Shelling in the North Carolina Outer Banks!

Today I am back shelling on Hatteras Island in the North Carolina Outer Banks! Today I am once again exploring the southern facing shore of the island, from Frisco towards Cape Hatteras. Let's see what shells I can find!

The Outer Banks is one of my favorite places to shell. Makes me want to go shelling now ❤

[@tamravarda4161]

This is inspiring me to go shelling when I get to outer banks next week….thank you for the education, now I will have some idea what I picking up. I have never learned any of the names but appreciate viewing them all!

What a great find of different shells

[@shellstories]

Thank you so much for watching :) Seeing those piles was something else!

[@delmaalberti5721]

First time seeing one of your videos. Loved it. Small pleasures in life r the best.

[@shellstories]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@davidstanley9543]

I'm going to Nags Head in August. This video is definitely getting me prepped to do some shell picking. 🐚 Thanks.

[@SherryNerreau]

Love the Outer Banks and enjoyed seeing shells I didn't know they had there. Fun video!

[@shellstories]

Thank you so much! There are some areas in the Outer Banks that can be quite fruitful actually. Thanks for watching! :)

[@angelisa368]

So many scallop shells! My favorites!

[@shellstories]

I love 'em too!

[@gaylescovel7308]

I think those broken welks make great rock garden additions!! You got a good assortment especially those giant sharkeyes. Babyears too!

[@shellstories]

I would have to agree, but they are too bulky to travel all the way back home. We did actually find a bunch of intact ones after a storm, just I haven't been able to edit those videos yet as I like to go in chronological order, and I just haven't gotten there yet. Thanks for watching :)

[@fatherandsonsfishing]

Great finds, especially those two intact Scotch Bonnets that late in the morning! Lots of footsteps near where you found them so it goes to show you have a keen eye!

[@shellstories]

Thank you! Agreed, there were loads of footsteps. I'm surprised I found what I did. That shell pile was something else!

[@SWFBeachLife]

Nice scotch bonnets! And how awesome that there's so many baby ears down there! That big one your found was huge! And crazy you found a piece of tun all the way up in the Carolinas. Fun finds - thank you for sharing!

[@shellstories]

Thank you! Tun shells are actually quite common up north, but are so darn fragile they just almost always fall apart. I couldn't believe all those baby ears, and the bonnets were nice surprises!

[@lauram5195]

Wow fun trip! I love the scotch bonnets and the baby’s ears. Great video as always. 🤗🐚🐚🐚🐚

[@shellstories]

Thanks as always for the support!

[@DeborahHiggins-iu7hv]

Thanks for reminding me about the name of the scotch bonnet

[@billrobbins5874]

Not living near a place known for shelling. Like even some of the broken shells. Amazing to get a look at how they are internally. Wow, BIG shark eyes. Blustery weather! ♥️👍♥️

[@DeborahHiggins-iu7hv]

So miss shelling in Avon, North Carolina

[@user-xd1gt9if2v]

Oh yeah those shells but if you want bonnets or welk or conch shells you gotta know where to go

[@debbiewedoe2564]

Nice haul. Thanks for sharing. 🏝️

[@shellstories]

Thanks!

[@hellofromUSA062]

Thank you for picking up scallops and the broken whelks. I would do the same and no one else I watch does so so thank you!!!! Your vids are great...love from land-locked TN!!

[@shellstories]

Thank you so much! It was one of my first outings in NC so I was still just kind of picking up everything (LOL). Thanks for the kind words and for watching! :)

[@moniquekessel4413]

I pick up broken shells to,still beautiful to me😍🥰😁

[@shellstories]

Sometimes I cant pass up the broken stuff either :)

[@jennm2611]

Did you walk North or South from ramp 49 to get to the large shell beds?

[@shellstories]

It was actually east. The alignment of the beach is more east-west than north-south.

[@shannon3295]

what beach is this?

[@skylarsartnphotography3450]

I think its Buxton?

[@io_55]

I love your vid!!🐚🌊🖤
P.s I have a problem with my TH-cam account, so it's been restored, but all the comments have been deleted.😮‍💨👋

[@shellstories]

Thanks for watching anyway! :)

[@heatherloy8364]

Did you go after a storm?

[@shellstories]

This actually was a few days before a storm. The currents around Cape Hatteras are very strong, and piles of shells often come without any storm influence.

[@DawnPalmer55]

Why do you throw the shells you don’t want? You never know if someone else might find beauty in it and want to collect it.

[@florida_shelling]

After a while you stop collecting everything. when i started collecting years ago, i picked up EVERYTHING and omgish. I had so much and no where to put them! LOL still hard not to still putt everything it in the bag through!
