Wow,alot of nice shells
Thanks for coming along!
Thank you for your video. I enjoy walking beaches myself and collecting. The casing looks like a 50 cal and the 43 typically is the year it is manufactured. I have several large casings from my grandfather's ship that he captained during WWII. They are stamped 42 and 43. Thank you I do appreciate the hard work that you put into your videos.
Thanks for the info. I didn't know a lot about the casing.
MORE,MORE ,MORE!!!😇🥰😇
🫶🐚🤗
The walk at the end of this video was stunning. Thank you for sharing your beautiful shells, sunsets and beaches with us. I hope to experience it for myself someday, but until that time comes, I’m glad I found your videos to enjoy it virtually.
So glad to have you along for the beautiful sunset beach walk! 🌊🌅👣🐚
Beautiful shells!!! Thank guys! 🙏💜😎
Thanks for taking a beach walk with us! 🌊👣🐚
You guys are awesome to watch, you two remind me so of my husband and I back in the day!!! He died of ALS years ago. I'm up in the cold North, Canada and really miss my trips down south with my sweetie, years ago. We were so much like you! Thanks for bringing me along!!! I absolutely LOVE IT!

Yall are so awesome!! Those Murex are beautiful, especially that second one. You leave Steph alone Oliver! Shell hoarders can't help themselves, right Steph. We get on the beach and we are in our element. I love it when you guys go at each other. So funny sometimes. Makes me miss doing the same thing with my husband for 30 + yrs who I lost to cancer 3 yrs ago but precious memories. Don't ever stop. Keep doing all the things you do together! It's low country precious!!!! That barrier island is so much like the north end of Jeremy Cay across from Botany Bay . Love it!
Weren't those murex SOMETHING!?! 🤩🫠 Yeah, he knows ... I want to see everything (and now ... show yall everything) 😁👀👉🐚🪼🪸🦀 so it's really kinda his fault, since he is the one usually that wants to take us all shelling! 🤪😂 Then he has to rush me on the beach! 🙄 Thanks for coming along for the beach bickering. 😆 Hope we bring back lots of your own precious Salty Reflections of those days you spent together. 🙏

Yes! So fun! 😱🐚😍 Thanks for coming along! 👣🌊
I’m like Steph. I just keep walking and looking when we go to North Carolina. My husband always reminds me the sun is going down, and I keeps looking
The struggle is real! It is hard to leave a good treasure hunt! 🌊👣🐚🧐
LOVE THOSE MUREX SHELLS!!!
IKR!?! 🤩🐚🤩🐚
You had me laughing this morning watch you two. 🌞❤️🌞
Enjoyed my coffee even more this morning with you.
I think you two need a second wagon 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love watching. Someday I hope to find those lucky locations for a day of shelling.
I hope so! 🫶🌊👣🐚
I love going shelling virtually with you two. I really needed that love to see the beautiful ocean and sunset God created
Our pleasure! Hope you are having a good day today! 🙏
I am having a better day. One part of my heart is getting better but my other part hasn’t. I’m battling to get insurance
I envy y’all so much. Love your videos.❤
Glad you like them!
That is a great idea we would really feel like we were right there with you
😁🚶🏼♀️☺️🚶🥵👣🐚👣
I’ve been watching you guys from the start but I’m going to do a binge watch all of your videos again starting with the early days
Awe, thank you! Hopefully, we'll have lots of fun hanging together! ☺️🌊🤗
I’m like Stephanie I don’t want to stop!!! Y’all are so much fun. Y’all had me cracking up, today.
The struggle is real! 😁🐚🤩
The struggle is real! 😁🐚🤩
Ty ty ty! Love watching you guys. Only wish I could be there picking those shells!
Awe, sweet! Thanks for taking a beach walk with us! 🌊👣🐚
Shells give you a platform to encourage
Yes
I Love your videos! And the Welks are gorgeous (actually, all the shells are beautiful). I grew up on the beaches of Southern California. While the beaches there are amazing, we get so few shells & not much variety. Anyway, many thanks for taking all of us along with you 😎 🐚 ⛱️
I bet you have plenty of Salty Reflections 💭🌊 to cherish from growing up on the beach! 🌊👣
What a great murax(sp).
RIGHT!?! What an awesome surprise! 😱🤩
The one that doesn't have the wagon should carry a bag til you catch up to the other, lol
Good idea! Thanks for coming along for the beach walk! 🌊 👣🐚
Oliver, That is a 50 caliber shell case, Nice find! I use to take my 3 wheeler down to Pritchards an Capers to ride the beaches an pickup alot of really nice lumber that washed up, Otter Is. was fun to explore on it also, Enjoy your video,s guys!!!
Thanks for the info! There have been others confirming the casings is 50 cal. We don't see much lumber washed up. You've got me 🤔 where it was coming from? It's a special treat to be able to explore these areas.
Great finds. Soon you'll need a bigger wagon. Maybe so you can get bigger drift wood pieces. You need a bag to carry and put things in when the other one walks off with the wagon.. lol .. Happy hunting.
😆 I can hear him saying right now - not to give me any ideas! 🙅♂️🤣 Thanks for coming along for the beach walk!
Those murexes were HUGE! And 2 of them.. amazing. Great finds. I would clean the first one, for sure. Amazing shell finds! I'm up here on Delaware beaches and we just don't have those kind of finds.
We think so, too! They are one of our favorite shells to find & to find 2 in such great condition on the same day is absolutely amazing! Thanks for coming shelling with us. Do your Delaware beaches have some treasures to find?
Thank you for all the hard work you guys do to bring us along on your wonderful walk on the beach. It brings me a peace when I watch your videos. I really appreciate it very much, You guys stay safe. Until next time.
Awe, thank you! We are so glad and grateful to be able to share the beauty. We appreciate the encouragement & kindness! 🤗
glad you guys kept going. I love those murex shells. Oliver needs some cheese with that whine lol
😆 LOL, yeah he does! 🧀
I thoroughly love walking the beach with you two! And the treasures you find are amazing! ♥️
Awe, thanks so much! We appreciate you coming along! 🌊👣🐚
Lol I always get a good belly laugh yea Oliver you better cross those fingers we know who saw it first 😂🤣
🤞😁
Try putting it in Clorox for 12 to 24 hours. It will clean up some of the dark color, but won’t harm the shell. I have a few shell I am going to try it on.
Thanks for the suggestion.
😇😇😇
🤗☺️🐚
As a child I was fond of mainly gastropods, and of course the big species, as I had only seen them as drawings in books but never for real (such as the Hamlyn Guide). Later in life I grew to appreciate bivalves more and more, and collected a very large Arcidae collection, comprising well over 1000 specimens with numerous species, also fossil ones. All doublets.
And big shells... On your video I see large Anadara brasiliana on the beach. That species does not reach 3 inches... or does it? A specimen of that size would be a super giant. Love those bivalves there on the beach.
Those big shells are hard not to love! I like to find the bi-valve pairs too! Wow! I bet your collection was AMAZING! I don't know them by their scientific names, but after looking it up, I don't think I have seen that species of ark that large, no. I'll be on the lookout now to see what are the biggest we see. Interesting! Thanks for coming along shelling with us! 🌊👣🐚
Oh my goodness the mericks is so amazingly awsome. The welcks are so beautiful. I love a beach day I dont get very many beach days because my husband will burn in a heartbeat. We live an hour from Saint Jo MI. We go for the art shows and to see the sunsets but no oceans near us. We live in Indiana. So no shelling for us but I would shell as often as I could. Love the sounds of the ocean it relaxes me so much. Thank you so much for all your shelling videos. What a beautiful day.
I would have shel look s all around my house as well. The sanddollars are so beautiful.
Wow the whelk and murix are so big.
Do you or will you put the murix on sale. I would love to purchase one of the big ones. Just let me know what you might do. Please and thank you
They are some shell casings I do believe. I cannot remember what shells they are.
Glad we could bring a little bit of beach time & shelling to Indiana to you! I probably won't list the murex. Sorry. 🙅🏼♀️ I am too much of a shell hoarder, I know.🤦🏼♀️ But you're right, they are amazing! 🤩So I can't part with them ... maybe one day. Thank you for coming along for the adventure! 🌊👣🐚
Please don’t stop
Thanks for coming along for another adventure! 🌊👣🐚
Love those giant murex shells! Maybe just try bleach to clean them up a little. I would be afraid the acid would eat them up. If you do clean them, please give us another peek at them after. Boy I bet you slept good that night. Any time out in the fresh air and sunshine does that to me.
Us too - love them! Yes ma'am, any day out on the water will wear you out! 🥵😴
Those giant murex shells are unmistakable, even from a distance! I did soak mine in straight bleach because it had soaked in some dark dirt/minerals. Like yours, it was an older shell that had been degraded a bit by age and a boring sponge--kind of looked a little like cement. Normally I soak my knobbed whelk shells for 24 hours, but because I was so nervous about the murex, I checked on it about every couple hours, and removed it probably after 8. ...just in case you want to clean yours. Anyway, you have quite a beach there! Your knobbed whelks are much pointier than I see them here in FL. The ones I find have likely been rolling around longer! Yours are very pretty! Thanks for the videos!
Thanks so much for sharing the info. We appreciate you coming along for the beach walk! 🌊 👣🐚
The cartridge casing the S L 43 for st Louis probably 50 cal...I think that is how there system works...
Thanks for the info! We've had others tell us they're 50 cal.
I’ve missed the beach adventures lately, but so glad to see y’all again! Always fun to see what you guys find and experience a fine SC beach. There’s nothing like ‘um! Thanks so much and Blessings to y’all 🕊
Thanks so much for coming along! We are glad to share a fun beach day treasure hunt! 🌊👣🐚
I would be a shellaholic...I only make it to Florida once a year though.
It is a shell of a problem. 😉🐚 Where is your favorite FL spot?
If I lived near a beach I would be a shell alcoholic too.
It is a fun hobby!
A long time ago I tried using muratic acid and it ate through the shells. They weren't in it very long. Don't use it anymore. Just use a toothbrush and a little dish detergent. I used a liquid wax to shine them up. Worked very well. Have you ever found a shell that has grown different? Guess they call them Freaks. I don't like that term. I have found about 6 shells that grown differently. Really like them!
We have found a few anomalies. I have heard that about the acid. 😵 It makes me nervous, especially since I don't usually do anything other than leave them natural. 😬🫣
Ask Oliver if he wants some cheese to go with that 🍷😂😂
🤪 I sure will! 😂🤣
Love you 2!!!! Fun to watch the way you interact with each other♡♡♡♡♡ Is it possible to buy some of your beautiful finds????
Thank you! We do list a few beach find items in our eBay store or you may reach out to us directly (links in video description). 🤗🐚
When do yall get to start shrimping
The season opens again in late May/ early June.
I’m so thankful you are shell aholics and share on you tube I love listening to you guys talk and hunt
🤣 We will talk to ya! 🗣🗣🗣
SLOW DOWN OLIVER
Lol.!!!
😆🏃
Your feet are moving pretty fast 💨
🏃
I said you needed another wagon for him 🐱🐱
You did! He still says no. 🫣 😆
At 3:30 some nice Busycon carica indeed, nice orange aperture. Known since the late Pliocene in SC and NC. Maybe also fossils wash up on the shore as well. i would refrain from using the acid, but that is only my choice. It is not so good for the shell surface texture. At 9:00 a whelk with corals on it... are there such corals today? or could those be from an ancient reef long gone (Pleistocene, Pliocene?)
Yes, wasn't it a beauty!? I love those orange apertures. 🧡🐚 We have thought of using acid on some to see the results, but I haven't yet for the fear that it will damage them. 😬🫣 So we just leave them natural. We find this type of coral here regularly, but I'm not sure really how old it would be or how to tell. Thanks for coming along for the adventure & for sharing your knowledge!
Do you take people on shell tours?
No, sorry, we don't have the certifications required to do so for our area. Thanks for joining along with us shelling virtually, though. 🌊👣🐚
KEEP GOING!!!!! KEEP GOING!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STEPHANIE AND Cry baby Oliver lol
😆😪
you need more than one wagon
Oliver said "No Way!" 😆
How far do you walk when you are looking for shells?
Our shell walks vary in distance. They can be up to 4 miles. They're a great way for us to get some exercise.
How long does it take for the spikes to fall off of the sea urchins? I found one the other day !
Awesome! Once it is dried out, the spines will come off fairly easily with very light pressure if you wish to remove them.
Love to go along with you. I am a Beach baby
Thanks for coming along for another adventure! Beach days are good for you, even virtually! 😉🌊👣🐚
Do you ever allow anyone to go shelling with you? We come to South Carolina usually once a year on vacation from Arkansas. Long drive but worth it.
Sorry, no, we don't, we are not licensed to do so. But we have thought about it, so maybe ... one day. From Arkansas, that is a long drive! Glad to take you for virtual trips until you get back to the SC coast yourself! 🤗🌊👣🐚
I don't know why some shells turn black?
We think it is from the black pluff mud in our area.
how do we see the older videos
Go to our channel page and click where it says videos.
I've never found a big whelk. envious
They are amazing! We are obsessed with them! 😍🐚🤩🐚 Thanks for taking a beach walk with us! 🌊 👣🐚
