Woooo! This is awesome feedback - I have enjoyed moving the focus of this content to the experience overall and less of the fringe. Thanks so much for watching!
...have never enjoyed your videos more than watching you get soaked by rogue waves...lol...has happened to me numerous times in the past. Thanx for counting me in as one of your friends...means alot!
Beautiful video and the color of the water is amazing. I used to live in Palm Beach and really wish I had spent more time shelling, there are so many treasures out there
Oh my gosh! Here you are in my neck of the woods again. My home town. Inspiring me to get out and get to my own beaches. Amazing finds! I just want to cry thinking how wrapped up I get in my busy life working and home. Get out, wherever you are, take a breath, enjoy whatever you find out there. Thank you for this reminder. 🤗😘🐚🐚🐚🐚
Hello! Totally agree with you, to make time to get out there and enjoy the beautiful ocean when you can! Glad the content helps keep that reminder for you!
I absolutely love watching you shell. I can’t believe you found 3 Lion’s Paws. My bucket list shell for sure. I live on the West coast I do have many gorgeous shells, but n Lion’s Paw as of yet. One day I’m sure one will find me.
You will absolutely find one someday! You can also find them on Florida's SW coast, but it's a little less common in that area. Thank you for watching!
I watch a lot of shelling videos, but I must say that yours are truly exceptional. It is not just the shells that you find, but the entire presentation. You capture some of the most beautiful scenery as a backdrop to your shelling --very artistic presentation. I also appreciate the soothing music and the oppportunity to look along with you as you show the shell piles in such a way that we can see and search as well. I like the fact that you pick up a wide variety of shells and give us the names on screen so that we can learn what they are. Finally, as someone else mentioned in their comments, I like not having constant chit-chat in the background. So peaceful to watch and learn. My favorite show was the one that you taped in Maine. Lovely. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Thank you for such wonderful and thoughtful feedback. I do work hard to make this content distinct to everything else that's available in this genre on TH-cam. So, it's really feedback like this that allows me to so thoroughly enjoy what I do with this channel and to also continue always growing as a content creator. Again, thank you!
Love your videos….. makes me so wish I were there also. So very peaceful and restful and the shells that you find are just spectacular. Thank you as always for sharing your wonderful adventures……..
Heyo! Love your channel. We are heading to the east coast of Florida next spring in our travel trailer, though now quite as far south as you are here. Hope we are lucky enough to find a Lion's Paw. It's on our bucket list.
That gigantic moon snail, the naticas, the lions paw, the helmet. Wow. Just amazing. The water is blue and the beaches are so clean. Hope it stays like this always. Thanks for this beautiful video. Sending you lots of love from India.
Ohhh my gosh that huge shark eye moon snail. So beautiful. Love the way you captured the shadow of you shelling. Every video an amazing adventure. Love them!
What an absolutely lovely video. It was interesting to see so many SE coast shells. Many were new to me. Gorgeous shots of the ocean and so many shells! Thank you!
𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗜𝗗 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: The Natica shown at 6:53 I believe is actually a "𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘢". I have struggled to properly identify this Natica ever since I found it.

I wish I was on this beach. These shells are spectacular!!! I live near Orlando, don't get to the beach very often. Thanks for sharing your shelling experience.
This video has me seriously thinking about a trip to Florida soon! I wouldn’t have been able to walk away from all those small bittersweet clams….and to find a lions paw. Definitely bucket list!
Hello! I must say, I am not often disappointed shelling on the west coast of Florida(it's pretty consistently awesome!). FL east coast can often be hit or miss...but when it's good, it's good! Thanks for watching!
Awesome finds! I've heard many people say there's no shells on the east coast but that's clearly not the case. That shark eye and hawkwing conch were killer! Not to mention all the lion's paws! Have you ever found one on the west coast of FL? They seem so much rarer there than on the east. That queen helmet was awesome too! Interestingly, I've found one on Sanibel that was broken the exact same way as yours was. I wonder if it was from the same predator. Happy shelling!
I have found that there can be shells virtually anywhere, you just have to go at the right times and have a little luck on your side! 😂. Honestly though, some of the places that promise the most shells can sometimes disappoint, and some of the places you never expected to be great, are phenomenal. I have actually never found a HW on the WC of Florida, though I think someone found one recently in the 10k islands from an IG post I saw. I have only found them on FL east coast and in the Caribbean(lots in the Caribbean!) Happy shelling to you too, and thanks for watching!
OMG!!! Turned into this video and found that you were wearing the exact same shorts that I own! I froze the video and ran and put my shorts on so that we could go shelling in the same attire! We were lookalikes for a little while...you look better in your shorts, though; or was it the 4K? Who really knows....lol!!!!
Hi friend, this is super cool, lol! This was actually a few years ago, so I am not sure I still have these shorts but I'll have to look! Thanks for watching again, in 4K!
Hello! This was actually filmed last March! Whenever I am able to make a trip somewhere, I try to get as much content as I possibly can, organize it, and then schedule uploads so that everything stays varied! I parked right across the street from Juno Pier for this video! Thanks for watching!
Your Atlantic hairy triton is the first I’ve seen in a Florida shelling video, I found one last week here in Navarre slightly larger than the ones you found but with less color. Must be the winter bringing them onto the beach?
I have actually found a few of them on FL east coast, though I will admit they are a more uncommon find! I really want to get up to the panhandle to do some shelling! There's some great shelling channels focused in that region - this area also seems to produce some of the same shells you can find on FL east coast! Thanks for watching!
I love it when you go to that Beach! I know the video is short but how long do you really spend out there? I would want to be there the whole day. Just gorgeous! Of course I laughed when you got soaking wet LOL. At least it's not the 50° water like we have over here on the Pacific coast in Oregon. That water gives you a shock that takes your breath away.
Hello! On any extended beach hike, I am usually out before sunrise(or at least try to be). I will sometimes hike at least a couple miles(if where I am at is a longer stretch of beach), but sometimes it's nice to stay put in one spot and snorkel for beach treasures! I make sure to bring plenty of water, sunscreen and snacks with me! I was in the Pacific NW recently(Olympic National Park) for a visit... maybe next time I'll get some content there! Thanks for watching!
I love your channel! I have a quick question, when I search through Wikipedia's page of the Natica Genus neither the Natica Floridana nor the Natica Cayennensis come up. When I google them several websites say the genus is "unaccepted" but I can't find what that means. If you do know, would you mind explaining it?
Hello, great question! So I found out that the Florida Natica is more commonly accepted as 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳𝘪. One of my old shell book references listed it as Natica floridana. It can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natica_tedbayeri Thanks for watching!
@@solaceinshelling6552 oh awesome, thank you so much! Funny how one shell can be known by several names. Anyway, keep up the good work! I love your videos!
North palm is a wide area also. There should be specific beach names. Or if you can put up a map and show us on a map would be cool. I want to drive to these beaches but you're not telling us where😭 sorry it's driving me crazy lol
We were at John D MacArthur beach state park one day and it has piles of shells on it in certain areas, just have to walk down the beach. It was beautiful! It is paid I think $5 per vehicle?? I want to go back for more shelling there. Just one location I know of if that helps!
That water color is fabulous! I enjoy your videos so much.
My favorite shelling channel. I appreciate the sights, sounds and subtle identification without the idle chit-chat. Thanks!

Beautiful shells! Thankyou!
Beautiful!
Beautiful video and the color of the water is amazing. I used to live in Palm Beach and really wish I had spent more time shelling, there are so many treasures out there
This area of Florida is literally one of my favorite places.
Thanks for watching!
Lion's Paw is my bucket list find, good grief you found 2. I need a beach vacation! Beautiful ocean and an abundance of shells.
Thank you very much for watching!
Good video! Thank you!

Hello and thank you so much for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous blue water and stunning shell haul. Thanks for sharing.
Ohhh my gosh that huge shark eye moon snail. So beautiful. Love the way you captured the shadow of you shelling. Every video an amazing adventure. Love them!
Thank you for another amazing shelling video, and for the excellent quality of all of your videos!
Thank you so much for watching - I appreciate your feedback!
These are fabulous! The giant shark eye, the baby tritons, the lions paw, the queen helmet, the water....
I need to get to the east coast! Beautiful!
FL East coast has it's own unique beauty that's different to the FL West coast - but I truly love both! Thanks for watching!
Those Bittersweet got nothing on the Calico Scallops- I’d snatch up all those Orange ones- 😎✌️
What an absolutely lovely video. It was interesting to see so many SE coast shells. Many were new to me. Gorgeous shots of the ocean and so many shells! Thank you!
Hello friend, thank you so much for watching!
I could watch you shell forever! How relaxing❤️ And what amazing finds on this video…looking forward to your next video
Hello! Thank you so much for watching, and I appreciate you looking forward to the next one!
Wow amazing finds…I wish I lived by the ocean 🌊 That blue water😍 Thank you!!!

Use a fishing net to scoop the shells out next time ☺️
Another great video! Merry Christmas and happy shelling!

Beautiful shells. But never stand with your back to the surf.....😋
You found some amazing shells this time. I've got to confess I laughed when the wave cought you 😂🌊
Was it cold.
Refreshing actually! thanks so much for watching!

@@solaceinshelling6552 Thank you for responding with great information. I figured it was probably in the winter. Happy shelling in 2022!
