My favorite thing about Plum Island is your personality and outlook on life. Your joy of the beach and shelling there is contagious. When I watch your videos, my heart is full. I feel like I have known you for years. You are so knowledgeable and sincere and your love for what you bring to us all in your videos shines through. Keep that happy smile coming. It brightens my day. Those shells are all pretty special!
Hi Freda! Thanks again for your kind words, the watches, your comments and your order. I really appreciate the support for my venture! I am so glad to be able to share a little slice of Plum Island with you. If you ever get to visit, let me know. ❤️🌊✌️
da da da da.....drum roll...my vote is for the second sharkeye you found!! Absolutely stunning! On the top it looks like creme brule, or coffee with a swirl of white cream. Also you are even better than the postman! Not snow, wind or rain can keep you from shelling. You really need a super heros' cape!❤
Oh! I would love to wear a cape! Haha - It could have a giant moon snail on it! Yes - that 2nd one was awesome! Also - I love your "creme brule" analogy. I am a giant foodie and often compare my finds to food! lol. Thank you so much for watching!!!
What I love best about Plum Island is the diversity of the shells! I have never seen shells like these coming from the west coast. They are beautiful! 🐚
Yes! We get a lot of different shells here! ❤️ but...I am in love with the west coast sand dollars and especially the fossilized ones! I hope to make a trip one day to find them!! Thanks so much for watching!!
Love the fact that you aren’t afraid of the cold to hit the beach for shelling. Thank you for sharing your beach with all of the chickens that to scared of the cold, burr.
Hi Lisa! No matter the weather, we are like postal workers...rain, sleet, snow, blizzards...no matter the weather, we shell!! Thanks so much for watching!
I am so in love with the different shells that are found on beaches all over the world. I love the views from the island and the ways that the ocean reacts in the different seasons. It is truly beautiful there.
Hi Tina! Yesssssss!!! That dolphin vertebrae - good thing I had my sister with me! That was a great score! And the shark eyes were a first for me! We don't get those that far north on Plum Island. What a fun trip! Looking forward to more beach fun! Thanks for coming along my friend!
I love starting my morning w With a video from you. It is like a visit back to my childhood. My grandmothers we're in Massachusetts and Maine. We moved to Florida when I was 6 and have lived near the water the whole 68 years we have lived here. I have learned from you that although Plum island has beautiful plum colored sand it is named for the incredible plums that grow on the island . I would give anything to be able to spend time on your incredible island and watch the patterns the tides and wind make on the sand. I guess I will to be content to enjoy your videos and vicariously go back home. Someone said you can never go home again but now thanks to U-tube you can .
I love this so much and I am so happy that through the magic of RUclips and the internet, I can transport you back. I will be doing some videos in Maine as well so be sure to watch for those too ❤️ Thank you so much for tuning in! 😊
I have been watching 👀 you for 2 weeks I have learned so much. I am also amazed that you 🐚 in the coldest weather..& the shells are frozen to the rocks. So cool. Love the purple sand 💜 TY
Hi Kathryn! Thank you so much for watching! Yes - I love shelling in all of the elements! Especially on snowy winter days! That is when I find my best shells! And yes, that purple sand is so lush! I have Part 2 of this adventure coming soon! Stay tuned!
The best thing about Plum Island is that you take the time to film all the wonderful treasures that the island has to offer. I love the big moonies, shells are so fascinating :)
Hi Vicki! Thank you so much! I love being able to share all the magic of the Island! Thank YOU for taking the time to watch! And yes, those big moons! Total moon swoon every time!
I love when you go shelling after major storms when you find the huge moon snails and the swirls of different colours 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 ohhh and also the purple in the sand x
Hey Julie from the UK! Thanks for joining me again 🤗 I super appreciate the support! Yes! Storms! I am waiting for the next storm to hit to drive back to the Cape to hopefully score a nice fat whelk! That would be AMAZING! So stay tuned for that! Also...yes - agreed...that lush purple sand! 💜
Hi Tammy! Those deep water shells are seriously show stoppers. When I am shelling and I see one, my heart explodes. Haha. Nature is bananas! Thank you so much for coming along on my adventures!
Hi Annetta! Yes - that plum color sand is 😍 dreamy! And the Island is a little slice of heaven. I am so glad I can share it with you 🌊✌💜Thank you so much for watching!
I’ve learned so much! That it doesn’t have to be warm and sunny to go shelling. I’ve learned about wampum and made a jar for a Keeper of the Wampum that I know. My favorite thing I’ve learned is that rose quartz and garnet are the reason for the purple-looking sand on Plum Island. So pretty!! Beaches don’t have to have white sand to be pretty. I’ve learned that I need to consider other locations than Florida for my shelling vacations. Thank you, Jaime, for sharing your walks and knowledge with us!!
Hi Kathy! Thank you so much for watching!! I really appreciate you always tuning into my videos and commenting! I love that you made a wampum jar! There were so many purple quahogs this past weekend! Not many smooth bits, but I collected some of the whole shell. So pretty! Yes - most people I talk to only think about warm water places to shell, but are now excited to discover Plum Island! I am so happy to give people more shelling opportunities for some great finds! Thank you so much for coming along on my adventures! Shell well my friend and I will see you next time we hit the beach!
Oh my! So easy!! I LOVE those giant blue deep water snail shells you find. That and the fact that you normally have the entire beach to yourself while you're filming. Thanks Jaimie!😍
Hi G.G.!! 👋 So good to see you here! Yes...quiet beach days are my favorite which is why I love to beach in bad weather so much. Hahaha. Thank you for always adventuring with me! See you next week on the beach dear friend!
Hi Linda! When you get a chance, look them up on RUclips...they are fascinating- especially how they burrow into the bottom of the ocean floor. Thabks so much for watching!
As a native Floridian, it was a surprise to learn there are blue shells and purple sand. I love them! Those tiny whelks are soooo cute. Thank you for braving the cold to find such fascinating things like the vertebrae. Stay safe!
Hey Sandy! Thank you and thanks for tuning into my adventures! There are so many cool things about the Island and yes...those baby whelks on the cape last weekend. Amazing! I can't wait to head back after a storm! Stay tuned for more videos!
My favorite thing I’ve learned is that the sand is purple! My very favorite color is purple! Thank you for sharing your piece of Heaven with all of us!
Hi Tina!!! How are you my shell friend? My favorite color is blue and then purple so with those large blue moons and the purple sand I am for sure in heaven! Haha. You are so very welcome! Thank YOU for watching! I super appreciate you!
What I love most about Plumb Island shelling is the interesting and informative facts that you share. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I am new to shelling and admire your dedication in all kinds of weather, day or night to shelling and sharing your adventures with us. Thank you!
Hi Jaime! Love the finds! So cool! To pick one would be like picking your favorite child. Lol. But here goes… thinking the purple sand and the large moon snails are my favorites ~. Didn’t know they existed. Love that you take the time to explain and research your finds. Thanks and happy shelling!!!!
Hi Susan! Happy Shelling to you too! An thank you so much for watching! Haha - it is hard to pick just one! When I try I think XL moons, but then the markings and colors on the dog whelks are just as amazing! Haha. Oh well - good thing we really don't have to choose and we can keep finding them all :) See you next week on the beach!
I'm originally from Massachusetts but I now live in Virginia. Plum Island is Beautiful. I think the thing I love about Plum Island is watching your channel and seeing all the beautiful shells and sand dollars you find. My favorite are the huge moon snail shells you find. Thank you for sharing. I do miss Massachusetts.
Hi Deborah! I am so glad I can bring you back to Massachusetts via the interwebs! Where are you from in Massachusetts? Thank you sommuch for watching ❤️
The best thing about plum island is you! You give us so much information about all the things on the island. My favorite shell is the big moon snails! Love your videos! Thank you!❤️
You are so nice to me 🤗❤️🥰 Thank you so much. I am so grateful for everyone watching ❤️ I appreciate the support and I am so glad I can pass along what I research and learn about shells and the Island. 🌊✌️ more giant moons and purple sand to be found this some. Thanks for coming along in my adventures!!
I’m in Oklahoma and haven’t a chance to go shelling but I absolutely love EVERYTHING about Plum Island. I especially love the dog whelks and moon snails. This is April 21st and tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 73. I am trying to go back and watch all of the videos.❤ Wow!
Hi Merry! I am so sorry it's taken me so long to reply! Happy Birthday to you!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Thanks so much for watching my friend!
There are so many cool things you’ve taught me on this channel. From the plum sand, to those huge moon snails with the blue colors that blew the mind of this girl who does most of her shelling in Florida where a large gaudy nautica or shark eye is a fraction of the size. You’ve inspired me to want to come to Plum Island to try to find those, as well as the beautiful deep sea scallops. It also never dawned on this Minnesota girl that you could shell in snow. 🤯 I know you said to mention one favorite thing, but there are so many. Thanks for everything you’ve taught, and continue to teach me!
Hi Michelle! Thank you so much for tuning in and adventuring with me! Yes...shelling in the snow is a blast as long as you are dressed for it. Most days I have 3 or 4 shirts on and 2 to 3 pairs of pants! Sometimes I have a hard time bending for the shells I have so many layers! Haha. Yes! Come for a visit! Ve share to check before you book. Right now the beaches are closed for nesting plovers. They open again in August and September is an amazing time to come for shells! You can always email me for shell locations too! Reachbiut when you are ready! Thanks again for the support!
Thank you! I didn’t even think of that. I know Shell Island in the Ten Thousand Islands is closed for bird nesting season, but I guess beaches didn’t even cross my mind. You taught me something new today! I’m working on my husband to see if he’ll come with me. I finally got him into shelling this year and he loves history, so I’m hoping he’ll want to come with me. If not, I’ll have to see about a solo or girls trip. Thank you so much again for all you teach us and for the fun of virtually joining you on your adventures! 😊
Hi Lesa! Yes - every now and again we get a ton of sand dollars wash up all at once! It's like a strange phenomenon! I love it. Same thing happens with those large Deep Atlantic Sea Scallop shells! So many great treasures! Thank you so much for watching!
The very most favorite thing I learned from watching you, not necessarily about plum island, is that we have sea horses! I grew up on the ocean here and never knew we had them!
Hey there friend! Yesssss! Now if we can find one, that would be amazing! We need a seahorse detector instead of a metal detector ;) Maybe we would have better luck! lol I am hopeful and I really do think we will find one! Thanks for always coming along on my adventures!
Hi Dan! The shells and nature on the island are truly mind blowing. Thank you so much for tuning in and checking out my channel! I really appreciate it. New beach adventure coming soon!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin hi. I am actually dans wife laura. Using the email this iPad set up when he got it with the purchase of his phone. Anyways just thought I would let you know i enjoy. As we are in the Midwest and are farmers we dont get to experience walks on the beach. If we could I would b a shelloholic! Watching your video s gives me a feeling like I'm finding them too. I enjoy watching 👀 you on your ventures. Laura
Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!!! I learned Plum Island is a great place to vacation!!! Plum island has a lot of shells I can’t find in Texas!!! I learned Plum island is darn cold in the winter! Lastly you have the biggest moon snails I have ever seen!!! Plus… we have you to educate us!!!💞🎉
Hi there my friend! Yes - the giveaway! I love doing them so fun and the dog whelk jar is chock full. I didn't get a full video clip of it, but I almost couldn't get the cork in! Haha. Thanks for always joining me on my beach journeys! Part 2 is coming soon!
I've learned how the same ocean can spew out the same shells but with different sizes and appearances than other areas. Also....the fabulous purple sands. Would love a small jar of that, as well
Yesssss! Isn't that amazing? Same shells, slightly different look depending on the area 🥰 and yes...that deep purple sand 💜 Thank you so, so much for watching Merrie!
I have learned all about dog welks and other shells. Never knew thier were so many different shells. The big snail shells are so pretty ! Thank you for all your hard work ! 😁
Hi KitKat! Thank you so much for watching and you are so very welcome! Yes - we are lucky because we get a wide variety of shells here on the Island! And yes - those dog whelks are becoming a favorite of mine! I love all the banded ones and all the colors they come in!
Hi Joyce! Thank you so much for watching and tell your grandchild hello from me ✌️🌊🙌 I love that you watch together! I am with my family this week too! My nephew is having a blast shelling and checking out all the sea creatures! So much fun!!
I never knew that Plum Island had such beautiful scallops and huge moon snails and the unique purple sand! Most of all though I did not realize the beauty of nature that exists there even in the middle of freezing cold weather!
I've learned that no matter the weather, shelling can be done, n there are always super cool surprizes!!! You are so informative n I love it when you share your knowledge with us. You always brighten my day!
Thank you so much Ann! You brighten my day too! Thank you so much for watching! And yes...the snowy, rainy and cold days are the best days to shell! There are always beach treasures to be found! Thanks so much for coming along on my beach adventures! ✌️🌊❤️
Hi Julie! Yes! The whelk egg casings are so cool. It's amazing how small they start out! I am excited to head back after a storm to gets some larger storm whelks! Hopefully we will get a little bit of weather soon! Thanks so much for watching!!
I love that Plum Island has purple sand! So fitting isn't it! What I have learned about Plum Island through watching your videos is that there are more interesting finds, places to explore, and creatures to find than I thought. I did not realize that Plum Island is where all the sandollars are at either 😉 Love the videos and education as always!
Hi Melissa! Thank you so much for watching! Yes...so many sand dollars! Sand dollars for days! I love searching the Emerson Rocks for them! We will have to wait until Fall now since the beach is closed for plovers until August. But...that will give us something to look forward to. Thanks again for watching!
The favorite thing I've learned about Plum Island is how beautiful NE beaches can be especially for shelling as so many mistakenly believe the southern beaches are the only beaches to find great shells.
Hi Jaunita! Thank you so much for watching! Yes - I didn't realize until I started this channel that most shellers go tropical. It's fun to see how many shellers are shocked at the shells we find here in NE. It's a little more challenging to find them here, but that makes it that much more rewarding when you hit a big score! Thank you so much for tuning in and coming along on my adventures!
Hi Patricia! Yes -- come to the Island for a visit. Be sure to check if the beaches are open 1st. They close for nesting plovers until August, but fall is really an amazing time to visit! Thank you so much for watching and if you do plan a trip, hit me up in email!
I absolutely LOVE those huge moon snail shells you get up there! I also love your purple sand! And in this video, this is the first time I've seen those baby whelks!!
Hey Carrie! How is your class going? Hope all is well! Thanks for always adventuring with me! Yesssss! Those baby whelks were worth the drive to the Cape for sure! I love seeing shells and things we don't get this far north on the island! Cool right? I am excited to go back after the next storm! Thanks for always tuning in!!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin My 8th graders are doing great! Getting to the last quarter of the year! Can't wait for summer. Hoping I can get to some shore points to go shelling! I started watching shelling videos over the winter, and I've been itching to get out there! I'm not built for the cold. I'll leave that to hardy stock like you. LOL. I give you a LOT of credit! But once I have more time on my hands, and weather is nice and warm, all bets are off!
Hello First let me tell you how exciting it is to shell with you. It’s always fun. The treasure hunt never gets old of. I live in Florida and my passion is shelling. What I have learned from watching your videos is the northern moon snail. I never new such beautiful and Hugh moon snail’s excited. I find many shark eyes in Florida some pretty big, but the moon snails you find are amazing. Thank you for taking me shelling with you. Look forward to future hunts.
Hi Merrie! Thanks so much for coming along on my adventures! Can you believe that the northern moon in some places in Canada can reach up to 6"? Whoa. The largest one I've found on the Island was 4.25". Incredible! I would love to find a 6" Moon! I am heading down to do some Florida shelling later this month! I am excited! Thanks so much for supporting my channel with your views! I super appreciate it!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin There are some great shelling beaches here. Panama City beaches, Marco Island shelling tours, Pass a grille beach in St. Pete’s, and of course Sanibel beaches. Hope you take home many treasures.
I used to think that shells from the northern Atlantic coast were kind of dull and boring! No more! I have been enchanted by the shells that you find and absolutely love the large shark eyes/moon shells and deep sea scallops! I love to watch your videos!
Hi Pamela! Thank you so much! Yes...I love both warm water and cold water shelling, but what I really love abiut cold water shelling is the strategy thatbis involved. On warm water beaches it seems shells are in abundance, but here you have to really do some research and watch the tides, surf forcast and know where to look. Inlike the challenge and it makes hitting a big shell score that much sweeter! 🥰 thank you so much for watching!!
Hi Mary! I love the pic you posted on Facebook! Yes! You for sure have to visit and collect some giant moons for your collection. Thanks for always showing my channel some love! Shell well my friend!
O my goodness!! I have to tell you I love my Plum Island Tie-die shirt & small shell art jar that I got in my order!! Your Shop is 🤩 🤩🙌🤩🙌🤩Amazing!! I just had to order the Hoodie today its to cool to pass up 🙌🤩🌀🌀 I love your videos, I’ve learned so much information about the ocean life from you. Thank you for FUN & Education 🤩🌀🌊☀️🐚🐚
Hey Shaney!! I am so happy to hear this! Thank you so much for your orders and all of your support with my RUclips channel and shop 🥰🤗 the tie dyed sweatshirt is my favorite and it's my new favorite shelling shirt! Thank you so much for watching! I will have your sweatshirt shipped out asap! I'll also add a little surprise in there for you too! 😉
My favorite thing that I've learned from watching your channel is that the shark eye shells I collected for years get BIG up there on Cape Cod! I never knew they grew larger than a couple inches, tops! Thanks for opening my eyes to the world outside the Gulf of Mexico!
Yes! And can you believe that in CA they can grow to be over 5"!? I hope to shell there someday and find a mega moon that big! Thanks for coming along on my adventures!!
Hi Rosie! Yes - cold water shells and warm water shells are so different and I love them both for so many reasons! It's so fun to be able to go to different areas and hunt for different shells! Thank you so much for watching!
I actually never knew that plum island had purple sand! Makes sense! I love the cape!! Those baby whelks that you got out of the egg casing were so cute!!
Hi Joy! I am going to be ordering more long sleeves! They seem to be a favorite! Also - where are you from? Maybe you will need to plan a shell trip! Whoohoo! Thank you so much for watching!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin I live north of Pittsburgh. This ocean lover is landlocked. 😞 I try to make it to a beach once or twice a year. So relaxing watching you shell.
I've seen the Mermaid Purses before but never knew what they were called or what animal they were to. Never realized how many different kinds of seaweed there was! Very cool to learn about the purple sand and how the Island got is name😁. Northern snails are 👍 awesome. Very cool that you get them on the Island 😍. They are absolutely ❤️ beautiful. Hooray for your first shark eye! Looks like you had a blast. Love how you teach us about all the shells and more Can't wait to hear who wins👍
Hi Matt! Thanks for coming along on my adventure!! Yes...those skate eggs are awesome. If you get a chance, Google "baby skate fish" you need the "fish" or roller skates will come up. Lol. But they are very cute and look like they are smiling! :) There is so much magic on Plum Island. Thank you so much for continuing to watch my videos! I appreciate all the support! Shell well my friend!
Good for you, Jaime!! Fantastic finds! It is always such great fun to find your "firsts" - and you had 3 that fit that category in this video! The colors on both the shark eyes and the inside of the whelk were beautiful! I have to say the dolphin/whale vertebra part was my favorite ... that's my kind of cookie!!
Hello my dear friend! I was so excited to finally find a whelk! I am excited to go back after a storm to see if I can find a bigger one! And yes! That dolphin vertebrae is so cool! My mom sent me an article about them a month or so ago. I never thought we would find one! And yes! My sister went in the water too 🤣 it was a great weekend!!
Look forward to your videos and that your not afraid of the snow, rain or bad weather to bring us your videos. It's fun to see the passion you have doing these videos. Great job and please keep the videos coming ❤️
Hi Ruby! Yes - we are lucky to get a wide variety here in Plum Island. Many beaches have only a few different types of shells, but here it's like each section of coastline has a new shell to discover! Thanks so much for watching!
I love learning about all the different kinds shells that you find. My favorite shell is the moon shells. I enjoy going on the treasure hunt with you in every video. Keep up the great videos.
Hi Jeff! Thank you so much! Yes...inlove the hunt too! So many cool shells to find and maybe someday we will stumble upon a chest full of gold. You never know. It's happened before! We could get lucky! Thanks for watching and see you next week on the beach!
Hi Miriam! Me too! I have to say I think the XL Moons are my favorite! Although a fully intact New England Neptune is right up there too! Thank you so much for watching. We have so much more beaching to do! Stay tuned!
Oh Jaime! I've learned so much! Where to begin? I learned about the golden fibers that mussels use to bind to rocks, other shells and each other. That these fibers were once used to make clothing. And how the mussels grow in beds on the sea floor, and provide shelter for other critters. And that the dark blue moon snails and huge scallops come from the deep waters and are more easily found after nor'easters. And an abundance of other things! I have a much better understanding of shore ecology than before. So thank you! Hugs from Virginia.
Hi Karleen! Hugs to you my friend! Hey - did you ever check out that link i shared with you about the woman in Italy that makes the clothing out of Byssus? If you haven't watched yet, check it out, it's incredible! Thank you for always tuning in my friend!
Love watching your channel. It's nice how you explain what kind of shells you find. I also enjoyed when you showed and talked about the purple sand 💜 my favorite color. You do a great job filming under certain weather conditions and it shows how much you enjoy it.
Hi Maria! Thank you so much for watching! Yes - the conditions are so tough and I am trying to work on my audio skills! Sometimes the wind and rain are so loud I can't even hear myself out there - haha. Thank you for noticing! I love sharing the info I learn about shells and the ocean. I try to make the channel fun and informative. Thank you so much for watching and yes - that purple sand 😍
I love all the different shells that you find, I would love to be able to do it!! I'm 65 and disabled and it makes me so happy to be able to see and learn the different types of shells you find!!!!
Hey there! Thank you so much for watching! I love that the magic of RUclips let's me take you adventuring with me! The beach is amazing, but always better with friends! Shell Crew✌️ stay tuned...part 2 of this Cape Adventure is coming soon! Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Chris! Yes - the plums are really interesting and small compared to regular plums! Google a pic if you get a chance! They are cool to see. Thanks for always taking the time to watch! Part 2 of this weekend is coming soon!
I learned that on Plum Island that it has purple sand and to dress warm to go shelling there. I love the moon shell that you sent me. I show everyone that comes to my house.
Hi Missy! I am so glad you love it. I love to be able to share shells and info with people from all over the world. When I started this channel I never imagined it would turn into what it's become. I love our shell crew! Thanks so much for being a part of it!
Love seeing all the unique shells from Plum Island that I can’t find in Florida. Also gives me great ideas for when we vacation up north. Plum Island is definitely on my radar!
Hi Alison! Yes - I love the contrast between warm water shells and cold water shells! So fun to build a collection of both! Thank you so much for watching! Much appreciated!
That was an awesome video! The shells are beautiful! What I like is that you not only give us the name of the shell but also the science about the shell and it's habitat! Very educational. Keep picking up the beach bling!
Hi Mary! Yes! The bleach bling! I love that :) I've never heard it called that before ❤️ yes! I try to research as much as I can and pass along what I learn 🤗 so much good stuff to learn. Science is amazing 😍
Hi Allison! Yes - so lush and the color is so saturated when it's wet. I stare at it for at least 5 minutes each time I see it on the beach! lol. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for taking us along on your shelling trip. My favorite thing I learned about on Plum Island is definitely the snail shells they are absolutely beautiful. We can find snail shells on our beaches here too but yours are gigantic and beautifully colored. I just love them.
Although I was born and raised in New England, I never understood where Plum Island got its name. I was so excited when I learned about the purple sand and the plum trees that grow there. Thank you for solving that life-long puzzle for me.

Hi , my favorite thing I learned was the plum colored sand! Very cool!
Today I learned that Plum Island has beautiful shells and beautiful people. I need to visit there soon
I learned about Mondo shark eyed shells.
I love the rocks on plum island, they hide funtastic treasures!❤
Sooooo many treasures!
My favorite thing about Plum Island is your personality and outlook on life. Your joy of the beach and shelling there is contagious. When I watch your videos, my heart is full. I feel like I have known you for years. You are so knowledgeable and sincere and your love for what you bring to us all in your videos shines through. Keep that happy smile coming.

My favorite thing about Plum Island is the fact that the sand is actually a plum color! So beautiful!
Definitely one of my favorite things about the island too! For sure! 💜✌🌊
My favorite thing about Plum Island is learning that the sand is actually a beautiful Plum color!
Hi Mabel! I do love that purple sand! It sure is amazing to see against the beige dunes and blue sky! Thanks for coming along on this weeks adventure!
That Shark Eye is the most beautiful one I have ever seen! Wow!
Did you see how chocolate-y it is? I am such a foodie - all of my comparisons are food related! Haha. But it did look delicious!
da da da da.....drum roll...my vote is for the second sharkeye you found!! Absolutely stunning! On the top it looks like creme brule, or coffee with a swirl of white cream. Also you are even better than the postman! Not snow, wind or rain can keep you from shelling. You really need a super heros' cape!❤
Oh! I would love to wear a cape! Haha - It could have a giant moon snail on it! Yes - that 2nd one was awesome! Also - I love your "creme brule" analogy. I am a giant foodie and often compare my finds to food! lol. Thank you so much for watching!!!
What I love best about Plum Island is the diversity of the shells! I have never seen shells like these coming from the west coast. They are beautiful! 🐚
Yes! We get a lot of different shells here! ❤️ but...I am in love with the west coast sand dollars and especially the fossilized ones! I hope to make a trip one day to find them!! Thanks so much for watching!!
Love the fact that you aren’t afraid of the cold to hit the beach for shelling. Thank you for sharing your beach with all of the chickens that to scared of the cold, burr.
Hi Lisa! No matter the weather, we are like postal workers...rain, sleet, snow, blizzards...no matter the weather, we shell!! Thanks so much for watching!
I am so in love with the different shells that are found on beaches all over the world. I love the views from the island and the ways that the ocean reacts in the different seasons. It is truly beautiful there.
Hi Michelle! It really is a magical place! Thank you so much for watching!
My favorite thing about Plum Island is that it is so rustic and untouched. So much to explore and the shells are gorgeous.
Hi Judy! Yes...agreed. there aren't many beaches left that aren't developed. It really is a little slice of heaven!!
Oh my goodness….those itty bitty tiny shells, and wow that dolphin vertebrae! What pretty shark eyes too.
Hi Tina! Yesssssss!!! That dolphin vertebrae - good thing I had my sister with me! That was a great score! And the shark eyes were a first for me! We don't get those that far north on Plum Island. What a fun trip! Looking forward to more beach fun! Thanks for coming along my friend!
I love it when you shell after major storms and find the large moon shells with all the different colours x☠️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yes! I can't wait to head back to the Cape after the next big storm and hopefully score a large whelk!
I love starting my morning w
With a video from you. It is like a visit back to my childhood. My grandmothers we're in Massachusetts and Maine. We moved to Florida when I was 6 and have lived near the water the whole 68 years we have lived here. I have learned from you that although Plum island has beautiful plum colored sand it is named for the incredible plums that grow on the island . I would give anything to be able to spend time on your incredible island and watch the patterns the tides and wind make on the sand. I guess I will to be content to enjoy your videos and vicariously go back home. Someone said you can never go home again but now thanks to U-tube you can .
I love this so much and I am so happy that through the magic of RUclips and the internet, I can transport you back. I will be doing some videos in Maine as well so be sure to watch for those too ❤️ Thank you so much for tuning in! 😊
I have been watching 👀 you for 2 weeks I have learned so much. I am also amazed that you 🐚 in the coldest weather..& the shells are frozen to the rocks. So cool. Love the purple sand 💜 TY
Hi Kathryn! Thank you so much for watching! Yes - I love shelling in all of the elements! Especially on snowy winter days! That is when I find my best shells! And yes, that purple sand is so lush! I have Part 2 of this adventure coming soon! Stay tuned!
The best thing about Plum Island is that you take the time to film all the wonderful treasures that the island has to offer. I love the big moonies, shells are so fascinating :)
Hi Vicki! Thank you so much! I love being able to share all the magic of the Island! Thank YOU for taking the time to watch! And yes, those big moons! Total moon swoon every time!
I love when you go shelling after major storms when you find the huge moon snails and the swirls of different colours 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 ohhh and also the purple in the sand x
Hey Julie from the UK! Thanks for joining me again 🤗 I super appreciate the support! Yes! Storms! I am waiting for the next storm to hit to drive back to the Cape to hopefully score a nice fat whelk! That would be AMAZING! So stay tuned for that! Also...yes - agreed...that lush purple sand! 💜
I love the beauty of the island and especially those deep water shells 🐚 😊
Hi Tammy! Those deep water shells are seriously show stoppers. When I am shelling and I see one, my heart explodes. Haha. Nature is bananas! Thank you so much for coming along on my adventures!
I have learned that Plum Island has the most beautiful plum-colored sand and fantastic shells and a wonderful wildlife sanctuary.
Hi Annetta! Yes - that plum color sand is 😍 dreamy! And the Island is a little slice of heaven. I am so glad I can share it with you 🌊✌💜Thank you so much for watching!
I’ve learned so much! That it doesn’t have to be warm and sunny to go shelling. I’ve learned about wampum and made a jar for a Keeper of the Wampum that I know. My favorite thing I’ve learned is that rose quartz and garnet are the reason for the purple-looking sand on Plum Island. So pretty!! Beaches don’t have to have white sand to be pretty.
I’ve learned that I need to consider other locations than Florida for my shelling vacations.
Thank you, Jaime, for sharing your walks and knowledge with us!!
Hi Kathy! Thank you so much for watching!! I really appreciate you always tuning into my videos and commenting! I love that you made a wampum jar! There were so many purple quahogs this past weekend! Not many smooth bits, but I collected some of the whole shell. So pretty! Yes - most people I talk to only think about warm water places to shell, but are now excited to discover Plum Island! I am so happy to give people more shelling opportunities for some great finds! Thank you so much for coming along on my adventures! Shell well my friend and I will see you next time we hit the beach!
Oh my! So easy!! I LOVE those giant blue deep water snail shells you find. That and the fact that you normally have the entire beach to yourself while you're filming. Thanks Jaimie!😍
Hi G.G.!! 👋 So good to see you here! Yes...quiet beach days are my favorite which is why I love to beach in bad weather so much. Hahaha. Thank you for always adventuring with me! See you next week on the beach dear friend!
Ive never even heard of jacknife clams. How unusual!! Love all the beautifully colored scallops.🏖
Hi Linda! When you get a chance, look them up on RUclips...they are fascinating- especially how they burrow into the bottom of the ocean floor. Thabks so much for watching!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin wow! I did. They are fasinating the way their foot propels them and also can make them jump! Thanks again!!!
@@hellofromUSA062 Yes! They are so cool! 😎 you are so welcome!
As a native Floridian, it was a surprise to learn there are blue shells and purple sand. I love them! Those tiny whelks are soooo cute.
Thank you for braving the cold to find such fascinating things like the vertebrae. Stay safe!
Hey Sandy! Thank you and thanks for tuning into my adventures! There are so many cool things about the Island and yes...those baby whelks on the cape last weekend. Amazing! I can't wait to head back after a storm! Stay tuned for more videos!
My favorite thing I’ve learned is that the sand is purple! My very favorite color is purple! Thank you for sharing your piece of Heaven with all of us!
Hi Tina!!! How are you my shell friend? My favorite color is blue and then purple so with those large blue moons and the purple sand I am for sure in heaven! Haha. You are so very welcome! Thank YOU for watching! I super appreciate you!
I love the giant moon snails❤️ beautiful different colors
So many wonderful colors. Nature is the most talented artist in the world! Thank you so much for watching!!
What I love most about Plumb Island shelling is the interesting and informative facts that you share. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I am new to shelling and admire your dedication in all kinds of weather, day or night to shelling and sharing your adventures with us. Thank you!
Hi Sharon!! Thank you so much ❤️ thanks for coming along on mynbeach adventures with me! I really appreciate you tuning in for the fun 😀
I love the big, very big moon snails and the purple sand. It’s just a really beautiful place.
Hi Melanie! Yes...it truly is a magical place! And that purple sand 😍
Hi Jaime! Love the finds! So cool! To pick one would be like picking your favorite child. Lol. But here goes… thinking the purple sand and the large moon snails are my favorites ~. Didn’t know they existed. Love that you take the time to explain and research your finds. Thanks and happy shelling!!!!
Hi Susan! Happy Shelling to you too! An thank you so much for watching! Haha - it is hard to pick just one! When I try I think XL moons, but then the markings and colors on the dog whelks are just as amazing! Haha. Oh well - good thing we really don't have to choose and we can keep finding them all :) See you next week on the beach!
I've learned so much but the most unique is the sand. The saturation of garnets that make up its color and moon snail galore. I really do love them.
Moon snails galore! Yesssssss!!! I love this! and that lush sand - yep...my favorite too!
I'm originally from Massachusetts but I now live in Virginia. Plum Island is Beautiful. I think the thing I love about Plum Island is watching your channel and seeing all the beautiful shells and sand dollars you find. My favorite are the huge moon snail shells you find. Thank you for sharing. I do miss Massachusetts.
Hi Deborah! I am so glad I can bring you back to Massachusetts via the interwebs! Where are you from in Massachusetts? Thank you sommuch for watching ❤️
I'm from Westport. Born and raised there.
The best thing about plum island is you! You give us so much information about all the things on the island. My favorite shell is the big moon snails! Love your videos! Thank you!❤️
You are so nice to me 🤗❤️🥰 Thank you so much. I am so grateful for everyone watching ❤️ I appreciate the support and I am so glad I can pass along what I research and learn about shells and the Island. 🌊✌️ more giant moons and purple sand to be found this some. Thanks for coming along in my adventures!!
Barnacles on the whelk bring character - congrats
Great find with dolphin vertebra
Hi Bonnie! Yes - agreed! Rustic and salty! Love those new England vibes!
I’m in Oklahoma and haven’t a chance to go shelling but I absolutely love EVERYTHING about Plum Island. I especially love the dog whelks and moon snails. This is April 21st and tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 73. I am trying to go back and watch all of the videos.❤ Wow!
Hi Merry! I am so sorry it's taken me so long to reply! Happy Birthday to you!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Thanks so much for watching my friend!
There are so many cool things you’ve taught me on this channel. From the plum sand, to those huge moon snails with the blue colors that blew the mind of this girl who does most of her shelling in Florida where a large gaudy nautica or shark eye is a fraction of the size. You’ve inspired me to want to come to Plum Island to try to find those, as well as the beautiful deep sea scallops. It also never dawned on this Minnesota girl that you could shell in snow. 🤯 I know you said to mention one favorite thing, but there are so many. Thanks for everything you’ve taught, and continue to teach me!
Hi Michelle! Thank you so much for tuning in and adventuring with me! Yes...shelling in the snow is a blast as long as you are dressed for it. Most days I have 3 or 4 shirts on and 2 to 3 pairs of pants! Sometimes I have a hard time bending for the shells I have so many layers! Haha. Yes! Come for a visit! Ve share to check before you book. Right now the beaches are closed for nesting plovers. They open again in August and September is an amazing time to come for shells! You can always email me for shell locations too! Reachbiut when you are ready! Thanks again for the support!
Thank you! I didn’t even think of that. I know Shell Island in the Ten Thousand Islands is closed for bird nesting season, but I guess beaches didn’t even cross my mind. You taught me something new today! I’m working on my husband to see if he’ll come with me. I finally got him into shelling this year and he loves history, so I’m hoping he’ll want to come with me. If not, I’ll have to see about a solo or girls trip. Thank you so much again for all you teach us and for the fun of virtually joining you on your adventures! 😊
I love the huge moon snails the purple sand is amazing and the huge scallops and sand dallars every where I love it
Hi Lesa! Yes - every now and again we get a ton of sand dollars wash up all at once! It's like a strange phenomenon! I love it. Same thing happens with those large Deep Atlantic Sea Scallop shells! So many great treasures! Thank you so much for watching!
The very most favorite thing I learned from watching you, not necessarily about plum island, is that we have sea horses! I grew up on the ocean here and never knew we had them!
Hey there friend! Yesssss! Now if we can find one, that would be amazing! We need a seahorse detector instead of a metal detector ;) Maybe we would have better luck! lol I am hopeful and I really do think we will find one! Thanks for always coming along on my adventures!
The blues and beauty of these shells blows my mind. Ty for adding knowledge to your shelling adventures
Hi Dan! The shells and nature on the island are truly mind blowing. Thank you so much for tuning in and checking out my channel! I really appreciate it. New beach adventure coming soon!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin hi. I am actually dans wife laura. Using the email this iPad set up when he got it with the purchase of his phone. Anyways just thought I would let you know i enjoy. As we are in the Midwest and are farmers we dont get to experience walks on the beach. If we could I would b a shelloholic! Watching your video s gives me a feeling like I'm finding them too. I enjoy watching 👀 you on your ventures. Laura
Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!!! I learned Plum Island is a great place to vacation!!! Plum island has a lot of shells I can’t find in Texas!!! I learned Plum island is darn cold in the winter! Lastly you have the biggest moon snails I have ever seen!!! Plus… we have you to educate us!!!💞🎉
Hi there my friend! Yes - the giveaway! I love doing them so fun and the dog whelk jar is chock full. I didn't get a full video clip of it, but I almost couldn't get the cork in! Haha. Thanks for always joining me on my beach journeys! Part 2 is coming soon!
I absolutely love the shark eye moon snails!! Especially the one you found in this video. Wonderful! Thank you!
I was totally moon swooning of that one! Thank you so much for watching!!!
I've learned how the same ocean can spew out the same shells but with different sizes and appearances than other areas. Also....the fabulous purple sands. Would love a small jar of that, as well
Yesssss! Isn't that amazing? Same shells, slightly different look depending on the area 🥰 and yes...that deep purple sand 💜 Thank you so, so much for watching Merrie!
I have learned all about dog welks and other shells. Never knew thier were so many different shells. The big snail shells are so pretty ! Thank you for all your hard work ! 😁
Hi KitKat! Thank you so much for watching and you are so very welcome! Yes - we are lucky because we get a wide variety of shells here on the Island! And yes - those dog whelks are becoming a favorite of mine! I love all the banded ones and all the colors they come in!
Watching with my youngest grandchild, amazing adventure.
Hi Joyce! Thank you so much for watching and tell your grandchild hello from me ✌️🌊🙌 I love that you watch together! I am with my family this week too! My nephew is having a blast shelling and checking out all the sea creatures! So much fun!!
I never knew that Plum Island had such beautiful scallops and huge moon snails and the unique purple sand! Most of all though I did not realize the beauty of nature that exists there even in the middle of freezing cold weather!
Yes...so much beauty! Every during a blizzard! No matter the weather, we shell!! Thank you so much for watching!!
I've learned that no matter the weather, shelling can be done, n there are always super cool surprizes!!! You are so informative n I love it when you share your knowledge with us. You always brighten my day!
Thank you so much Ann! You brighten my day too! Thank you so much for watching! And yes...the snowy, rainy and cold days are the best days to shell! There are always beach treasures to be found! Thanks so much for coming along on my beach adventures! ✌️🌊❤️
I've learned that I need to go to Massachusetts to find a huge moon snail.
I absolutely love the shells you find but the tiny whelks from the egg casing blew me away! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Julie! Yes! The whelk egg casings are so cool. It's amazing how small they start out! I am excited to head back after a storm to gets some larger storm whelks! Hopefully we will get a little bit of weather soon! Thanks so much for watching!!
I love that Plum Island has purple sand! So fitting isn't it! What I have learned about Plum Island through watching your videos is that there are more interesting finds, places to explore, and creatures to find than I thought. I did not realize that Plum Island is where all the sandollars are at either 😉 Love the videos and education as always!
Hi Melissa! Thank you so much for watching! Yes...so many sand dollars! Sand dollars for days! I love searching the Emerson Rocks for them! We will have to wait until Fall now since the beach is closed for plovers until August. But...that will give us something to look forward to. Thanks again for watching!
I think my favorite thing I learned about Plum Island is the purple sand.
Definitely makes the Island that much more magical! Thanks for adventuring with me!
I have learned that I love the moon snails on your island!! So jealous! The scallops are crazy too! Now I see why you brave those temperatures!!
Hi Susan! Yes! Every day is a great beach day here! ...And the more extreme the weather, the better the shell score! Thanks for watching!
All the cool shells that wash up on the beach!!!
There are so many - there are not enough pocket in the world to collect them all 😂 I always need a bigger bag!
Love seeing the purple sand on Plum Island.
Hi Clare! Yes! It truly is magnificent. Thank you so much for watching!
The favorite thing I've learned about Plum Island is how beautiful NE beaches can be especially for shelling as so many mistakenly believe the southern beaches are the only beaches to find great shells.
Hi Jaunita! Thank you so much for watching! Yes - I didn't realize until I started this channel that most shellers go tropical. It's fun to see how many shellers are shocked at the shells we find here in NE. It's a little more challenging to find them here, but that makes it that much more rewarding when you hit a big score! Thank you so much for tuning in and coming along on my adventures!
I love the purple sand. And moonsnails are gorgeous
Those are 2 of my most favorite things about the Island too! Thanks so much for watching Jo!!
Love learning there is purple sand and very colorful moon snails. Thanks for sharing your love of shells 🥰
Hi Bridget! You are so super welcome and thank you so much for tuning in and showing my channel some love!
The favourite thing I’ve learnt about Plum Island is that it’s definitely a place I’d love to visit!! Thanks for another awesome video!! 💕🇦🇺💖🐚🇦🇺
Hi Patricia! Yes -- come to the Island for a visit. Be sure to check if the beaches are open 1st. They close for nesting plovers until August, but fall is really an amazing time to visit! Thank you so much for watching and if you do plan a trip, hit me up in email!
I absolutely LOVE those huge moon snail shells you get up there! I also love your purple sand! And in this video, this is the first time I've seen those baby whelks!!
Hey Carrie! How is your class going? Hope all is well! Thanks for always adventuring with me! Yesssss! Those baby whelks were worth the drive to the Cape for sure! I love seeing shells and things we don't get this far north on the island! Cool right? I am excited to go back after the next storm! Thanks for always tuning in!!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin My 8th graders are doing great! Getting to the last quarter of the year! Can't wait for summer. Hoping I can get to some shore points to go shelling! I started watching shelling videos over the winter, and I've been itching to get out there! I'm not built for the cold. I'll leave that to hardy stock like you. LOL. I give you a LOT of credit! But once I have more time on my hands, and weather is nice and warm, all bets are off!
Hello
First let me tell you how exciting it is to shell with you. It’s always fun. The treasure hunt never gets old of. I live in Florida and my passion is shelling. What I have learned from watching your videos is the northern moon snail. I never new such beautiful and Hugh moon snail’s excited. I find many shark eyes in Florida some pretty big, but the moon snails you find are amazing. Thank you for taking me shelling with you. Look forward to future hunts.
Hi Merrie! Thanks so much for coming along on my adventures! Can you believe that the northern moon in some places in Canada can reach up to 6"? Whoa. The largest one I've found on the Island was 4.25". Incredible! I would love to find a 6" Moon! I am heading down to do some Florida shelling later this month! I am excited! Thanks so much for supporting my channel with your views! I super appreciate it!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin There are some great shelling beaches here. Panama City beaches, Marco Island shelling tours, Pass a grille beach in St. Pete’s, and of course Sanibel beaches. Hope you take home many treasures.
@@merriezahra8747 I am so looking forward to it! It will be interesting not going to the beach in multiple shirts and layers 🤣
I used to think that shells from the northern Atlantic coast were kind of dull and boring! No more! I have been enchanted by the shells that you find and absolutely love the large shark eyes/moon shells and deep sea scallops! I love to watch your videos!
Hi Pamela! Thank you so much! Yes...I love both warm water and cold water shelling, but what I really love abiut cold water shelling is the strategy thatbis involved. On warm water beaches it seems shells are in abundance, but here you have to really do some research and watch the tides, surf forcast and know where to look. Inlike the challenge and it makes hitting a big shell score that much sweeter! 🥰 thank you so much for watching!!
I have learned that Plum Island has the biggest shells that I have ever seen and I can't wait to visit!
Hi Mary! I love the pic you posted on Facebook! Yes! You for sure have to visit and collect some giant moons for your collection. Thanks for always showing my channel some love! Shell well my friend!
O my goodness!! I have to tell you I love my Plum Island Tie-die shirt & small shell art jar that I got in my order!! Your Shop is 🤩 🤩🙌🤩🙌🤩Amazing!! I just had to order the Hoodie today its to cool to pass up 🙌🤩🌀🌀 I love your videos, I’ve learned so much information about the ocean life from you. Thank you for FUN & Education 🤩🌀🌊☀️🐚🐚
Hey Shaney!! I am so happy to hear this! Thank you so much for your orders and all of your support with my RUclips channel and shop 🥰🤗 the tie dyed sweatshirt is my favorite and it's my new favorite shelling shirt! Thank you so much for watching! I will have your sweatshirt shipped out asap! I'll also add a little surprise in there for you too! 😉
I learned that the massive purple and blue moon snails need to be on my list of things to get. Gorgeous!
Hi Heidi! Yes! They are super fun to find! You will love it! Thanks so much for watching!
My favorite thing that I've learned from watching your channel is that the shark eye shells I collected for years get BIG up there on Cape Cod! I never knew they grew larger than a couple inches, tops! Thanks for opening my eyes to the world outside the Gulf of Mexico!
Yes! And can you believe that in CA they can grow to be over 5"!? I hope to shell there someday and find a mega moon that big! Thanks for coming along on my adventures!!
I love watching Plum Island. The shells are so different from the Florida shells. She’ll on Jamie!
Hi Rosie! Yes - cold water shells and warm water shells are so different and I love them both for so many reasons! It's so fun to be able to go to different areas and hunt for different shells! Thank you so much for watching!
You guys have some epic shelling…💜
Hi Ruby! Thanks for watching! Yes - we were so lucky to have so many great finds! Part 2 is coming soon! Stay tuned!
I actually never knew that plum island had purple sand! Makes sense! I love the cape!! Those baby whelks that you got out of the egg casing were so cute!!
They are seriously adorbs! I have a little jar full of them. Cuteness in a bottle! Haha. Thank you so much for watching!
I love that long sleeve. So cute. I’ve learned that I wish I lived closer.
Hi Joy! I am going to be ordering more long sleeves! They seem to be a favorite! Also - where are you from? Maybe you will need to plan a shell trip! Whoohoo! Thank you so much for watching!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin I live north of Pittsburgh. This ocean lover is landlocked. 😞 I try to make it to a beach once or twice a year. So relaxing watching you shell.
@@JoyH_ I am so glad I can take you shelling g with me on RUclips. The beach is so good for the soul ❤️
I love the purple sand on Plum Island. Thanks for the videos, I really enjoy them.
Hi Carla! I too LOVE that sand! So amazing - nature is so beautiful! Thank you for tuning into my channel! I really appreciate the support!
I've seen the Mermaid Purses before but never knew what they were called or what animal they were to. Never realized how many different kinds of seaweed there was! Very cool to learn about the purple sand and how the Island got is name😁. Northern snails are 👍 awesome. Very cool that you get them on the Island 😍. They are absolutely ❤️ beautiful. Hooray for your first shark eye! Looks like you had a blast. Love how you teach us about all the shells and more Can't wait to hear who wins👍
Hi Matt! Thanks for coming along on my adventure!! Yes...those skate eggs are awesome. If you get a chance, Google "baby skate fish" you need the "fish" or roller skates will come up. Lol. But they are very cute and look like they are smiling! :) There is so much magic on Plum Island. Thank you so much for continuing to watch my videos! I appreciate all the support! Shell well my friend!
Good for you, Jaime!! Fantastic finds! It is always such great fun to find your "firsts" - and you had 3 that fit that category in this video! The colors on both the shark eyes and the inside of the whelk were beautiful! I have to say the dolphin/whale vertebra part was my favorite ... that's my kind of cookie!!
PS looks like Tracey is just as crazy as you ... you ladies need some boots! 🤣🤣🤣 I have 2 beach modes - either barefoot or in neoprene/rubber boots
Hello my dear friend! I was so excited to finally find a whelk! I am excited to go back after a storm to see if I can find a bigger one! And yes! That dolphin vertebrae is so cool! My mom sent me an article about them a month or so ago. I never thought we would find one! And yes! My sister went in the water too 🤣 it was a great weekend!!
Look forward to your videos and that your not afraid of the snow, rain or bad weather to bring us your videos. It's fun to see the passion you have doing these videos. Great job and please keep the videos coming ❤️
Hi Kerry! Thanks so much for watching! Hahaha - everyday is a GREAT beach day here! lol. I have part 2 of my Cape Adventure coming soon! Stay tuned!!!
I love all the different varieties…and the purple sand is the best
Hi Ruby! Yes - we are lucky to get a wide variety here in Plum Island. Many beaches have only a few different types of shells, but here it's like each section of coastline has a new shell to discover! Thanks so much for watching!
I saw that the sand is truly purple in places along the beach. That is so cool
Yes....very purple-y. It's nice and saturated. It looks incredible! Thank you so much for watching!
Wow! So many pretty shells and beautiful beaches. Now I know what a shell is!! I'm so glad I,happened upon your channel!
Hi Susan! Thank you so much for tuning in and coming along on my beach adventures! See you next week on the beach!
My most favorite thing about plum Island is the beautiful moon snails!!
Hi Cathy! I have to say mine too! Especially the large blue ones! 😍✌💜🌊
I agree with you and wish I could have one of those!
I love learning about all the different kinds shells that you find. My favorite shell is the moon shells. I enjoy going on the treasure hunt with you in every video. Keep up the great videos.
Hi Jeff! Thank you so much! Yes...inlove the hunt too! So many cool shells to find and maybe someday we will stumble upon a chest full of gold. You never know. It's happened before! We could get lucky! Thanks for watching and see you next week on the beach!
I love the huge moon shells you get to pick up!!
Hi Miriam! Me too! I have to say I think the XL Moons are my favorite! Although a fully intact New England Neptune is right up there too! Thank you so much for watching. We have so much more beaching to do! Stay tuned!
Oh Jaime! I've learned so much! Where to begin? I learned about the golden fibers that mussels use to bind to rocks, other shells and each other. That these fibers were once used to make clothing. And how the mussels grow in beds on the sea floor, and provide shelter for other critters. And that the dark blue moon snails and huge scallops come from the deep waters and are more easily found after nor'easters. And an abundance of other things! I have a much better understanding of shore ecology than before. So thank you! Hugs from Virginia.
Hello 👋 Kathleen, how are you doing?
Hi Karleen! Hugs to you my friend! Hey - did you ever check out that link i shared with you about the woman in Italy that makes the clothing out of Byssus? If you haven't watched yet, check it out, it's incredible! Thank you for always tuning in my friend!
I love the purple sand, never heard/ saw it before your channel. Also, those moonsnails are beautiful 😍
Hi KM! I am so glad you found me! Thank you so much for watching!! Stay tuned for a new video this week!!
I loved learning about the purple sand!!!!! Awesome!
Hi Carlene! Nature and all the colors are amazing right? I am constantly in awe of the beauty!
I love learning about the purple sand!!...it is amazing!

I learned I love the color of the sand 😀
Hi Debra! Me too! That purple really is delicious! Thanks for tuning in!🌊💜✌
Love watching your channel. It's nice how you explain what kind of shells you find. I also enjoyed when you showed and talked about the purple sand 💜 my favorite color. You do a great job filming under certain weather conditions and it shows how much you enjoy it.
Hi Maria! Thank you so much for watching! Yes - the conditions are so tough and I am trying to work on my audio skills! Sometimes the wind and rain are so loud I can't even hear myself out there - haha. Thank you for noticing! I love sharing the info I learn about shells and the ocean. I try to make the channel fun and informative. Thank you so much for watching and yes - that purple sand 😍
I love all the different shells that you find, I would love to be able to do it!! I'm 65 and disabled and it makes me so happy to be able to see and learn the different types of shells you find!!!!
Hey there! Thank you so much for watching! I love that the magic of RUclips let's me take you adventuring with me! The beach is amazing, but always better with friends! Shell Crew✌️ stay tuned...part 2 of this Cape Adventure is coming soon! Thanks so much for watching!
Can't wait to see part 2!!!
My favorite thing I have learned about Plum Island is the purple sand and the eatable plums.
Hi Chris! Yes - the plums are really interesting and small compared to regular plums! Google a pic if you get a chance! They are cool to see. Thanks for always taking the time to watch! Part 2 of this weekend is coming soon!
@@PlumIslandSeaCabin Looking forward to it!
I like the way you explain the different types of things that can be found in New England. And sharing the places to go. Very special. Thanks!
Hello 👋 Karen, how are you doing?
Hi Karen! You are so very welcome! Thanks for tuning in and watching my videos! 🌊💜✌
I learned that on Plum Island that it has purple sand and to dress warm to go shelling there. I love the moon shell that you sent me. I show everyone that comes to my house.
Hi Missy! I am so glad you love it. I love to be able to share shells and info with people from all over the world. When I started this channel I never imagined it would turn into what it's become. I love our shell crew! Thanks so much for being a part of it!
I learned that I'd really like to visit Plum island and that each shell is beautiful in its own way!
Hi Susan! Yes! Definitely trip worthy and yes...all of the shells are beautiful...even the broken ones! 🌊✌️❤️
Love seeing all the unique shells from Plum Island that I can’t find in Florida. Also gives me great ideas for when we vacation up north. Plum Island is definitely on my radar!
Hi Alison! Yes - I love the contrast between warm water shells and cold water shells! So fun to build a collection of both! Thank you so much for watching! Much appreciated!
Love he purple color of the sand and all the sand dollars you find.
Yes!!! That purple sand sure is lush! And the sand dollars - when a bunch wash up at once, it sure is a sight! Thank you so much for watching!
That was an awesome video! The shells are beautiful! What I like is that you not only give us the name of the shell but also the science about the shell and it's habitat! Very educational. Keep picking up the beach bling!
Hi Mary! Yes! The bleach bling! I love that :) I've never heard it called that before ❤️ yes! I try to research as much as I can and pass along what I learn 🤗 so much good stuff to learn. Science is amazing 😍
I love the red sand that only plum island have
It definitely has that maroon look to it! I think the more garnet is has the more red it looks! It's so lush - it amazes me every time I see it. 😍
I learned that purple sand exists and how beautiful it is.
Hi Allison! Yes - so lush and the color is so saturated when it's wet. I stare at it for at least 5 minutes each time I see it on the beach! lol. Thanks for watching!
I learned alot about shells following you, braving the cold is the best time to shell & in the rain
Yes! Everyday is a great beach day! Rain and cold mean more shells for us! Haha. Thanks so much for watching!!
Thanks for taking us along on your shelling trip. My favorite thing I learned about on Plum Island is definitely the snail shells they are absolutely beautiful. We can find snail shells on our beaches here too but yours are gigantic and beautifully colored. I just love them.
Hi my friend! Yes! Those XL large moons! Total moon swoon when I find them! 😍 Thanks so much for watching! 🌊✌💜
Although I was born and raised in New England, I never understood where Plum Island got its name. I was so excited when I learned about the purple sand and the plum trees that grow there. Thank you for solving that life-long puzzle for me.
Hi Jo! You are so super welcome! Thank you for tuning in!!
