WOW! ...so many great finds! ...am memorizing the names of the shells so I can identify the ones that I already have! Thanx for taking me along on this trip to Caladesi Island~~!!~~
I appreciate how much time you take to set up your different cameras to get those super cool shots of you walking the beach :) Nice island visit. That worn down star shell was pretty cool! I've seen the live calico scallops in really shallow water with all their little eyes - really cool stuff. Once again nice video! Keep 'em coming!
It's so cool - usually have only ever found Star-shells in the Keys. For some reason, they wash up in this area of central west Florida. Thanks so much for watching and for the good feedback!
I love both of your channels. Each channel has its differences but in a good way. It feeds my addiction of FOMO that I feel comfortable that there is always some treasure to be found :)
I went here once with a friend in the winter. It was only us 2 the entire time! Wore 3 pairs of pants and 5 tops 🤣 We found our first star fish there 🤗 our bags were loaded with shells and beach stuff! I collected 12 pairs of sunglasses on the beach that day!
When I need to a break from the daily struggle of nursing school I find solace coming here and watching you videos so tranquil and relaxing. Beautiful imagery. Your videos inspire me to stop at a east coast beach when I take my grad trip in October to Florida but I dont want to be disappointed but I would like to see if I can find different shells than the ones found on the West Coast. SWF beach life and Solace in Shelling are favorite escapes. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you so very much for your meaningful feedback. I am very glad that you are able to find sanctuary here and with other similar channels. Appreciate your viewership!
Thank you! Enjoyed your beach walk & treasures ❤️ I read a great book about a woman who grew up on the island and used to take a row boat to the mainland to go to school everyday! Amazing history.
Hi friend! What was the name of the book? That sounds like an amazing adventure every day to get to school. I'd probably be late every day to school because I'd be stopping for shells 🤣 Thanks for watching
Well that drive over the Dunedin causeway looked familiar! I take it about 3 times a week!😂 Taking the ferry over from Honeymoon is a fun thing to do. It's a beautiful island. But I don't think the shelling is as good as it used to be. The north end used to always have shells but they don't wash up as much now. Sea floor must have changed... The first big white shell you found I think is an Atlantic fat tellin. That's a hard one to ID cuz it sort of looks like a smooth duck clam. And I think the pinkish shell at 5:25 is a worn cross-hatch Venus clam. Semeles are more round... Pretty pear whelk at 6 min. And there are really lots of long-spined star shells in that area. I see them all the time at Honeymoon. Glad you said to look at the high tide wrack line. Most people don't. I've found some great stuff there. You found a pretty good variety that day! Calico scallops are not that common here either. The live one was cool. You really had a nice quiet day there. Thanks for filming in "my neighborhood"!😊
THIS is awesome. Thanks for all of the valuable info and anecdotes! I also find it crazy that Long spine Star-shells are found this far north in FL. I usually only find them in the Keys and the Caribbean. Oh, and thanks for watching!!
What is a rack line and how did you learn all about the shells, seaweed and all beach relate things? Even though there weren't mountains of shells you found some beauties.
Great questions! The wrack line is a feature on a beach where shells and other material are deposited by the tides. I have been into shell collecting since I was about 11 years old. An actual visit to the beach is the best education in my humble opinion, but books and other online sources can also help you learn and/or reinforce your knowledge. Thanks for watching!
Wow! I was there last May and found nothing. There was no wrack line and nothing in the water. I went back to Honeymoon Island and literally found hundreds of chestnut turbans and their operculums. My first find was a long-spiked star shell that was perfect. I found at least a dozen more in between the rocks that were not quite as perfect but still awesome. I recommend wearing shoes as the rocks are hard on bare feet/soft shoes.
Hi friend, I am originally from northern New England(Maine and NH), but have family that lives in St. Petersburg, Florida so visit as often as I am able! Thanks for watching!
I really love the scenery but you moved too fast and you don’t show enough but I do love seashells and you’re doing a nice job if you could slow down and show more. Thanks.
Beautiful scenery.Best places to visit in Florida. Only to name a few.
loved the burrowing clams, another fun day at the beach ⛱
Catching up with your videos. Thanks for sharing such a great day.
Love the big Bay Scallop and the Purplish Semele. Beautiful day for a long walk on a beautiful beach!
Thanks for watching!

Hi friend, sounds like you enjoyed Caladesi as well... and also that many people left the beach without their shades 😎.
Great day for a beach walk ! Thank you !

Loved the shells, atmospheres, music and love your dog you always have ambiance
Hello! Thank you so much for the great feedback! Yuki loves shelling too! woof
This is on my list of places to go shelling now! Beautiful! Very enjoyable video as always, loved the music! 🐚🎶💕🌞
Highly recommend a visit to Caladesi, if not for shelling, for the serenity alone!
Thanks for watching!
Florida has some of the most beautiful shells.
Florida is indeed one of the best places to collect shells - there's so much biological diversity there!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing and for the treasure hunt.
Stay safe....Janet

Thanks for watching, friend!
Do you think there are more chestnut turbans on honeymoon island or caladesi island? Thank you for sharing!

Hello friend! For some reason there are tons of Chestnut Turbans and Long spined star-shells at Caladesi and Honeymoon.
Thanks so much for watching!
He shut completely 😂 lol
At a loss for words, lol
Hi I absolutely love your videos I'm from Australia and was wondering do you ever sell any of your shells if so is there anyway of contacting you 😊😎😎
Hello! I actually don't sell any of my shells unfortunately. But I do appreciate your viewership on this channel!
You get to travel a lot. I’m just interested where you are from originally?
Hi friend, I am originally from northern New England(Maine and NH), but have family that lives in St. Petersburg, Florida so visit as often as I am able!

Thank you for the great feedback!
I don’t watch videos where people are wearing those masks!
Hi friend, I do appreciate you checking out my content. I hope to see you on future adventures!
