Fantastic Post Storm Shelling in the Outer Banks!

- This was one of my best outings during my trip to the North Carolina Outer Banks. It was cold, windy, very late at night, but it was worth it! A few days of very high winds proved to be very helpful in finding great shells! Stay tuned for part two of this post storm shelling mini series, where I venture onto the beach the following morning and search during the day time. That was my last day of my trip, so it will be the last video you will see from me from the main stretch of the Outer Banks (It'll finish off with a bang though!).
Thanks so much for watching! :)

Oh I wish I was there with you freezing or not ! What a time you where having!! So happy for you!! Wish you the best!! Keep up the good work! But don’t get sick!! God bless!
Thank you for the kind comment! Shelling can more extreme than one could expect. Happy shelling 🐚
Great video, my friend! You sure did find a ton of Knobbed Whelks!
Thanks so much! Now that I have a little more free time I need to catch up on your videos :)
Brave to face the elements. Very nice finds! Was thinking you may need a tractor for that haul. Incredible! 👍👍👍👍
Now that is some hardcore shelling right there! Great finds and well deserved! I hope we can find a whole knobbed whelk one day down here in south Florida. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Yeah that was probably the most extreme I've ever went just to find shells. I think it's definitely possible to find an intact knobbed whelk in south Florida, just more difficult than it is in the north. Good luck on your endeavors! Thanks for watching :)
Hi..I truly loved this video..the massive whelks are adorable....you was surely lucky this time! Amazing haul!
Thank you very much! All those whelks were super cool to see.
Hope you had a big bag!
This wad awesome! You certainly braved the elements! I hoped for a queen to show I then next thing was the teeth.. so glad you kept it.. so many treasures there would look great here! Lol I'm s sucker for babys ears too! Biggest hugs
I too was very much hoping for a queen helmet but no luck. Those teeth will have to do. It really was awesome despite it being so cold. Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome video!! Your hard work payed off!!, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It was a grueling process behind the scenes, (all the failed attempts, miles upon miles walked) but that is what keeps you going! Thanks so much for watching! :)
I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you! That was awesome!
Thanks so much for the support!
if u come to nz again u should come up north hopefully u find some ostrich feet shells there butiful we have plenty of others to
I would love to! Thanks a bunch for watching :)
Wow! The shells were literally just washing up at your feet! We had a couple of productive trips there on Jan 14th and 15th. Our low tide was just about at sunrise so I'm guessing you were there before we were, or this is just from a couple days ago and you edit quick! We focused on 48&49 because we've had luck there and were prepared to drive. Did you have a cart with you because every time I saw you find another massive whelk I kept thinking how heavy they must be in total!
It was so cool to finally find a bunch of big whelk shells all in one outing! This was Jan 2022, so last year (I'm just that slow of an editor, LOL). I did not have a cart with me, though that would've been the way to go. It was a long hike back. Over this recent holiday break I took a trip to the "Southern OBX" (Emerald Isle/Beaufort/Shackleford Banks area) and the shelling was great. I had one outing where I found a ton of big shells and had to walk back like 5 miles with them, and it was the most grueling walk of my life. It was worth it though! Thanks so much for watching! :)
@@shellstories OMG, I am a year behind! You clearly said Jan 2022 in the video and my brain didn’t register that it is now 2023!!!
@@fatherandsonsfishing The troubles of the new year!
Beautiful whelks! How the heck did you carry all of them?!
@@beckygruening1000 Shell bag + backpack. It was a long walk back, LOL.
Wow thats awesome!!! Loved the vid!!
Thank you so much!
Very hardcore!! Happy for you!
Thank you!
Hello from Connecticut, loved it there
It is a very nice area!
Wow! What a haul! I usually go to Sanibel😢in June and wondered if the shelling in outer banks at that time was good? Thanks for sharing your video!
I've never been in the Outer Banks in June so can't say from any firsthand experience, but from what I've heard it is not as good as it is in the winter. It makes sense to me since June is tourist season and there are less of the good shell productive northeast winds. I'd say its still worth a shot, but I would think Shakleford Banks at low tide would be the safest option for that time of year. Thanks so much for watching!
@@shellstories thank you!
Holy cow!!! What beach is this
so many Whelks 😇
love the video where were u shelling at frisco beach ?
So what lives in the whelks?
Snails, specifically whelk snails. They create the shells!
