Finding shells after a storm. Hurricane Idalia brought the shells and some! 

I look forward to your videos every week. Thank you for an awesome trip to the beach.

So many beautiful shells!!! What a wonderful trip to Fort Meyers’s!❤❤❤😊😊😊

With everything going on in the news, I just had to hear you say "HELLO BEACH FRIENDS".

I loved your shell hunting lol so many nice shells ❤❤❤😂

Saturday Night Fever sea star! LOL!💃

I love seeing all the goodies you find... Thank you for taking us with you...🐚🐚🐚🐚

Watching you is soothing. You’ve inspired me to shell the Florida coast! We are going to St. Augustine to visit the beach and family. In December we’re going to Keywadin and Marco. Can’t wait!

What a wonderful shell collecting day. A wide variety of gorgeous shells. So glad you are sharing your adventures with us. I literally wait for your videos to post . Like your content better than than the others. Be safe. Many more shelling days ahead.

Hi Sharmon! Such a fun shelling video. My daughter and I spent a whole day riding all thru Ft Myers a couple of weeks ago and of course checking out the beach. The devastation made me so sad. I have seen so many videos and pics after Ian but being right there is a whole different feeling. Hopefully my next trip I will see more rebuild and improvement. One thing for sure, the beach is still bringing in those lovely shells and we still get our wonderful "beach time" with you!! Have a great week

Love those beach bowls. Bigger is always better.😂 That dark sand dollar is huge!

Beautiful beach day! I can’t believe you had it to yourself. That’s awesome! I love the “Hangover Moon snail” idea! 😂. Thanks for taking us along!

Would love to find seashells like you 😁Thank You again! From Virginia.

In the warm waters of the Florida coast, there lived a unique and spirited Florida Fighting Conch named Finn. He was a freak among his kind, for his shell bore the marks of countless underwater battles. His spiraled, roughened shell was a testament to his courage and determination. One fateful day, a colossal Horse Conch, known for its size and strength, decided he was going to have Finn as a snack. The Horse Conch was relentless, but Finn refused to back down. With a fierce determination, they clashed under the sea, their shells colliding in a thunderous symphony of clicks and clacks. For ages, the battle raged on, with neither willing to yield. Finn fought valiantly, but the Horse Conch's sheer size and strength and speed were overwhelming. In a final, heroic surge, Finn delivered a resounding blow, but it came at a great cost. The Horse Conch's immense shell struck Finn , caught hold of his delicate squish sucking him into the shell only to spit out his shell in moments. Eventually, the stormy currents carried Finn's shell ashore, where it came to rest on a sandy beach. There, it gleamed like a precious zig zag gem amidst the seashells and debris left behind by the churning waves. A lovely sheller lady named Sharmon was strolling along the beach. Her keen eye caught sight of Finn's shell, and she bent down to pick it up. As she examined the beautiful, battle-scarred conch shell, she couldn't help but wonder about its history. Intrigued by the unique shell, Sharmon took it home with her. She placed it on her windowsill, where the sunlight filtered through the window and cast a warm glow upon it. As Sharmon looked at the shell each day, she couldn't help but feel a deep connection to the past. She knew that the storm that had washed Finn's shell ashore had likely brought both beauty and destruction to the lives of many. She saw the shell not just as a work of art but as a reminder of the resilience of all living beings, including humans who had weathered their own storms. Finn's shell became a symbol of strength, courage, and the beauty that could emerge from adversity. It was a reminder that, like Finn, people do face challenges head-on . And so, Finn's legacy lived on through the lovely sheller lady and her cherished fighting conch shell. It served as a testament to the enduring spirit of all who had braved the tempestuous seas, and as a source of inspiration for those who gazed upon its unique, battle-scarred beauty.

Oh, thank you, thank you… i needed some beach therapy!!

WoW, thanks for sharing! The variety was amazing

Olives are my absolute favorite shells! I've only found 2 but hopefully one of these days I'll get down your way & find many! ❤

Good evening, dear Beach Angel and everyone who loves the beach and our Angel! Hope you're having a good start to the new week! Back to FMB (Ft. Myers Beach)! So many shells you can't hold them all, no that's my kind of day! Wow, that's a great big old Lettered Olive! Love it! Today's the day for outsized shells and stuff, darling! Hubby found that frisbee sized sand dollar and that banded tulip is gorgeous! Those prickly cockles usually have a sunset in their shells! They're so pretty! And the colorful moon snails, too! This abundance of shells makes me wonder what's lying on the sand on Kice Island. I'll bet there are shells galore! I'm so glad you had a wonderful day at the beach, Angel! You deserve it after your auction was such a great success! I'm so proud of you! Thank you so much for allowing me to tag along on your beachy adventure! I can always count on you for showing me a great time. Just hearing your voice makes me know that a fun trip is in my future! Until next week, I am sending my love to you and all who read this message. Peace to you and beautiful dreams of the sea and its gifts of seashells. Rebecca Someone gave me a metal sign that has a mermaid on it that reads "She dreams of theocean late at night and longs for the wild salt air." What better gift for the Lost Mermaid!

Thanks for a great shelling trip, that was so great seeing all the shells, have a wonderful week!!

I walked that beach when I was a little girl back in the early 50s,,, I’m older now… I’m needing about 15 small 2-4” horseshoe crabs to share with me kids in my church… need them intact and dried out… I’ll pay for the shipping

Fabulous shelling at Ft. Myers Beach!

What a joy that video was, Shar!! I love the hesitation of you telling us what kind of shell you were picking up it gave me a chance to guess what they are and I must admit, I'm getting a bit better at that. I think I only missed 2 this time. I could stop the video but what fun is that?? I'm 70 so it's a true test for my memory!! Thank you for always educating, entertaining, being eco friendly and encouraging others along the way to do the same. Another brilliant video, Shar! Thank you, again!!

Oh! My! Goodness!!! What beautiful seashells 🐚 and those sand dollars 😮Just lovely ☺️ My best friend used to live at Fort Myers’s and has moved to Oviedo Florida ❤ Thank You for sharing your adventures with us 😁

Beautiful shells. 👌 😍 Such a special day at the beach. It was interesting to see the critter inside the shell sticking it's eyes out. It had it's eyes out on stalks.👀 I have never seen what a snail looks like peeking out of an apple murex or lace murex. Your husband found some cool shells too. Enjoy next shelling weekend. See you next week. 👋👋😎

Humorously chiding “hubby” for giving shells away. I cracked up! I live in “Bastin” where we love steamed clams & scallops. Not to be voracious but Are the Calico clams & Calico scallops down there served to people?

Hi Sharmon! Thanks for sharing Part 2 of the Ft. Myers beach walk. So many treasures! I particularly loved that fighting conch that had all the zig zaggies on it, even its knobs. But I didn't see it at the end when you showed everything you collected. Did you keep it? Anyway, so many other gorgeous shells to add to your collection. My daydreams of visiting Florida continue. Have a blessed week.

I will be blessed to go back to Englewood in a few weeks. My favorite there is stump pass. I remember the huge horse conch you found there. Ft. Myers Beach in this video was a fantastic shell day. Your shell finds here was extraordinary. I would love to go to Ft . Myers Beach! You said you were at the bend of the beach, I would love if you could give me a street, parking area or anything that's close by , and am hoping to find tulips, horse conchs, angel wings, shark eyes. If I came close to your finds , I would be ecstatic!! Thank you for your videos, appreciate them. Any help would be appreciated. Also what is your absolute favorite shelling spot that doesn't require a boat? Appreciate you! Thank you so much

omg we'll be there in a week or so....staying in Cape Coral....looking forward to some fun shell adventures!

I so enjoy your videos!! What beauty the shells hold!! I don’t know if I can’t remember, but when was the last time you took home a sea urchin? I feel like it’s been awhile. Take care and have a great week, see you next Sunday!! 🥰🐬

I have a question for everyone. Is it safe to kayak from Marco Island to dickmans? This shelling video is amazing!

Such a fabulous episode.. so wish I was there!!!!!

snails don't do card tricks...funny!

Thank you, as always, for a great trip to the beach!

Yea, you found some rose petal talons. I love those.

Thank you for another relaxing trip to the beach! You had quite a haul today, and I’m getting really good at naming the shells before you do. What fun! ❤️🐚

Oh I do love an empty beach where you can walk, find treasures and dream. I love the lack of commercialisation on this beach too, no vendors, nothing to kill the dream that I am on a desert island. What a lovely stroll. Cant wait for Kice, as you know I’m a bit in love with Kice Kice baby!! agave a brilliant week, stay safe xx

That was so much fun! Thank you for some very much needed beach time.

What do u do with all the shells u find?? 😊❤️ Love watching ur videos!! ❤️😁

The Saturday Night Fever sea star was stayin' alive!

the broken moon snail reminded me on a minion, one eyed with a huge smile! So cute. The worm snail from Whoville with a Cindy Lou sized Christmas tree at the top!

O my God what a beautiful shells 🐚 😍.

Do you find very many sea urchins, I think that's what you call them. They are round and maroon color. I ove them.

Do you ever find Wentle Traps down there? I have found 3 - at different times - on the NC Outer Banks!

Omgosh! That sand dollar was huge! I love Ft. Myers Beach.

We love your videos! We're currently in Marco and want to go to Kice Island. Which tour company do you recommend?

Whats the difference between a Calico clam and a giant bittersweet? They both have a zigzag pattern.

10:15, just above your hand, albino queen conch or albino FFC.

Are there any hotels right on the beach where you’re finding these treasures? Coming in November for a few days.

Where did you park for this fantastic excursion?🐚🎉

Amazing haul. I need to go!

Thanks Sharmon, that was a wonderfully shell filled walk. I made it to the beach this weekend for a little over an hour my daughter and I searched for shark's teeth. We were on Mickler's Landing in NE FL, not much in the way of collectible shells but great for the teeth.

A Beautiful day !! Towards the end of the video you mentioned the bridge between Lovers Key and FMB needed repair. Is it closed to traffic ? I miss visiting that area. Thank you.

Hangover shark eyes 😆

Mmmm toasted coconut 🍤 ❤

Love the "hangover " term!

How awesome! Definitely would take all of the OLIVES!! I have only found 1 crown conch, I will have to come to Fort Myers for sure!! That is awesome that your hubby goes with you and LOOKS for shells!!! Have a great week. See you Sunday!! XOXO

I’m an upper rackline sheller. I like to shell everything, but I always seem to find really cool stuff in the old upper rackline and sometimes all the way up to the base of the dunes. I love the tinies, too, though, so if they seem to be piled up at the water’s edge where the coffee grounds are, then I head straight for them. Really fun couple of videos!! The oyster was my favorite! So pretty!! And the coconut colored lace, that was lovely.

Beautiful ❤

Loved it right near the start when you said, "What a mess. Aghhh. Love it!" We love it, too!!

Another wonderful trip to the beach😊. The crab in that one shell is a fiddler crab. They make those little holes all over the shoreline around mangroves usually. I see them more often on the bayside and natural beaches where there’s more vegetation. Fun to watched them all running around 😊

That horse conch was an awesome find! Loved seeing the little Cochinas dance.

Why can't images be sent through comments for Christ's sake

Hi Sharman!! 👋 Beautiful Banded Tulips! I loved the Colorful Lace Murex😍 This hunt was EPIC!!!

❤️👋🇨🇦

Lol! I picked up a bunch of olives last week at PCB!❤️

Yay! I was waiting for you to post

Or a Crying Moonsnail...

Love hangover shark eyes

Yep . It's a pearl oyster! Interesting how it resembles the winged Atlantic one with no periostricum. I have a hinged set with the p. Looks very scaly which is very different from the AWO. That was a huge sand dollar! And a huge BT!! Love the very spiky JB!😊❤️ Congrats on all the trues!👍👍 And ALL the crown conchs! So a hurricane goes by and WHERE is everybody??? Hope you guys had a great time up here and got to do all you had planned!

I adore you and your videos

Thank You for another great video! Love, love FMB!! My ❤ will always be there!!!😊

What a wonderful day full of amazing treasures ❤

I do enjoy our walks together😊

Makes me want to be right there with you!!😊

Sharmon, as always, so awesome. It keeps the great memories alive. Thank you, thank you..50° here.

I live in Indiana and unfortunately I have no beach around me. I have been to Florida once in my life and didn't find very many shells, and they were mostly common shells. Still had an awesome time but can't wait to retire next year and go shelling. I love your videos, makes me happy to see the beach and all the wonderful shells and critters you find. Thanks for what you do for all us who can't get to a beach.

I came across a video that another sheller found around 20 Wentletraps in one video, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought you may want to see it. It was at the Lighthouse before Ian.

niiiiice!❤

I can't help feeling envious. There aren't many shells on the Atlantic coast, and most of them are in pieces.

What are those san stone things I want to see them

I love true angel wings

Are the cross barred venus clams always yellow on the other side??

That is a triceratops of a spiney jewelbox! 😂

That’s it sand dollar!

i have shelled in the st pete and clearwater area after major storms...so much fun!

Thanks 🙏 Sharmon ……that was a haul! See you @Kite 😊

I’m coming to ft Meyer beach area in next few months from Titusville Fl on east coast.. When is best time for shelling on sanibel and captivate island. Will pine island have shells also?

i bet sanibel was ripe for picking also!

What app do you recommend for identifying shells?

I do enjoy are walks together😊

What part of fort Myers is this?

That is a beautiful haul.

Thank you.

😘🤗❤️ from Portugal

Omgosh! That sand dollar was huge! ‘Hangover Shark eyes’🤣
