Low tide evening shelling in Florida can be pretty spectacular. Even if there were no shells, the views are gorgeous! But as luck would have it, there are PLENTY of shells to go around and I am on a mission to find some cones. Low tide is definitely going to help!

I like the broken shells, especially the big ones, I like to see what’s inside, how it’s put together if you will. I’ve seen the slices of some shells and they are amazing. Especially when you think the creatures that made them are on such a basic cellular level. Amazing. Mother Nature really is awesome. Yet another brilliant video. Hugs and stay safe xx

Mother Nature really is amazing. I don't think I've ever seen one of those big shells cut in slices the way the little ones are. And sure enough they look the same. I have some of those shells in my collection too. I call them "peekaboo" shells ❤️

I had a blast in Florida for my trip. I actually had to ship a box of shells home AND packed/brought some home in luggage. lol. I have to say, the Noseeums on Ft. Myers shocked me. I did not recall them being there before especially in the A.M./daytime. I was eaten alive. I did buy the bug spray you recommended but didn't use it for Ft. Myers, Dumb me. But I did use it going forward and it helped. But I have so many goodies. I did use Ali from SWFL Shell Guide for those who might read this post. She is amazing/awesome. Found so many goodies. Thank you sharing Sharm. I had a blast and this have Ft. Myers and Marco Island to conquer. lol. Thank you

They are still gorgeous. I'm glad that you did find some cones at the end of your trip. I was really cheering for you! I'm very curious where your next trip will bring you. And I really hope that you can buy the equipment you desire. I hope that you have a wonderful week, filled with amazing finds and joy and happiness. Sending you lots of love, and of course a big hug, xoxo ❤, Ilona

What a gorgeous adventure ! Seeing so many critters ...nice to see the original occupants of all those beautiful shells . Just wondering...at timestamp 23:06 , there is a view of a beautiful shell and , also the back of your ring . Did you lose a stone , on the end ?? It looks like an empty setting and wanted to bring your attention to it ! Hope all is well !
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife 2 месяца назад
I feel like you should get some sort of prize for being so observant! Yes, I did lose a stone in my wedding ring on Keewaydin! I noticed it was missing a stone so I took the ring off and hoped I should maybe check my vacuum cleaner. Well, when I was editing this video I saw that my ring has all the diamonds when I started my trip, but I was missing one by the middle 😩 So I lost my diamond on Keewaydin somewhere. I wonder how many missing diamonds are out there!

What fun! I've NEVER seen a live lettered olive. Very cool! About that big somewhat broken shell you snagged (and the horse conch you left behind).. If you put them in your ETSY shop, tag them for "aquarum decor" or "fish tank decoration," too!

You're hired! Seriously - thank you! I am going to pair it with a piece of horse conch egg casing so it will come with baby shells too!

Oh no, when did you lose one of the diamonds in your ring?💎 I noticed it around minute 24:52 while you were showing one of the alphabet cone shells.😔 Looks like the diamond was there at minute 6:11 but gone at minute 10:46 when you were showing the whelk egg casings. I love watching your videos. Your voice is so soothing! I have learned several of the names of the shells just watching your videos. Thanks for sharing them with us.🐚🌊🏖😎

I knew I was missing a diamond and I took my ring off. When I was editing the video I noticed that I had all my stones in the beginning of the video but by the end I was missing one 😳 Total bummer but at least I didn't waste any time pulling my vacuum cleaner apart 🤷‍♀️

I would like to repeat the idea I posted earlier: a glass jar full of cleaned Noetia ponderosa doublets, and an elegant label that reads: The Ponderable Puzzle. The idea is to mix all of the valves, and then solving the puzzle by putting the right pairs together again. You will learn how to recognise the matching concentric growth lines. This puzzle will be perfect for children to play with (if the shells are of equal size and not too small), or just as a nice decoration/paper weight on the table. Do you think it will sell?

It's a neat idea, but I have about 50 other things on my "to-do" list. If you decide to do something like that let me know how it goes!

Good evening, my Beach Angel! I am delighted to be the first commenter tonight! It will seem as if we are wandering down the beach together! How fun! Yay! I'm screaming at you, darling! Save that horse conch for me! I'll pay you for it! Pleeeeze? You are sure having a great day shelling and seeing so many critters, too! I'm so glad, as you deserve a great day of fun! I've been busy with Marsha, but I have the next two days off and will spend some time dipping the shell collection I bought a few years back. It is still encased in calcium, so that will be fun. I have time off because she has asked me to spend a few nights with her this next week, after her eye surgery. If that is successful, she may regain vision in her left eye. Then she can begin the physical therapy she needs to regain strength in her shattered leg and be independent again. At that point, my work with her will be done, though our friendship will remain close and strong. I can then regain my own independence, healed and whole, as my dear Gama so wanted. I have learned so much about myself from my time with her! We have helped one another a lot and I am so grateful! Oh, you did do well today! Oddly, I didnt pick up a thing! Haha! At least my shell bag is not that heavy! Oh, those little baby crown conchs that never lived are so sad! That cone is really very beautiful! What a wonderful video this has been! We got our own beach walk! I'll never forget it and one day we'll do it for real, I hope! All my love to you, dearest Angel! Happy tracks be yours and lots of shells, too! Rebecca, Your Lost Mermaid ❤

It is sad to find all those little baby snails that will not be, but as it turns out they can provide a food source for birds and other sea creatures so there is almost no waste. Mother Nature is the best recycler!! I am so happy you and Marsha found each other!!

Hey there!! Love your videos! I was wondering if you have ever considered putting out longer videos? I keep wishing the videos were longer and that I could see you pick up other stuff, even if you don't keep it. Obviously, if you spend 2-3 hours at a location you don't have to post that long of a video, but maybe bump it up to an hour or longer so we can see more. Believe it or not, I like your voice, the scenery and looking at things you keep and things you don't. I would love to see longer shots without so much editing, because it feels like I'm there too! Thanks for considering longer videos! I am obsessed with your channel and I'm working on watching all your content! ❤️ Thank you for sharing everything you do share! ❤️

Oh beach friend I wish I could! I am going to try to make more content for my Patreons as a thank you, so I may be able to offer more content but I likely will not make my videos longer. I sometimes post things on my other channel too - SWF Beach Life Stuff: www.youtube.com/@swfbeachlifestuff Right now I'm putting ASMR videos on there but anything that I don't think will be a good fit for this channel I'm going to post over there.

@@SWFBeachLife I completely understand! Every RU-vidr is different and you do what works for you! 😁 I have subscribed to the other channel and will check it out! I am not complaining, just fyi! I just want to watch you more! I hope that came across in my original post. I am so glad I came across your channel, because I live in The Pacific Northwest, in Washington State, and our coastline doesn't get the shells that you do, so it's been fascinating to learn about all the shells and the critters. So, thank you again! For now I will just continue to watch the years of content that you have!! ❤️

The boat drops you off at the point, so you can either go north on the bay side a bit (not for me) or the gulf side. I tend to walk on the gulf-facing side and I'll go a bit north from there. Always hoping to find some sort of honey hole!

Hey Sharmon! Are the Florida cone and Jasper cone about the same size? Jasper has bumps and Florida is smooth, right? You are just like Google for shells, but more fun to listen to! ❤
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife 2 месяца назад
The Jasper cone is smaller and has ridges on it. I don't think I've ever actually found one. They only get about 1" big. The Florida cones get bigger (2"), much easier to find and they are smooth. And normally a little beat up for some reason!

Good morning my Florida beach chum.. :) Loved the video as usual . I have a question. When you came across the Sea Star @ time stamp 8:10 there was a golden object right beside it. I just thought it strange that you didnt reach for it. It was probably trash but you would usually pick up trash. Just a little observation that got my curiosity up. A friend here in NI got himself a strong magnet to go "fishing" in the harbour here in "Port Devine" ( Donaghadee ) and caught himself a Circa 1500 sword . Not exactly an ancient piece but still pretty cool. So it made me wonder about your walks and if you ever stumble across cool artifacts.
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife 2 месяца назад
That yellow thing is a jingle 😃 Had it been rubbish I definitely would have removed it. And I have seen magnet fisher-people! It's INCREDIBLE what gets pulled out of some waters. I think the only cool artifacts one might find are Spanish coins if diving, or maybe pottery from the Calusa Indians that lived here before us. Other than that it's mostly seashells with some glass here and there. Happy to see you comment here for a change!!!
