    4:35 , to the right and down from your hand, white horse conch
    4:53, top right corner cone
    9:05, to the right middle babies ear
    14:17, very top middle and to the right is an alphabet cone (you can see the spiraling cone top the best)
    21:51, top middle slightly to the right horse conch
    I'm glad you're feeling much better! I can hear it in your voice!❤

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      9:05 is perhaps a baby's ear - but it could also be an eastern slippersnail
      I absolutely did miss 2 alphabet cones but I don't think you named them. I figure I can't find them all and I bet those shells made someone else's day!

    How wonderful of a trip for you, Sharmon and what a treasure trove. So glad for you. Thanks for sharing all these beauties God made. It just stuns me to see all these amazing shells in such a volume. Not used to that since the heavy surf breaks so many of our west coast shells to bits. This is the stuff of dreams. So glad you can actually experience it and that you share it with the rest of us. Those shells were all so good I don't think I can pick a favorite. God bless your week!

      I was chatting with one of the other people on the boat ride back to the marina that I hope I never, ever get used to this area being so beautiful and having such great shells. I know I'm spoiled, but I want to always apprecite how amazing it is to live here!

    What a haul!!! I started watching your videos at the beginning of covid, having known nothing about shells and because your voice reminded me of my recently passed aunt’s voice. I can now proudly say that I can name them off every time you pick one up and dream of the day I can go to Kice myself (my favourite beach of yours) and shell properly for the first time. The lace murex are my ❤ shell but I love them all as you do. I eagerly await your weekly videos, thank you for spending the time to share.

    Soooo many shells. Wow, I would love to be there. I was at Pass-a-Grille this past Saturday and there were large rack lines but just common shells. We did see parts of lightning whelks.

    Kice is Nice, Indeed!! I am anxious to get down to the Texas coast, but the best place for shelling involves a 25 mile drive that only a 4x4 vehicle can make, and sometimes even in my little SUV, which handles loose sand like a champ, it’s a little dicey in places. I haven’t been yet because it’s just been too hot to camp, but it’s remote and not a lot of people get out there, so I imagine there’s still plenty of shells out there. Definitely not SWFL quality shelling, but it’s still pretty cool.

    Thank you for mentioning about deadly cone shells. Any other dangerous critters in shells? Other specific information for those of us who only get to the ocean every few years? Love your shell videos that take me back to the beach!.

      Shuffle when you go in shallow water to alert the sting rays, just in case. Don't touch cat fish, or anything that you don't know what it is actually. There really isn't much here that can hurt you, but if you don't know what it is I would leave it alone. That rule has kept me safe so far!

    HERE’S AN IDEA:
    What if you got a puppy cart or a kitten cart that you would push around your pets with to keep your shells in so you don’t have to carry the heavy shells when you find the bigger ones.
    The closest I am to a beach and getting some shells is Temu. I had to go online and order some shells.

      Carrying my loot is probably the easiest method, but a wheel barrel would be welcome on some trips 😂
      I sell some of my shells on Etsy - I’m on vacation right now but the store will open again on Monday when I’m home.

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would imagine some of the stumps are indeed mangroves, as well as trees that can't tolerate salt water, so they eventually died. I tell you what - those tiny stumps can be quite dangerous. My toes hurt for a few days after my time on the island!

      If you wanted to have a long, private experience you'd have to either rent a boat or talk to one of the tour companies about hiring them for the day.
