SHELLING IN A STORM - Arctic, Cold Water SHELL haul

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ธ.ค. 2022
- Nor’easter's are storms that occur along the eastern coasts of the US and Canada, and are called "Nor'easter's" because the winds over the coastal area are typically from the northeast. Nor'easter storms are most frequent between September and April.
Come along on this adventure while I attempt to document shell collecting during a Nor'easter storm - we will be out shelling during the storm itself, and in the 2 - 3 days that follow the storm. Boy, do we find some shelly goodies!
Brrrrrr... thank you for venturing out.. while we were inside. Love the arctic shells..
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for taking us. U go many places that most of us will never go and those beautiful perfect shells. They are a miracle. One of God’s…..
Thanks for watching!
The blue shells are so beautiful. Some awesome finds. I liked the lovely rocks too. Thanks!
Hello friend, thanks so much for coming along on the beach adventure!
Love all those Blue colored and tinted shells !! Great colors !!
Hello friend! These shells are all beautiful indeed.
I appreciate your viewership!
Colors are incredible to see. Great trip and well worth it
Hi friend, thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful video. I love your videos because you always show us different shells. Thank you!
Hi friend, I always try to keep the content varied, so I appreciate your feedback.
Thank you so much for watching!
...so glad that you put yourself out in all that coldness to search for such beautiful finds! Thanx for letting me tag along and, also, I purchased, as an Xmas present to me; a 43" LG 4K TV to replace the 32" I had over my desk in my office where I watch all these adventures. You, coming over in 4K is awesome and now I really feel that I am right there with you...with my cup of cocoa...lol...!!!!!🤟
Hi friend! Ooooh, I am in 4k! I film almost everything in 4K, so now you can see it for what it was meant to look like! 😀
I’m obsessed with the scallop shells!! Allllll of them!!! But wow Iceland Scallop shells are gorgeous!!!
Hi friend! There are 3 types of scallops that can be found in the waters of the Gulf of Maine... The Deepsea Scallop, the Atlantic Bay Scallop, and the Iceland Scallop - they are all pretty and uniquely ornate. But yeah, the Iceland's are really nice!
Thanks for coming along!
Very nice finds! Shelling after a storm never gets old!
Hello dear friend! Storm shelling is always a NEW and great adventure whether it's in Florida or Maine, haha!
Thanks for watching!
I’m so happy & grateful how you transport us to your awesome shell hunting trips!! You are so blessed to be able to do it!! From Kentucky!!🙌🏻🦋
Hello there in Kentucky! I do try to create a transformative experience with this content - thanks for noticing!
And thank you for watching!
As always you provide us with great views of interesting places to shell and uncommon finds. I think when you brave cold and winds to shell hunt you have elevated yourself to a true shellunatic! Love it! I enjoy seeing the shell fragments to to a peek out what has traveled to the beach, without those fragments one would never know what has made a journey which makes it all the more exciting when you do find an uncommon shell intact. Thanks for taking us along! 😎
Hello! Interesting points you make - the first day of this storm in the rain downpour was a bit of a challenge, but I have had the idea to "document" a full storm on this channel for some time - I am happy with how the story was told!
Thank you so much for coming along!
@@solaceinshelling6552 So are u ready to be shelling with this storm (Diaz) that started here on the West Coast and hitting the Northeast? I wish I could send u some video of what was like a sandstorm we had here in northern San Diego County - basically had to walk parallel to the ground and brace yourself for the sand and gale force wind - yeah I'm a little obsessed getting down to the beach 😄 shell on!
Love the blues in these shells! Even the broken shells are still pretty in their color and variety. Love those nothern shells!

Hi friend, northern shells are amazing!
Thanks for coming along!
Another amazing video. Through your videos I've come to appreciate the cold water shells since they are not as colorful as the Florida shells. But they have a beauty all their own that I appreciate now. I love the Iceland scallops! And thanks for highlighting the rocks at the end--I love rocks also!
Hi friend! So funny that you mention the color of shells here - I have some super colorful shells from Maine and Canada that can rival some of my most colorful shells from Florida, haha! Iceland Scallops in general are usually VERY colorful(pink, red, purple and even orange), but most of the ones found in the Gulf of Maine are the dark blue color because they were sitting in hypoxic(low oxygen) sediment for a period of time.
I have read that variations in color and pattern in shells in warm/tropical latitudes, are due to the greater diversity of food sources in tropical waters. I am very happy to see that many of my viewers have notated the beauty and variety of ocean creatures that exists in the colder regions of the ocean, like Maine!
Thanks so much for watching!
That Greenland cockle 😍 never seen any thing like it. The ladder whelk is super cool as well. Loved the blues and blacks. Those Iceland scallops to. Awesome finds for sure!! Beautiful video as always 🙂
Hi friend, it seems like you like the Arctic shells! Greenland Cockles are not typically found here in Maine, so I have been super excited to be able to find some after the recent storms here.
Thanks for watching!
Great variety! Thanks for pointing out the difference between shells that look very similar.
Hi friend, thank you for watching!
Thank You so much for taking us Down East Maine! Most of us Westerners (I'm in Sacramento, CA) hear/see very little of Maine; it's always a treat for me when you go shelling in Maine (actually anywhere, but Maine is so interesting and beautiful). My favorite shell you found, hmmm, it's tough, I love them all, but I would say the Neptune, Iceland Scallop, and of course, the Moonsnail. Thanks again, I always look forward to your vids ❤️ 🐚 oh, and the Fall Colors were gorgeous!
This was a beautiful video! So many interesting shells. Thank you so much for being so informative
Hi friend, thanks for the great feedback!
I appreciate your viewership!
Cool finds! Love the scallops and that limpet
Hi friend! Yes, you noticed the limpet! They are so difficult to find in Maine, so it was a treat!
Thanks for watching!
I would pick up all the blue shells.i love the color.
Loved all your finds in this video. The interior of the shell at 7:18 is gorgeous. I know it’s probably just pitting, but it looks like a constellation. Beautiful!
Hello! It sure is gorgeous! This is an Arctic Wedge Clam and that shell was probably sitting in hypoxic sediment for a period of time before being washed up by the surf.
Thank you so much for watching!

I love all the blues and dark shells. I live in southern New Jersey and got into shell picking more last year. We get half and half some dark some light but the dark ones are very cool nice finds!
Hi friend! The darker blues, grays and blacks on shells like this are most often a result of that shell sitting in sediment that is hypoxic(low in, or lacking oxygen) for a period of time. Then, wave action will cast the shells onto the beach!
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy your videos!😊
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful shells.
Thanks for watching, friend!
Thanks for sharing, would be nice is you carried a little bucket of water and washed the shells off so we can get a better look at the sea shells, Most people will most likely never see these in their lifetime!🙂🙂🙂
Hi friend, thanks for the great feedback! I am often hiking some distances on beaches, so it may be difficult to carry a bucket with me, but I do like the idea! Often, when I "show" my finds at the end of the video, they are all sandy so this is a nifty idea 😀
Thanks for taking us along.!!!!!
Wonderful shell collection from the Nor'easter, especially the arctic scallops. So glad you held up one of those beautiful rocks...hard to pass up some of those beautiful small rocks along the way.
I don't know if one is allowed to take rocks...small ones? Really enjoy all your videos...yes, it's like a great adventrue,
Hi friend! I have tried to incorporate stones into my content as often as possible. I don't know if it's illegal to remove stones from the beach...though I do know there are some locations in Maine where removing stones from the beach IS explicitly prohibited). With that said, any time anything is removed from a natural environment, the risk of disturbing the ecosystem is present. These stones stayed on the beach, but looked great on the camera!
Thank you so much for coming along!
This was perfection ... combining my favorite place in the world (Maine) with one of my favorite activities (storm shelling)! Such a fun collection ... love the beautiful dark artic shell varieties!
Hi friend, those are two of my favorite things as well! 😀
Thank you so much for coming along!
The bag load of goodies
Hi! Had some trouble with my computer....turned it on the other morning and got the "blue screen"....ugh! Had to take it in and get in repaired; but am back now and waiting to see a new and exciting adventure! ...So....where is it?....lol...MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hi friend! I got a brand new adventure coming VERY soon - stay tuned!
Do u sell any of ur collection? I would love that Iceland scallop! Great video ! Like I have said in the past u go alllll over the place!!!! Love it!!
Hi friend! At this moment in time I am not selling any of my collection. I have been living between two different locations this year, so it's been a challenge simply finding proper storage for my collection. I may consider doing so in the future, so stay tuned as always!
Have you thought of putting a plastic container in your bag for delicatec shells?
Beautiful haul! I have collected shells for years from Bermuda, NC & FL gulf islands. I live in NY state, not a long trip to Maine. I’d love to do some cold water shell collecting in Maine. Do you have a recommendation for easy access Maine beaches where I could plan a trip? I usually travel to a Maine in October & the cold doesn’t bother me! Thank you!
Hi friend, there are so many great places to shell in Maine! Some of my favorite places are Biddeford Pool, Old Orchard Beach(especially after stormy weather), Peaks Island(Casco Bay), Popham Beach(Midcoast), and Jasper Beach(Downeast Maine). This is by no means an exhaustive list, but that should get you started on the journey to find some great Maine treasures!
Love the rocks and shells. Where did you get the bag? Thanks from down under.
HI friend! One of my close friends gifted me the mesh bag when I started my channel a couple years ago. I believe the maker is "SunSport Canvas"... here's a link: sunsportcanvas.com/
Thanks for watching!
@@solaceinshelling6552 thank you.
Can you please share where you are shelling. Love your videos but would really be great to identify with area🦋❣🐚🐚🐚🌊
Hi friend, this location is in southern Maine, Cape Elizabeth area(south of Casco Bay).
Thank you very much for watching my content!
Are you in Maine?
Hi friend, yes this is Maine - southern Maine, south of Casco Bay.
Thank you so much for watching this content!
@@solaceinshelling6552 I'm up in Millinocket!! Small world. Kinda.😁
The blue in the shells is down right magical. And those scallops with the "micro" ventricle lines AWESOME!
Hi friend! I do find it interesting too, when shells appear with the dark blue stains - they can be found like this all over the eastern coast of the US - from Maine, to Cape Hatteras NC, to Florida.
Thanks for watching!
@@solaceinshelling6552 Ohhh I meant to say "Verticle" lines not ventricle lol. I never really found shells when I was in North Carolina. It's on my bucket list to get to Plum Island though. Some day 👍
@@kimberlyaustin6677 Plum Island is a unique location, for sure! You may know already, but @PlumIslandSeaCabin is based at that location and her content is 🔥!
I'll also be returning to Plum Island soon, in an upcoming episode!
@@solaceinshelling6552 Yes I do know 😉 I subscribe to her too. Can't wait to see your video from PI 😀👍
