Today I am back shelling on Hatteras Island in the North Carolina Outer Banks! Today I am once again exploring the southern facing shore of the island, from Frisco towards Cape Hatteras. Let's see what shells I can find!
Great finds, especially those two intact Scotch Bonnets that late in the morning! Lots of footsteps near where you found them so it goes to show you have a keen eye!
Nice scotch bonnets! And how awesome that there's so many baby ears down there! That big one your found was huge! And crazy you found a piece of tun all the way up in the Carolinas. Fun finds - thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Tun shells are actually quite common up north, but are so darn fragile they just almost always fall apart. I couldn't believe all those baby ears, and the bonnets were nice surprises!
This is inspiring me to go shelling when I get to outer banks next week….thank you for the education, now I will have some idea what I picking up. I have never learned any of the names but appreciate viewing them all!
I would have to agree, but they are too bulky to travel all the way back home. We did actually find a bunch of intact ones after a storm, just I haven't been able to edit those videos yet as I like to go in chronological order, and I just haven't gotten there yet. Thanks for watching :)
Not living near a place known for shelling. Like even some of the broken shells. Amazing to get a look at how they are internally. Wow, BIG shark eyes. Blustery weather! ♥️👍♥️
Thank you for picking up scallops and the broken whelks. I would do the same and no one else I watch does so so thank you!!!! Your vids are great...love from land-locked TN!!
Thank you so much! It was one of my first outings in NC so I was still just kind of picking up everything (LOL). Thanks for the kind words and for watching! :)
After a while you stop collecting everything. when i started collecting years ago, i picked up EVERYTHING and omgish. I had so much and no where to put them! LOL still hard not to still putt everything it in the bag through!
This actually was a few days before a storm. The currents around Cape Hatteras are very strong, and piles of shells often come without any storm influence.
