before sun comes up. I’m thinking about getting something & was wanting something that I could put on my head so my hand would be free. I need a good, dependable light that is bright, & lights up large area & I may do a little filming too. What would you recommend?
Thank you so much! For lighting I use these two headlamps interchangeably: tinyurl.com/cm45xz48 tinyurl.com/bdhyjbeb They're both great, however I've found the battery life to be a little underwhelming, so bring a spare light or batteries if you're going earlier than 3 hours before sunrise. For filming I use a Sony a6700 camera w/18-135 lens. You absolutely don't need a camera like this to do some filming (phone will do just fine), but I bought it for photography which is another one of my hobbies, so I shoot my videos with it too. Happy shelling and I hope you find tons of awesome stuff!
It's a colloquial term used to describe an extinct species of echinoderm (a type of sea urchin). This species is extinct and the beach found specimens are millions of years old. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
In NC they're usually mossy arks, and they're so common I don't personally feel the need to have to pick them up every time I go. They are still a neat species though!
Great finds! Especially the murex! Lovely
Nice shelling! The surf sounds has turned this into an ASMR video. I nearly feel asleep twice, lol! Look forward to your next video.
Thank you so much! :)
I like sound of the sea in the background.
Great finds night shelling is fabulous! Add low tide too!
It really might be my favorite shelling method. Although you feel the grind after multiple days in a row! Thanks for watching :)

Hello. Would you sell a sea biscuit ?
If you really want me to, though I'm not selling anything currently. You can however buy this exact type of sea biscuit online though!
What’s a sea biscuit? Never heard of them before. I live in Illinois.

you skipped all the turkey wings.
In NC they're usually mossy arks, and they're so common I don't personally feel the need to have to pick them up every time I go. They are still a neat species though!
Where at Holden was this?
West of the pier. Thanks for watching :)
Yeah, would you sell a sea biscuit?
I'm not selling anything at the moment, but if a lot of people request that its certainly a possibility. Thanks for coming along!
@@shellstories Thank you, I understand.
@brendagroff8478 You can get this exact species of sea biscuit online from other sources, just search up "sea biscuits for sale" :)
