It makes me LOL when you show your mark in the sand … again LOL … you really don’t want to miss anything. I really love your videos, I always learn something with each video.
I look forward to your videos every week. I could watch you for hours. Thank you for being such a great teacher and for your great sense of humour.
I think my favorites are the colorful calico scallops. You just never know what colors or patterns will be on it. Beautiful shell finds. Can't wait to watch the continuation video. Thank you. 🐚
Always a wonderful day to go to the beach with YOU...and Kice, the lovely Kice. Breathtaking, all the gorgeous shells. Thank you so much for these lovely videos !!!!
I live so far from a beach and your videos just make my day. My best beach find was a nautilus and I love shelling. Give me a spring low tide and I'm a very happy person!
You FOUND a nautilus? Amazing!!!
Thanks as always from Toronto. I love all the little shells. The pink tip on the lace murex was soo beautiful! Since you mentioned the pen shells - I gave a presentation this week at a senior's apartment complex about my Florida shells. Showed some of the differences between west and east coast. Told several stories, including the $25 pen shells for sale at the Bancroft Gemboree! Also showed my shell flowers, pendants, earrings, wreaths, mosaics and sculptures. I gave a talk and handout about mollusks, comparing gastropod bodies to humans, trying to help people appreciate them more. They are important ecosystem engineers. If you like I'd be happy to send some pictures. Thanks again for your wonderful videos. Janet
Wow, I wish I had been a fly on the wall there ! That is wonderful of you to do that for others !. I too, have done some of that for VBS. I compare the mollusk bodies to our tongues, cuticles, many similarities !. Kids ask me amazing questions. Alot of people in the Midwest know almost nothing. Except they all have heard you can hear the ocean in a shell. I sometimes face paint shells, dolphins etc for them for free, too. One time, We put a plastic sandbox of sand and shells for them to search through. Thankyou for sharing this ❤💕💖💓 Blessings
Wish I could have seen your presentation! I'd love to see anything you'd like to share! swfbeachlife@gmail.com. Thank you Janet!
Love this! ❤️
I'm interested in all the coral pieces. I probably wouldn't keep them all but I like to see all the different shapes.
Don’t hate me but I stopped watching ur videos purposely so that I’d have something to binge watch and now I have sooooo many videos to catch up in and it’s very exciting . Feels like Christmas
No such thing as hate in my vocabulary, unless it's people being mean to other people or critters 😃 You watch however you like!
I love every time you take us to the beach!! Thank you!!!❤
Glad you enjoy it!
me too!! 🙂Thank you SWF Beach Life!
21:50 I was so relieved 😌 you saw it and picked it up! … 😮💨😍👏
Thank you for another awesome beach walk and that last pink scallop with the white stripes was beautiful thank you
I just love the colorful scallops. The hinged lacey jewel box is another favorite. Thanks for a fun video. 🌻🥰🐕
Thanks for watching!
Love Kice Island. Marco shelling tours are the best shelling spots.
Ok, so after this awesome video I've decided that when I finally make it across the state for a shelling excursion I have to make it out to Kice Island! What a beautiful place❤
I love it you take me shell hunting on Kice! There is always such an amazing assortment of shells! Thank you for the vicarious adventure! (Love the tinies!)
Those weird little murexes astound me !. The little twisty lightening whelk looked like a large whelk that got zapped💥 & shrank up !.
I love them all! Scallops! I can't wait until next Sunday. Have a great week!
"the scallops were bringing it today!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for taking us with you!!!😊😊😊
Thanks for coming
That one scallop with the white V on it was amazing!! You had so many piles to pick from that it was incredible!!
All those big shells out there had to start off as tinies, so it’s so cool to see just how tiny they were.
Thank you for another great beach walk and I really look forward to next week to see you find more incredible shells. Have a super great week!!☺️🐬
Just love Sunday’s so I can watch and learn about those beautiful shells! ♥️ I also really appreciate that you wash off the shells, when you can, so we can appreciate the colors and shine. Thank you!
Just what I needed today! Stress relief in its purest form! thank you so much for all you show us and the wonderful "beach time" segment! Can't get enough!
Thank you so much for taking me/us to the warm Florida beaches. I know I will never get down there due to my health so I love seeing all of these shells that I will never touch in my lifetime. They are so beautiful. Shell Heaven 💜✌🏻🐚
Hi Sharmon! Love me some Kice! I could spend every day there. I am so jealous. All those colorful moon snails. I LOVE them!! And those lace murex, so awesome. Kice never disappoints! Can't wait to be there! I'm sure I will watch this vid over and over and pause and hunt more shells. So fun! Thanks for taking us along. Hope you had a great Easter holiday!! Hugs💞
Kice never, ever disappoints! Just don't tell me all the shells I missed when you go back and look 🤣
Great shells! Today I think my favorite, was the beautifully spotted Jasper cone! Just gorgeous!
When you said ... "are you all screaming at your screens?" ... I was!!! LOL ... at 21:05 on video at about 10 o'clock ... that dark juvie FC !!!!! Oh my 🙂
kice! I have so many beaches on my "need to visit" list 😂 so beautiful
Beautiful calico scallops especially the purple ones. Always look forward to your videos. Thank you !
Lace Murex and Colorful Moon Snails, hard to think of prettier shells than those! You know, I close my eyes for the spoilers at the beginning of the video, but now I am so excited to see the live cone and the albino Apple Murex next week! Not that I would ever miss one of your videos anyway!!
I have to admit the live cone is pretty awesome!
That fuschia scallop was gorgeous
I was laughing when you mentioned talking to the screen. It was just after I saw a few goodies you didn’t pick up😂😂😂
Great shelling minds think alike! 😂
Awesome as always. Really needed this walk...last week we here in Wisconsin got 16 inches of snow! Funny how it changes so quickly though...it warmed up nicely and the snow is pretty much gone now. Plus we will be in the upper 60's and up to 80 in just a few days! Yay!
Your weekly beach adventures are the bright spot of my Sundays, thankyou. And if I could, I would pick up every single shell you do, but I also have a thing for kitten paws, and would love to have a lions paw.
I had to go to Walmart for my Lion's Paw. Yep. Such is the life of the Land Locked. Hee hee !.
That still counts! I met a lady that bought 4 Junonias for $4 each at a flea market!
I treasure my one mostly whole lions paw. Fingers crossed I'll be lucky enough to find another!
Thanks to your videos, I booked a charter to Dickman and Kice Island this February and had an awesome time shelling! My coolest find was a baby’s ear also.
That is awesome!
Holy moly, that angel wing was _huuuuge_ !
I know right?! Can you imagine what it must have looked like whole? 🥰
I love paper figs! I feel like they are natures cross stitch!
I new to shelling and just got back from Navarre. I’ve learned so much from you!
Happy you do this for us every Sunday. We live in missouri, so going to the beach with you helps with our beach withdrawals.
Thank you,you are a Blessing...😊
Wow that lightning welk cleaned up so nicely ! Thanks again for a beautiful day at the beach ! Can’t wait to see the second half of this video !
Kice - always a joy!
You are in my happy place thank you for the shelling trip as always
Happy Resurrection Sunday! I love Kice!!! ❤ Oh man! I was sooo screaming!!! Luckily you picked up most of them!!! 😊
💒✝️💓 I found a copy of the Legend of the Sand Dollar. I had jotted a copy off by hand. I don't have a 5 holed sand dollar, which is what it refers to. It has holes for His hands and feet, the Easter lilly, the gash in his side, doves of Peace etc. I think the poem was sold with a sand dollar and they broke it at the end to see the doves within. Blessings !.
Thank you for taking me on vacation.
You are so very welcome!
The tiny shells today were so darling !. SPINY JEWEL BOX !!!. I like the hinged Cardita. My hat's off to you for saving the live gastropods ! They would give ya a snail kiss for your kindness if only they could. I know they are happier wet ! . I'd be doing that rescue, too. 💓🐌💋
Thank you for such wonderful shells. The true tulip and banned tulips are beautiful. The lighting whelkes, olives, and the colorful moon snails along with the horse conks and the fighting conks. The spiny jewel box is awesome. The lace and apple murax are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing all the beautiful shells. Thank you for taking us along with you. Have a great day.
Gorgeous shells! Love the variety on Kice. 💖🌹🐚
You have the best luck with hinged spinies EVERYWHERE!😁 Man Kice has a lot of gaudies! You'd think we'd have Tampa turrids up near Tampa but I don't think I've ever seen one! Yep, I've never seen a hinged BRC either. That little yellow calico scallop is gorgeous!!! And the pink one with the white stripe was too! 9h good! Another week of Kice! Thanks, Sharmon. xxoo
Isn't that nutty about that Tampa turrid? Neat little shell though. Kice is always so good to me!
Wow such beautiful treasures..
Love all the teaching you do with the shells ❤thank you
You missed that bright orange thing😊 thank you for your videos you're awesome!
Wonderful shells with beautiful colors 🥰🇬🇷
Man, I need to take a trip to Kice island! I want to find a lace murex. I love all the shells you picked up. I love the hinged spiny jewel boxes. I love lightning whelks and calico scallops.
I just love watching you shell!! I just find it so soothing! I wish I lived near the ocean! I'd be out there everyday looking for shells. I particularly like the lace merix and the spiney jewel boxes.
Yessss! I love when you go to Kice island! Yayyyyyyy! ( : Can't believe I am just getting to watch Sunday 's show! It was such a crazy week! Phew! Sooo excited to see what you found! ( : I love hinged doubt jewel boxes sooo much!! ( :
OMGGGG! A teeny baby turkey wing! Squeee! ( : You have to take the FL Fighting conch! Hello! ( :
Oooh, nice lace and apple murex! ( : Yessss...a nice, pretty Fighting conch again! I wish my family would find me one of those on Anna Maria Island! Lol! ( : I never have seen one there myself, though, so I am not holding my breath! I love jingles sooo much! ( : And, then my other fav's, a calico scallops! ( : Tampa Turrid! I never heard of this shell before! ( : Really pretty, though! ( : Awww...all the little shells are adorable! ( :
Kice is always so good to me!
I love going to the beach with you every week! Kice Island is always an enjoyable virtual trip and this week did not disappoint. You got some great shells and I am excited to see the haul next week. Happy Easter.
I bet my dad would've been a good sheller. We called him Eagle eye bc he could walk anywhere in the state and find an arrow point. I swear, one time we parked at a groc. Store, and he found one in the decorative gravel. 😆 lol
He probably would have been an amazing sheller, or rockhounder or even gem collector!
@@SWFBeachLife Yeah, He passed his hair color and sense of humor to me. Life is so funny like that !. He made Wishbone dressing for a living, He used his Eagle eyes for that !. 😆🤣
Can’t wait for next week! I’m always waiting for Sunday now! Thank you so much for the beach time! ❤
Thank you so much for coming to the beach with me!
I am really enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing. I laugh when you get excited about the fighting conks (sp?). I am that way with scallops, especially calico and black. Can’t leave them! One year, I challenged myself to find the most miniscule ones I could! So fun!
I've got a video for you coming up! I found some really neat black shells on an "eco-tour" I went on. I really like them too!
I’m living vicariously thru you this year as I’m not going to get to SW Florida this year. So jealous of your hinged spiny jewel boxes. And the baby turkey wing was fabulous! Keep up the good excursions. Happy Easter from Iowa!
Jealous in Missouri !.💚 She surely has an eye for Spiny Jewel boxes ! 👀
Happy Easter to you too!
Ive learned so many shells from you, its very fun. I probably never get to Florida myself, I don´t even live in USA but its so nice to watch. I would pick up all the different moonsnails I se :D
I love those moonsnails too!
Love your videos like tagging along with you. Relaxing. Thank you!
Love love love your shelling tours. I was fortunate to spend February in Cape Coral thanks to you I know the name of all the shells I found!
Beautiful shells, can’t wait til next week!
I love the tiny shells and how excited you get to find them! ❤️🐚
Thank you love our shelling time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for allowing me to share the beach with you! 💜
Question for you. On shell tours what’s the etiquette for who gets first dibs so to speak? Can an eager beaver sheller just power walk ahead of everybody, grabbing all the cones, leaving you in their dust?😂
Let's just say, the early sheller gets the shell. If you happen to be with some other very eager people, yes - the first person to get the shells gets the good ones! You can either try to be very quick and grab the good stuff, but you might miss a thing or two but the "tone" of the shell tour will be set by the others on the tour. If everyone is kind - it's fabulous! Since I live here I don't try to beat other people to the shells 😃
Love watching each week!!! Thank you so much! Kice is on my bucket list!
So much fun. What great shells. Thank you
Another great video! Love Kice-never disappoints! ❤
Always appreciate your walks. Thx for bringing this Wisco gal along. Marco visit next month!!!
May the shelling be in your favor!
So many beautiful shells thank you for letting us tag along.
Wonderful treasurers today!!!!
I SO miss walking on Kice ! Thank you for the trip there !!
Wonderful content 😊😊😊 having beach envy in a good way!!!
I was yelling at you to keep that huge Florida fighting conch 😅😊
I had a separate bag for all the fighting conchs I brought back 😂
Este ha sido uno de mis videos favoritos. Me gustan mucho los lace murex. 🌷
¡Muchas gracias! ¡Esta isla es muy divertida para explorar y buscar tesoros en la playa!
Thanks for sharing, wish I was there!
What an amazing day, loved all the shells, thank you so much for sharing your shelling trips, hope you enjoyed your Easter, see you next week
Another beautiful beach walk yet again. Fun, fun shells. Thank you!
Wonderful video. Can’t wait to see next weeks video !
Wow wow wow on every single one of your finds in this video -- I love those so much! In addition. . . I crave one kind that doesn't register as special to most shellers -- those big heavy southern quahogs. ( I found one with clay colors that looks and feels like pottery and is very very old.) You've got me craving to go the other extreme finding tiny shells. your vids have led me to go back and search through my old collections. It took me a while to track down a couple of good ID books (you could do a show on that topic!) I'm selective on the big stuff, but can never get enough scallops, jingles, turkey wings, and neat small shapely bivalves.
Just you wait for this Sunday - I found a MASSIVE quahog that I kept. It was too awesome to leave behind. Actually, there were so many fun shells - this Sunday is going to be great!
A treat -- Thank you so much!
@@SWFBeachLife
How fun! I hate when the video ends :) I cannot wait till next Sunday. I have only been to Kice twice but it is awesome! Hope you have a great week and Happy Easter. See you Sunday! XOXO
I hope you had a wonderful Easter!
Ok ..ill take 2 of everything..❤ them.. wounderful finds.
Just lovely. The beaches have changed so much since last year, reminded me of after a wildfire when all that’s left are black bits of trees. Still very beautiful though. Stay safe x
Yes, the hurricane removed a bit of the scrub so now the island's green is pushed back a bit. Maybe after this summer it will be a bit better 😃
Another fun outing, great vid!
Just beautiful!
I love tiny shells 🐚
25:00 do you wonder what I would pick up? That buttercup blue seen that you just left behind. One of my favorites for sure.
Love all the beautiful shells you found today. Absolutely Gorgeous ❤
Happy Easter! Love watching your videos! Have a Blessed Week!
Happy Easter to you too!
A great episode,lots of information thanks. And you said ‘holy moly’, just like Jonno from Australia!
Going there this summer! Hopefully I find some shells !
Great video! Can't wait to the continuation next week!
Beautiful shells!
Love your videos, Sharmon. It's like the best meditation ever!
Wow, thank you!
Simply love your beach days. Found my first banded tulip and scotch bonnet today. I hope you had a great Easter. Thanks for your videos.
Yay on your beach treasure finds!
Hi Sharmon! I’ve only shelled the Cape Hatteras shore line,so I have some of the same shells you find, but I’d definitely pick up any of the beauties you show us. I particularly like the calico clams and I’m drawn to paper figs, but I think the little lightening whelk would be the one I couldn’t resist gathering multiples of. I’ve picked up a decent sized collection of large whelks of all three varieties commonly found on the Hatteras shore, so the little guys really appeal to me. I tend to pick up even pieces of shells to take home and hopefully identify. I love learning about the coastal ecosystem and it’s inhabitants, so I guess I could a bit of a nerd😂
Shell nerds unite! I am taking my first Florida Master Naturalist class tomorrow and I am beyond excited to learn even more about the beach! And I am just drawn to anything I don't get to see very often. I would have a ball up in your neck of the woods!
@@SWFBeachLife 🤛 shell nerds!! You would absolutely love Hatteras. It’s a magical place!
I’d love to do some Florida shelling. Someday soon, hopefully.
The Master class!! I’m so excited for you! And honestly? Maybe a lil jelly at the same time😅 I can’t wait to hear the things you learn. You are my spirit animal in the shelling world lol.
@@lorischager8027 ❤️❤️❤️
Treasure Hunters Beach Tours had a video out on identifying shell egg cases and how to tell if they are alive. I meant to send it to you but forgot. Thanks Sharmon, I always love Kice Island. Have an awesome week!
Thanks for thinking of me! I'm so busy I rely on kind people like you sharing resources with me! 🥰
Beautiful tinies are my favorites.
I am starting to really get an appreciation for those little shells!
I've never been to Kice Island. Interesting.
Love your gaudy nauticas today!
happy Easter
I just LOVE your channel. I WILL get down there one day, hopefully sooner rather than later. And while I love all of the shells, I get so excited when I find baby's ears. I have quite a few of them. And there are several colors from typical white, grey, beige, yellowish. There's a pinkish one. They are just such cool little shells.
They appear to not be your standard little gastropods. I bet they have no hinge, no "belly button" Umbilicus, no "trap door" operculum, no standard aperature or "opening", and they have a very flattened "point" or apex. Alot like an abolone except they don't seem to have al the vent holes !. I went through my stash and there's one, but it's broken. So I will add one to my bucket list. If I were there today, I would pick that up, and a true tulip bc I haven't had one of those.
Blessings !
Yes, I've seen the pictures in my shell book of the other types of baby ears. I hope I can travel one day to try my luck at some other types of shells!
Look forward to your videos.
