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! 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.
@solaceinshelling65522 жыл бұрын
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!
@dianesalvato30782 жыл бұрын
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.
