[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you Marie ❤

[@kathy_beauty1955]

Does Natalie smile ALL the time? She is so darling!!!

[@RayEllaHoover]

I would have to rent a Uhaul if I ever found a place like that !!!

[@SDCourage27]

So many things need to work out so perfectly for Mother Nature to come up with such unbelievable and incredible things. Not to mention the “science & technology” of separating this uv light wave to see this moment happen. 🙌

[@mirkatu3249]

You look happy, Kyle, and we're happy that you do! Natalie is sweet and we hope to see more videos with her, :-)

[@Gloria-qy3dd]

Thank you for doing this ,and sharing.You gave me some happiness.Those patterns are lovely.Glad you have Natalie to help you through these moments .

[@danamosley]

Very overwhelming! I think I started to hyperventilate!🤣🤣🤣💜

[@gafairbanks2434]

WOW YOU TWO! I'D NEVER leave the area! If you ever decide to build a home someday, those shells, poured in expoxy, with a blacklite, for a bathroom wall...EVER SO COOL!

[@kathy_beauty1955]

Some of those under UV look to be painted by early native Americans!! Beautiful and thanks for sharing with us!!!Unreal!!

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

The round holes are drill holes from snail predation. So that is super cool. Love anything that shows how they lived.

[@paulwells782]

Awesome video as usual! Glad to see you around.

[@gracewashburn8276]

Good afternoon Kyle it’s good to see you with a smile on your face. I hope you’re feeling better and being back in Florida warms the cockles of your heart a little bit you don’t have to bundle up so much because Michigan is so chilly. Yeah but I can’t wait to see these lovely shells that you’re picking up. You always have some beautiful adventures and some lovely rocks and I know you love you all olive shells😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@deeanderson4440]

Who knew that shells were hiding their true beauty 😍 Truly amazing guys 😁

[@historylooker7]

Those are so awesome under the light !!!😎👍

[@rickross2709]

That black light patterning is addictive to watch!! Thanks for taking us along

[@rockersfromaz3001]

This is so amazing!!! WOW! I wish I could do this! I’m jelly!!! Lol

[@MK2DETEC]

Oh my gosh .... 😮....Oh my gosh😮....😭😭😭 it's an amazing spot 🤪 This is one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen 😍 Thanks a lot 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@oddnoble-y3g]

awesome video! super glad to see your post my friend!

[@cynergy4]

Those shells are freakin' amazing! It's nice to meet Natalie, she seems perfect for you. I'm glad that she could be there for you in your time of sorrow. Again, my very sincere condolences. I lost my mom to cancer too

[@JenialB]

Good to see you smiling! Thxs for the video & may God bring you comfort.

[@rebyj]

It took youtube 20 hours to show me you had a new video up lol. I hit the notification bell so that doesn't happen again. That Sundial around 4+ minutes in was so intricate! I had to pause it and check it out. The back spiral looks like cave drawings. Thanks for taking the time to upload and Natalie is great! EDITED to add.......... do any artists paint the shells under UV light? wow that's fun to see.

[@elleisme8565]

Wow so cool! And love your new girlie friend Kyle 🥰💍

[@meganrodger7282]

Thank you for posting us a new adventure. I know that your world seems broken right now and nothing makes sense, but hopefully in time you will start remembering the good times and the fun stuff, and although this may make you miss your mumma more, it will also help you feel so overwhelmingly lucky and grateful that you were blessed with such a beautiful soul for a mum. Xx

[@loripretti843]

Wow those shells were Absolutely Amazingly Beautiful!!! In the daylight and under the UV light!!! God Bless Us All!!!

[@TinasTimelessTreasures]

Those would be great to fill a shadowbox coffee table lined with a UV light strips. Great atmosphere lighting and cool too!

[@dansguy85]

Looking at all of those designs. Makes me think of ancient Egypt.

[@jeneencales6393]

Good to be able to watch your videos again! Love you guys! 💗💗😊

[@bucksandbeer]

Happy to see you happy, brother. Keep on keepin on. Your videos are so I interesting to us nature nerds.

[@heycarrieann]

I'm a new subscriber. I just wanted to say that I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sending positive energy you way!

[@RebeccaHenry-v4c]

So sorry for your loss but so glad your back. this was so cool.

[@michellestenton6430]

What an amazing adventure. Thank you for taking us along. I never would have imagined such beautiful artwork could be possible on fossilized shells. The excitement you and Natalie share is truly heart warming. Having a partner that shares is the same hobbies, you are blessed. Thank you for posting Kyle. Sending both of you warm Canadian hugs and much love 💕

[@gracewashburn8276]

Wow, looking at all those shells that you got and the patterns some look like a leopard spots and others look at the geometric zigzags and it’s like wow Kyle those are awesome. I never realize that they could have such patterns in color and I thought just looking at shells and normal light. We are beautiful, dang❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jeffreygoodwin9609]

Those shells look very toasted!

[@debramoore6318]

What a fun adventure. Thank you for posting. As a child, many years ago, we had a lay over on Wake Island while moving to Japan. I found 3 incredible Tiger Cowrie on the beach. Still have them. I learned that a tiny hole in the shell is sometimes a kill hole caused by octopus. So glad Natalie is with you. She seems so sweet. Take care, Kyle. Love and hugs from Dixie County. ❤

[@timmitchell8784]

That was amazing Kyle!! I wonder what would happen with other bands of light? Maybe try throwing some yellow lenses on. A pair of glasses might work and then add the ultraviolet.

[@teannabisso3847]

Absolutely wonderful you guys did an awesome job. I look forward to seeing your videos so much hearing your voice Kyle makes my day! keep on keeping on!!!!!! ❤

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

It's always amazing to see the shells with their patterns under UV. I hope you're doing well, Kyle!❤

[@brianholden1607]

Great finds sir! Our condolences to you and the fam. We are down on the gulf coast now and did a bit of this last week and earlier this week. Can’t wait to get them under UV light to see how our finds light up! Only got one Cowrie but can appreciate your excitement on the hunt!

[@huntingrocks]

Man that was an awesome video and sooooo many killer shells with amazing UV quality , I was never really into shells till you guys got me out looking for them , now they haunt my dreams LOL

[@eyupchuck1235]

Oh I’m sooooooo jealous Kyle. I think the cones are my fav. I don’t how I’d fit in my house if I lived near those fossil shells it would be packed to the roof lol! Sending love xxx

[@patriciabock4299]

That was the craziest most amazing shell hunt! You and Natalie are awesome!

[@marciaslay1149]

This video was amazing, thank you for sharing and sending prayers your way

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

YES! Back to Florida! Still, very sorry to hear about your Mom...my condolences Kyle.

[@mikepetrucha2774]

It's amazing how the black light brings the colors back.

[@WILDKYLE]

It really is special!

[@themcgeefamily7514]

Welcome back! We all ❤ 💙 You!

[@AngieJames4172]

Hi Kyle and Natalie Thank you for sharing this video, even if it was filmed before your sweet Mama passed. I'm sure it's still been a struggle, but again, thank you so much for sharing it. It's pretty freaking cool seeing the patterns with the black light, who would of thunk it! So amazing and beautimus! And the size of those Murex WOW !! I guess those and the Vase shells didn't show any pattern under the black light??? Still, the Murex were MONSTER size shells y'all! So super cool 😎 SO much love and hugs to you and your sister (Kristen?) Kyle, know I am holding the both of you close to my heart and take good care of yourselves through this difficult time and times ahead. 🤗🤗🤗 and an extra hug for Natalie.

[@JordanR_479]

Thanks for the upload.. I'm glad you have Natalie during this difficult time she seems like such a sweetheart. Continued prayers for your comfort ❤

[@marybeth6272]

UV light is really a cool thing... love those shells. Does the coral light up with UV?

[@obieobrien5883]

How does the design happen? Is there anything that can be done to show the pattern without black light? They are fascinating!

[@jaklyncraft666]

Always lovely to see you WildKyle. So many shells in your Country!

[@jonathanmattson3640]

I was snorkeling in the keys in August and found a whole bunch of coweries. Beautiful shells whe they're newer

[@clarepaynick789]

Good to see you Kyle out and about! Stay positive 🤩🫶🏼❣️✌️🤞🤘🤡

[@cherylgreen4738]

some beautiful shells there

[@markgeiger5222]

Kyle I'm from Michigan and myself and my son would like it if you would mind taking out an old rockhound and young rockhound out to fossil hunt. I e been following you for a year now and you rock it we are currently in Florida until late March early February

[@17deg]

Prayers for you and your family!

[@emcadorette]

welcome back, kyle - I need you to collab with @swfbeachlife on here! past meets present? 😍

[@WILDKYLE]

I would love to collab with her!

[@judymarkel8029]

Wow

[@laurieowen8696]

I've been holding you close to my heart. ❤

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you Laurie 🙏

[@okay7325]

In the words of Paul Simon, if she helps your mind, she’s a keeper

[@kirsiselei8703]

Oh wow❤. So awesome lrsand patterns😍

[@WILDKYLE]

They are so stunning 😍

[@user-pd2gu6li2n]

this was very enjoyable and interesting. I hope you go back there again.

[@graemero5532]

WildKyle & WildNatalie find Nessie on holiday in Florida 🦕

[@geoWhite]

Super beautiful video,take care,thanks

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you my friend!

[@PANAMATOR1]

I think that fossil that looks like a cross between a shell and a cowrie (12:20) is from the Bulla genus. They are common here in Panama (Central America), but very small.

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you my friend ❤

[@robbybobby64]

Fluorescent shells are very cool. So many nice ones. I wonder what the yellow/ orange fluorescent material is.

[@jaklyncraft666]

❤ deepest condolences Kyle 🙏

[@largent45]

Those are just crazy cool shells and patterns! Those fighting conch are amazing! Who would have thought! And the cowries! Amazing! It's just so amazing that time under the ground made them petrify and time out in the sun made the cool patterns appear! It must be long term UV exposure over thousand of years, baked into the shells a distinct pattern that is repeated on each of the hat shell type. That is amazing! And just crazy beautiful too! Such an awesome adventure! Thanks Kyle for such an illuminating video! An again I'm so sorry for your loss and my condolences to you and the whole family. Even when we are expecting it, it's never easy to take the loss of a mom. I know, I lost mine 9 years ago. I still miss her every single day, but the acute pain of the loss, does subsided. 😢❤

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

Wow I didn’t know they were like that , what fun!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@melodie-e9i]

The natural and bio luminescence is fun, but so is finding it in glass and marbles. You already know the age of many of the bottles you find but it helps date the marbles to pre 30's . Old marbles also have a lip aka thumb nail from the process of rolling up the glass.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Love you bro!

[@markattardo]

Those look amazing with UV light!!! Fun video👍👍

[@fullerfamily5190]

I understand that it has been a little while since you posted this, but are all of the fossilized FL Fighting Conches knob-less? Thanks! 😊

[@shelygrimmer3344]

The shells with dirt on then and pattern is not showing wash them and put them on the good side down bad side up so the sun can bring their colors out and leave them out there for a couple days.

[@Canned_beef]

You showing to montbrook this season?

[@jamesskorupa8694]

Have you ever tried dipping your shells in muriatic acid? And what do you think would happen to them? Would they lose their UV light pattern or would the pattern be visible without the light? I guess I’m wondering just what would happen to a fossil shell dipped into acid.

[@WILDKYLE]

I haven't tried it with shells, but I've heard it actually can make the patterns with UV more visible if you dip them in muriatic acid!

[@piratepete842]

I've seen some of these ancient shells with a red stain on them..any idea why they have that patina?

[@1.4142]

Maybe the compounds on the ground side of the shell have oxidized?

[@TheAdventurousRealtor]

I spoke too soon 😆 you got a junonia

[@yvonnefochesato4652]

Can you clean or polish the shell to it's natural coIor?

[@MICHIGANROCKBOX]

What part of michigan do you visit?

[@Boats_N_Hoez]

I love wyld kyle, you remind me of joe dirt

[@Boats_N_Hoez]

But smarter 😂

[@TheAdventurousRealtor]

You want to find Junonia's 😎

[@valsummers5330]

The UV fighting conchs look like basket weave

[@angelajellick7246]

So would those patterns have been visible when the shell was alive ? Sending love to you both, hope you are doing ok ❤️

[@WILDKYLE]

Yep! It is the pattern that was on them when they were alive. So cool!

[@garnettoll9317]

Thanks for taking us along. I want to go find some!

[@okay7325]

Are some of those snail shells, the poisonous snails that have like a harpoon that they shoot out and they’re supposed to be poisonous though I’ve heard

[@avinledford3149]

where are you ? planning a Fl trip in feb, would love to go there and hunt fossils.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

You should probably wear gloves with the UV light. You are exposed to it more than most people and it would be a good precaution.

[@valsummers5330]

Coral is cobalt BLUE

[@chrisbgifford7387]

Sun Ray Venus clam

[@reneesingletary3031]

How can you tell if a shell has fossilized? I’m planning on taking my UV light with me when I come to Florida. Are there any real public places to go look. Natalie you’ve got you a good fellow there!! We all think he’s a keeper😊. Natalie you’re so smart about the shells!!🐚

[@craftyjoy9]

Cool shells you collected but the one with the holes is a Trypophobia alert 🚨 for me! 😱🤢🤯 🙋🏼‍♀️🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@keithkraushaar8127]

I may have missed it, but we're is this location 😮😮😮😮😮

[@WILDKYLE]

Florida Gulf Coast area!

[@ginny41099]

Where are you at

[@Ddogg7021]

Where are you??

[@jmicaha2655]

One of the most uncomfortable intros lol

[@WILDKYLE]

Why? Hahaha
