  • I made it back! One of my favorite places, and also one of the BEST places to collect shells in North America!
    Come along with me today and we'll take a look at a Queen Conch graveyard, and collect shells on a gorgeous remote beach.
    If you love shell collecting, the ocean, and hikes along the beach, you have landed at the right place. If you can't get to the beach as often as you'd like, or have difficulty getting to the beach... I got you!
    Let's go!

    How beautiful, you're a lucky guy to have been there twice now🤩. Definitely have to put it on my bucket list. The egg cockle and strawberry cockle I've never seen before. So many shells I've never heard of or seen before😍.

    LOL...the closed captioning called them Beaded Perry Wiggles. Might have to start calling them that now. Watching and hoping to head to the Caicos this December!

      Haha, that made me laugh. If you are able to make it to Caicos, you'll have a blast!

    ...the minis are so small but spot on in design...would be scared of finding them and then losing them in transport...lol...!

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  2 года назад

      It's quite a process to pack the small shells when leaving. A lot of small containers - coffee cans work well!
      Thanks for watching!

      This trip was a quick one for me(just a couple of days), but I was able to pack in quite a bit. A few more episodes with colorful beauties coming from the Caicos - stay tuned!

    Hi - I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this, but I find it hard to read the names of the shells when you post it. I think the typeface is really light and depending on the background it’s sometimes nearly invisible.

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  2 года назад

      Hi friend! I definitely appreciate this feedback. I am always trying to make this watching experience as seamless and as enjoyable, as possible. I have been trying new methods with the type and ID'ing shells with the uploads.
      Thanks for coming along!

    omg are they doing something to stop the poaching?

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  2 года назад

      I'm not exactly sure but I believe it's the result of a couple things: over fishing, illegal harvesting and some political inaction.

    Can you take shells from the beaches in Turks and Caicos?

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  Год назад

      I can only speak to my experience - I had no issues taking a couple bags of shells packed carefully in my suitcase.
      Thanks for watching!

    Love your shows, but sound is very poor due to wind and etc, how about voice over to improve quality

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  2 года назад

      Hi friend, thank you for the valued feedback! I have always tried to keep the experience here as authentic and real to life as possible for the viewers and only use voice over if needed. With that said, sometimes the conditions don't cooperate. I'll try to be more mindful of audio clipping going forward!

  • @lisaloy2011
    @lisaloy2011 2 года назад

    In many of your videos, you mention not getting your feet wet, or if they do you go Oops. You're shelling on a beach. Are you allergic to salt water. Maybe where a pair of shin high wellies

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  2 года назад +1

      Interesting observation, lol! I love the ocean water, but many times on these shelling adventures, I am wearing hiking sneakers(that I try my best to keep somewhat dry) as opposed to water shoes.
      Before I plan an adventure, I always have to decide whether I will wear beach shoes or sneakers, the latter is always the go to if hiking a long way on a beach, or if I am unsure of the surrounding environment.
      Thanks for watching!
