Finally found the big shell I been looking for while shelling in South Carolina Huntington Beach

[@kareny2124]

I'm from Pa and I enjoy watching all different videos of people shelling. When I go to FL. That's what I do best

[@inletboy]

I also live in PA and will be heading there tomorrow for few days.. I love shelling but also miss some stuff in PA like Mushroom hunting and fishing. Thanks for watching

[@kalmarfamily6874]

GREAT SAVE, awesome that the young whelk got to live

[@inletboy]

Yes it was!

[@roybond5404]

Fantastic finds , wish I was there with you 😊

[@inletboy]

I am thinking about hitting that beach again soon. It changes all the times. Thanks for watching

[@bonjulien62]

You’re a nice guy😊

[@inletboy]

Thank you and thanks for watching. Today going out again for another adventure. Video soon :)

[@sherrem7951]

Horseshoe crabs molt. I love finding their old shells. They're cool! You found a lot of great treasures.

[@inletboy]

I remember one year in Hunting Island State park where they were all over and on top of each other. Went back the following year then same time and nothing. Will have to go and check it again soon. It was April

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

I truely enjoy your videos but they are so much more enjoyable without that music. Love just listening to the ocean and natural sounds. Stay safe and God bless. Beautiful finds! 🥰🥰🙏

[@freedomwanderer]

Awesome. I took my grand kids there right after the storm and we found a lot of shells as well. Thanks for sharing the names because a lot of times I dont have a clue what they are....lol.

[@inletboy]

What names lol Sometimes I am lost on the beach too. This coming week we going to few new spots. Another video will be uploaded by noon today.

[@freedomwanderer]

@inletboy the shell names or types. I don't know what most them are called. We just call them shells...lol.

[@freedomwanderer]

My shell video will be at 4pm tomorrow. I release videos every Sunday at 4pm.

[@inletboy]

@@freedomwanderer will have to check it.

[@lizblameuser7552]

All of the beautiful olives! My favorites, what a great day of shelling!❤️

[@inletboy]

It was. I am looking forward for tomorrow's trip to a cool place. Thanks for watching

[@ginnamagda5810]

Boy oh boy!!! You had a shellpendous day this walk. So enjoyable. Hello from Virginia Beach. As u pick up trash you could weigh it in at end and see how much per month you relieve the ocean and beach from. Be blessed. Thanks for the walk with beach life

[@inletboy]

Thanks for watching my friend. I try my best to pick up as much trash as I can. I love future generations to enjoy what we have. Thanks again.

[@kathyjund7212]

I just found you too cant wait to see your other videos!

[@inletboy]

Thanks alot.. working on the new videos. I have one from yesterday to work on and upload. It was a cool day. Thanks again

[@janetknight9978]

First time I have found your video. Very much enjoyed. I will be joining you on your shelling walks now. Thanks from Toronto.

[@inletboy]

Thanks for the kind words and watching my videos. I have two new ones that I need to work o. To upload. Thanks again

[@kimverhoef7238]

The tiny wells are absolutely gorgeous!

[@inletboy]

I like them but need to have a jar to put them in otherwise some disappear when I get home. Some end up inside my dryer lol

[@roxymarie17]

Oh i would love to see the jar of "roses" you made from the insides of the whelk shells. You mentioned it at 26:40

[@inletboy]

I think I will do a video soon how to make them. I have few videos that I need to put together and will do that soon. Thanks for watching.

[@helencarr5371]

Welcome aboard!

[@marie-sophie4]

New subscriber from Canada I love beach and shelling videos, I have a small collection from my vacations in the Caribbean and my favourite are the lettered olives. You found some amazing ones and I didn’t know they were South Carolina’s state shells ! How cool ! 😎🐚🦀🐡

[@inletboy]

Thanks neighbor for watching. I can walk the beach all day. Is little cold now but this is the best time for shells. You never know what you find.

[@nikoletastavropoulou5515]

Beautiful shells 🐚 🇬🇷.

[@inletboy]

Thanks.. I love looking at them. Thanks for watching:)

[@nikoletastavropoulou5515]

@@inletboy You're welcome 😊.

[@jalenacapel4160]

Added this beach to my bucket list because of your video. Very nice finds. So many washed up sea stars 😢

[@inletboy]

Is a beautiful walk and sometimes there are no shells at all but this time of year you never know. If you have a boat then there are more places with shells. I had a video not long ago of one of those areas. Tomorrow going to an island that not many people go to and excited. Will try to do a video. Thanks

[@mariecasalino6722]

Love all the shells you found!!

[@inletboy]

Thank you.. Planning to go to other cool shell spots soon and see what I can find. Thanks for watching

[@lorihoezee5353]

I call them shell roses! I even made a beautiful wreath from them!

[@inletboy]

I love them. I think they are cool. Thanks for watching

[@wandadorsey8895]

The orange finger looking thing was a type of coral.

[@inletboy]

Yes.. I guess the storm broke a piece loose.

[@denisedill3552]

Interesting video, I'm from sc

[@inletboy]

Thanks for watching! Shells are all over. :)

[@richardgeary6432]

21:14 is a lightning whelk. 28:10 is a "true tulip".

[@inletboy]

Thanks..I thought I typed the names but I guess I missed some. Look back to my videos from last year where I had huge size lightning whelks. They are prettier when they are small. I always remember the letter "L" in Lightning which the opening is on the Left. Thanks

[@ritadonovan6606]

Great idea, picking garbage. 👍🇨🇦

[@inletboy]

Thanks for the view

[@mariabasham9972]

Time stamp 25:24, bottom right corner was a Wentletrap!!!!

I see it! Good eyes!

[@inletboy]

Have to check it. Thanks

[@Julianne955]

@@inletboy no worries, it's long gone. Wentletraps are the most rare I think. Or the most missed when shelling, lol. You've taken us on some great hunts! Thank you!

[@inletboy]

@@Julianne955 I meant I will go back and check the video :) I am sure is gone at the beach by now. Thanks :)

[@Julianne955]

@@inletboy I apologize, I didn't mean it to come out like that. You know your shells, I really didn't mean it like it sounded.

[@beverlywilliams5467]

I’m a new subscriber. Enjoyed your shelling but I wondered why you did not collect some star fish. Were they all still alive?

[@inletboy]

Thanks for joining.. Those starfish were all alive.. Somedays there are more than other days.

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Hooray for saving the welk and how you handled that situation with a trade ❤️. In Florida I know it’s illegal to take live shells off the beach, is South Carolina different (I would hope it would be illegal)?

[@inletboy]

State parks have different rules than the State and best to check. Taking live animals to kill to use as decoration or ornament should not be taken. It should be ethical responsibility common sense rule. We pick Oysters And Clams from the same area at Huntington Beach to eat and follow SCDNR rules. I knew that person was not planning to eat that whelk because it was small and not much meat in small ones and on top of that the beach was covered with dead ones. Is good to know rules of the area that you visit. There is a beach by Edisto (Botnay Bay) where you are not allowed to pick any shells. You are allowed on the beach north if it or south of it but not there. :)

[@charlottehawk3766]

I can’t believe you didn’t take those star fish since they were expired and the thing that got to me is there was a shark tooth laying right beside it and didn’t pick it up/. My poor heart sank

[@inletboy]

I used to pick dead starfish but after seeing them all the time I decided to let them there. Is lots of work :). I've gotten messages about the shark teeth in my videos but I must've missed them because I was not looking for them lol. I know where to find the big ones and will do a video this month. I found a piece that is about 2"x3.5" this week and should be in my next video :) You and another have better eyes than me to notice that one :)

[@angelasurratt5908]

Do you sell your shells on Etsy?

[@inletboy]

No..I only pick a handful of them and leave the rest on that beach. I do video and photos and they go back. Thanks for watching

[@debbiedraper7325]

I've been told throwing them back into the water can actually separate the animal from the shell causing it to die.

[@inletboy]

Whelks are very hardy and they get rolled all over the surf and rocks. They just come out if shell by tossing them back in the water. Some people who pick them up for food cant just pull the meat out with fork or tool. Either they have to crack the shell or boil them way longer than they do clams. Yesterday I put back over hundred of them from the top of the dunes because they got pushed their during the last storm. If I would have not then they would have been dead. I could not do the whole long beach but did about 3 miles. I would have but had to leave because of tide and did not want to get stuck overnight. Thanks for watching

[@bonraerieger]

No need to introduce stress or injury. They might be built to roll over rocks, but being tossed into the water is another story.

[@marionwheatland]

Is it not your ususal practice to return live shells to the water? do you not collect the garbage as you go, and remove it from the beach?

[@inletboy]

I pick only few that I like for my projects and try to pick as much garbage as I can carry back if i am walking and no hoat.. If I am on the boat then I load the boat with garbage. Look at my past videos of me collecting garbage. Sometimes I pick so much that there is barely room for me on the boat. I cant pick every garbage but try my best :) Thanks for watching and comment :)

[@sandypayne463]

Why don’t you keep the starfish?

[@drdrew3]

They are dead soft tissue so as they dry out the smell is awful. They are plentiful so if you collect just a few nice specimens it’s not a big deal. But a bucket full of them is a messy project. Empty shells are much easier to deal with

[@inletboy]

I know the smell. My friend did that and after that awful smell she learned. Of course there are way to preserve the dead ones but regular shells are way easier to keep :) ​@@drdrew3

[@vicsterhamster]

i thought it was illegal to take out the animal in the shell

[@inletboy]

Always follow rules and and regulations of the area you go to. Some areas have strict laws and some don't. Thanks for watching

[@suzannehall5991]

Don't throw the whelks. Place them gently back into the water

[@inletboy]

Thanks

[@faycepeda9058]

Please, you do not throw the lies shells into the water. It’s not good for them.

[@lardawnsauber658]

Don’t throw them back! Gah! Set them GENTLY in the water! So frustrating seeing people do this!

[@drdrew3]

Those shellfish are well adapted to rolling around in violent surf that crashes onto the beach. A toss back into the ocean does them no harm. They are well protected by design

[@inletboy]

​@@drdrew3I second that. Most are hardy. Throwing them back is better than letting them bake. Yesterday I want to an island where tons of them got washed way up from the last big storms. Some were dead and had bad smell.. I picked live ones and the ones that I thought might be alive back. I did only 3 miles of them and had to get back to my boat before tide change. Thanks

[@CindyMcB]

Please stop pitching shells.

[@manderville76]

Do the starfish stay purple after they are all dried out? That's my favorite color and they're so beautiful!

[@inletboy]

They dont keep that color once they are dry. Some people dye them.. Will be cool if they keep the color:)
