I was so excited for you when you found that golden olive. I rewound the video 3 times to see if I could see it rolling in the waves but I couldn’t. So glad you did! I love break line shelling too. Keeps you on your toes. Happy New Year and I’ll be sure to check out your store for your shelling bags.
Wonderful! I've never even heard of a Golden Olive shell! How cool is that? I've never seen the top of a flat either. So thank you for a fun video. I've also never seen a dead animal come out of a shell. Gross, but good to know!
Oh my goodness Laura what beautiful shells. The limpets I have not seen very many people videos in Fl that find them. The tops are so cute. The he barnicle are so awesome and so are the egg casings and just all the shells. The golden olive was the first I have see on a video. Thank you for sharing what you find and how you find them. I wish I lived near the ocean or visited the ocean to just take my time to enjoy and take it all in. Thank you again. Have a great day.
I miss a lot of what you say when it's windy- as a novice sheller, I hang on every word you say! I don't know if it is possible, but maybe try a lav mike with windscreen to help with the audio? Thank you for the virtual beach excursions and pearls of wisdom... cheers!
I could virtual shell with you all day...Lol! Such awesome finds too! That other half of a flat was too cool! And seeing the fighting conch creature was interesting...just to see how they insert themselves in the shell and what the back side of it looks like...way cool! Thanks!
Hi Laura! Such a fun video. You know I love me some Dickmans! What shuttle goes there? We just did Treasure Seekers tours but I would love to try some others. Didn't know they had shuttles to Dickmans. I fell in love with Carditas last time down which was this same time last year. I loved that intact Cardita. They have such a variety of color. I'm looking so forward to coming back this year. Hugs!
Great question! While all cone species are venomous and can sting, there are only two species (our of about 600) that are deadly to humans, and neither are in our local waters. Having said that, I personally have never seen a live cone. Not saying there aren't any, but it's a rarity. I have a much greater chance of being stung by a jellyfish or stepping on a stingray than being stung by a live cone. :-)
