- 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!
The Outer Banks is one of my favorite places to shell. Makes me want to go shelling now ❤
First time seeing one of your videos. Loved it. Small pleasures in life r the best.
Thank you so much for watching!
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'm going to Nags Head in August. This video is definitely getting me prepped to do some shell picking. 🐚 Thanks.
Love the Outer Banks and enjoyed seeing shells I didn't know they had there. Fun video!
Thank you so much! There are some areas in the Outer Banks that can be quite fruitful actually. Thanks for watching! :)
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!
Thank you! Agreed, there were loads of footsteps. I'm surprised I found what I did. That shell pile was something else!
I think those broken welks make great rock garden additions!! You got a good assortment especially those giant sharkeyes. Babyears too!
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 :)
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!
So many scallop shells! My favorites!
I love 'em too!
Wow fun trip! I love the scotch bonnets and the baby’s ears. Great video as always. 🤗🐚🐚🐚🐚
Thanks as always for the support!
What a great find of different shells
Thank you so much for watching :) Seeing those piles was something else!
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! :)
Nice haul. Thanks for sharing. 🏝️
Thanks!
Thanks for reminding me about the name of the scotch bonnet
So miss shelling in Avon, North Carolina
Oh yeah those shells but if you want bonnets or welk or conch shells you gotta know where to go
I pick up broken shells to,still beautiful to me😍🥰😁
Sometimes I cant pass up the broken stuff either :)
Did you walk North or South from ramp 49 to get to the large shell beds?
It was actually east. The alignment of the beach is more east-west than north-south.
what beach is this?
I think its Buxton?
Did you go after a storm?
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.
I love your vid!!🐚🌊🖤
P.s I have a problem with my RUclips account, so it's been restored, but all the comments have been deleted.😮💨👋
Thanks for watching anyway! :)
Go to abandon Portsmouth island to find shells galore.
Definitely on my bucket list!
@@shellstories You have to find someone to take you there.There is only a ranger station and a small airstrip and the remnants of the old town which is deserted.Hope you get there one day.Good hunting.
Why do you throw the shells you don’t want? You never know if someone else might find beauty in it and want to collect it.
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!
