Extreme COLD brings in PILES of SHELLS to Pass-a-Grille, Florida! 

So fun to watch you brave the cold and find so many treasures. It would have driven me crazy to see so many stranded critters. Great info and lovely video as always. 👏🏻

That was like HEAVEN except for the stranded shells! Thanks for taking us along with you!

Amazing, exciting, and sad all at the same time. Hard to see all the creatures that were doomed especially that large, old horse conch freezing on the beach but I could feel your adrenaline being so astounded when you came upon this event. Thanks for sharing!

So many beautiful shells

WOW! The number(s) of shells on the beach was mind-boggling. You found some beauties, and I know you passed on a ton of shells. Truly amazing. Many Thanks for taking us along. 😎 🐚

That was AMAZING And HEARTBREAKING all at the same time! Those little horse conchs and the tulips are my favorites. And the murex, any murex makes me happy.❤TN Nana

I've seen way more shells there than that.. yes on the beach 😁 I'll say.. I've scooped with a large fishing net, and in one scoop of the break line I could fill the net 👌

Wow! What an amazing adventure! That green mussel was really unusual! Thanks for taking us along, Solace.

Definitely a great and informative video. Agree that it was amazing, exciting and sad at the same time! Thank you as always you taking us along with you in the freezing cold 🥶. The colors on those lighting welks🤩😍

Thank you for braving the chilly morning to bring the beach to us. 🥶

Wear waterproof gloves like the ones for chemicals! I bet that would be quite a bit warmer for you next time! Cool finds 🐚🐚🐚

I can’t believe it was that cold and you still gave us a great video. Good job 🌊🐚

I was there this past Thursday. There were still a lot of great shells!! I especially enjoyed the colorful Atlantic sea scallops. A couple days before in Pass-a-Grille we caught a possible ufo on a sunset picture. Thanks for all your endurance while you made that great video!

Great video, thank-you! I'm sad to see so many die too!! 😭

Wow, I've never seen such beautiful lightning whelks--they bright yellows and oranges? And of course the beautiful, perfect tulips. Very sad about the massive amount of cold shocked and stranded shells, tho. That part is hard to see. Nature is tough at times.

Freezing or not I would have been there too given the chance...what a phenomenon that could front and high tide stranding so many to not survive very sad. You did a great deal of shivering I'd say! Hope you were able to warm up and admire you great finds!

Wow!! Congratulations!! How did I miss this video?!?! I remember now because I was in Navarre Beach, Fl. when this cold snap hit. You hit the mother load. We did great too! It was bitterly cold but I weathered it too! I found a shell I’ve never found before and I’ve been all over Florida like you. It was the Florida Rock Snail Shell. I found 3 different sizes, simply beautiful. Congrats agin! Great video!! I’m still shaking my head. Thankful this video came across. Happy Shelling Friend! 💃🐚🌴🐬🥰

Oh my goodness shell explosion you are wonderful bearing the cold and the wind that makes it worse to share your amazing adventure and treasure finds with us thank you

I’m in Illinois. I understand the cold.

You know someone does a lot of shelling when they pass up all those lettered olives. Granted, I understand: after digging up over 200 of them at one time I actually managed to get tired of them too😅

Checked my photo of the haul and it was January 18. Too bad I can't upload the pic. 13 Banded Tulips, 10 Lightening Whelks, 6 crown conchs, 3 Pear Whelks and 1 cone. Also picked up 11 mini sundials just because don't usually see those. It was an unusual pile to find on a small intercoastal bay beach at a kayak launch.

Woow cool finds thanks for sharing everything including details why there was so many because of the cold front interesting 👌

Wonderful finds!

Wow!This beach is 1 hour from me and I haven’t been there yet.Great Finds!Thx for taking us along😮

Some of those are beautiful 👍 love it

I find it helpful to keep a pair of lightweight garden gloves in my jacket pocket for cooler days like this. Enjoyed the adventure and information about the tulips. Blessings

Great video! I think that might’ve been the day I ran into you on the beach. It was a crazy day! Was not expecting to meet you but definitely was one of the most interesting shelling days out there.

Why did u skip so many good shells?

I picked up one that had a octopus in it.

I'm in maine and it's 16 at almost 10am and we're under 4+feet of snow and currently getting more we're forecasted for another foot!

Amazing shells. I would have braved that cold for those shells. That big whelk, gorgeous. The colors were so bold on the banded tulips. So enjoyed this video! Thanks for taking us along. Have a great week.

There are so many beautiful shells. I love them all 😊.

Oh my gosh..I do understand that Cold weather as we in Pensacola are Also crazy enough to bundle up and look for shells ! Those Tulips were insane. Was sad to see the stranded sealife. Thank you for the Awesome video !

Banded and True Tulips are some of the best finds in my opinion. Kind of surprised there weren't more Alphabet cones with better markings. Thanks for the great vid.

Funny story… brought the grands to Pass a Grill… not a darn shell on the beach that day! I went to the shell shop across the street and dropped $10 bucks worth on the ground for them to find! LOL

Lucky to live in Florida, I live in malaysia there’s like nothing here but scallops 😢

I too found a giant pile of tulips and whelks after the cold down in Sarasota. Now I know why.

I have fleece lined rubber gloves for really cold days. And ankle height muck boots. Great finds!

Good seeing you out there. Yes it was extremely cold but definitely well worth it. Hope to see you out shelling again one day. Happy hunting.

These images for me are very sad. Terrible loss of life from these beautiful sea Mollusks. Dang cold sea. But that's life for all of us. It's amazing that anything survives Mother Nature's Rath.

Terrible sound quality! And a 28 degree wind chill is hardly frigid. It's cold, but you might have worn gloves. Take a look at Michigan Rocks winter videos. He has the proper equipment for winter collecting on the beach. I feel so sorry for all the animals that perished due to the temperature.

Shelling in the cold-maybe cold-water insulated diving pants, insulated diving boots and insulated, thin diving gloves..? Haha! And a battery-operated, heated vest. Whatever it takes to shell😅. Seems like the water would be still be warmer that the cold air for the stranded live ones, but I guess still too cold🥶. Can’t save ‘em all though, that is a lot of shells.

I found you thru Sharmon and her channel ... great video , I really enjoyed watching your content , TY.! Congrats on braving the elements... Im in Ireland and feel your pain !!

Phenomenal 💙

Wow!! That was amazing!! I love to go shelling at night because it's easier for me to find sharks teeth. However, it's been way too cold for me this winter here in Florida!!! We're not built for the cold 🤣🤣

So epic and hardcore. I had to turn on my heated blanket just to watch. 😂 great haul. Congrats

I love shelling, you are so lucky with the quantity and variety of shells you have on your beaches. I’m in Western Australia and it would takes months to find the amounts of shells you do.

All foreign shells are rare. If it were me, I would draw a 1m square line, pick up all the shells there, and go home. It's a heavenly beach！

Yeah, I was out there on that cold weather too! But not at P-G. Have been there since. It's the place to go for banded tulips, spiny jewelboxes and calico scallops. Also little horse conchs. That was a nice LW! You must have been walking down the beach. I don't see the rocks at the end. AND you do have to get there early because it's open 24 hrs. Ok. Now I see rocks. The end is usually the best place. Really hard not to take all those banded tulips, isn't it? I came home with a boatload last time I was there.😊 And I actually found a yellow one almost identical to yours at 23 min. Yes winter shelling after cold fronts are the best. We've had wind and rip currents the past couple of days so looking forward to that tomorrow!👍

You need gloves and hand warmers for in your pod let's. I live in Wisconsin. We deal with cold weather all the time!

How many times can one person watch this incredible, informative video! Thank you, appreciate you sharing! I am watching all the videos!

Why not wear medical gloves? If I forget my gloves during chicago winters, I wear 2 pair of medical gloves to clean the snow off of my car, my hands stay dry n lessen the cold a bit.

How cold was it out there? Funny thing is in NY it has been so warm this winter and no snow. Strange weather!

32 would be good shelling weather😅.....

You will "ONLY GRAB A SHELL WORTH PICKING UP"!... Then why did you bring us along??? Worth to YOU, or worth to US??? I shuttered as I watched you crush shells you walked over!!!! This is the first time Ive been disgusted by your shelling!!!!

So many shells you didn't pick up. Bring larger bags if you get up that early and you know there will be a lot of shells it only makes sense to bring a larger bag. I love seeing the beautiful shells. Thanks for the video

2:10 am u guys are so lucky wish I was there with picking those beautiful sea shells but I have to get a rack and getting all all those sea shells and put them back into the sea to make sure the live sea shell creatures get a second chance to live ,and still keep some tha dnt have any living sea creatures

Found your video a year after the fact and it is such a good one for vicariously shelling through you. It was sooo cold!.

You collecting shells for what? What are you going to do with them?

Maybe we can predict this situation, and go there at low temperatures next time.

Wow, I would have needed a wheelbarrow to hold the shells I would have picked.

I love sea shells! Collecting them, making photo frames,mirror frames, boxes for tissues , big letters letters decorated with shells, Swarovski crystals and pearls 😍😍😍😍 I have so many shells 😅but still collecting them😜😍 of course only empty, without any animals inside 🙏

I visited San /Cap this time 2 yrs ago and learned that the reason I only saw basically cockles and tulips is because it’s high season for cockles and tulips prefer to feed in cockles by attaching to their shell and drilling a small hole in them and eating the animal in the cockle. We normally are there summer or early fall so this was the first trip so early in the year and the whole beach was cockles. They would chatter and even move “walk” all around in the tide pools

You skipped some really beautiful shells?

I learned something new about tulips and cold weather. Thank you for researching after seeing so many onshore. The lightning whelks are beautiful! You are truly a dedicated sheller to brave the bitter cold. I hope you didn’t get sick.

What do you do with the shells that you collect? How do you clean them?

Dress for winter weather when you go Shelling next time

I like from Indonesia hendri

Those tru tulips are amazing and so hard to find.

That was fascinating, thank you 🐚

Beautiful shells glad you were able to film...but WHY were you whispering 😁

What was the actual temperature? I didn't know that Florida ever got cold weather even in winter, isn't that why so many people retire there? Lovely shells you found though. Hi from Australia!

I love the stink of decomposition in the morning.

I had to stop watching. The way you film made me dizzy. Looks like you’re having fun though. Enjoy you day😊

Not something I feel comfortable watching, I know it's nature but too much death.

Miami Beach is covered in myriads of tiny beautiful tropical shells.

I'm missing you 🐚🐚🐚

ohoh so cool many shells

I would love to do this!!! How fun! Love that you put live back!!! Amazing.

Are you not interested in cerephs, cones, olives, worm snails, etc? You walked right over so many.

My goodness what an awesome video!! Thank you!! 🤗🦋🤗 You need a bigger bag!! Maybe invest in nice water proof boots like hiking boots, just saying & some gloves!!

I love shells wish I could be there

What would be the best thing to do if I find a beached live conch? If I place them in shallow water, will they just get beached again?

How can a cold front make a huge pile? I’ll see shelves like this and how I didn’t know it cold Front a big piles of seashells I didn’t know how can a cold font do that

Unbelievable! You are so brave! Thank you for sharing!!!😊😊😊

Wow, 👍👍

You need hot paws. Put them in your pockets to save your finger tips. Works great. 👍

Just your hand???

謝謝~🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

❤

Wow..how fun..good luck...nice to look if there is no red tide to bug a person

Please do not use your flash light or phone light on our main beach during turtle nesting season.

I would love to

Have you ever found any seahorses washed up on the beach while shelling?

Fabulous

You are one dedicated sheller. So many piles of awesome shells !

Minutes

Wow!

I see alot of small round shiny things-are those pearls?

My stomping grounds 🤫🤭
