First of all, thanks so much for taking us with you each week. I am amazed at how many unbroken Florida cones today. I spent a couple of hours at Guana River Preserve looking for Shark's teeth this morning. My daughter's each got a handful, while I got about 8, I will blame it on age LOL Have a great week Sharmon, I hope Debby was not to bad for you, I found a couple of leaks in my house when wind drives rain in sideways. The joys of home ownership and hurricanes.

Hi Sharmon, I was wondering if you ever get those nasty comments from conservationist regarding the collection of seashells and how we're harming the cycle of sea life by collecting all of these wonderful treasures. I've been reading about the poor little hermit crabs having to use plastic caps and other garbage due to the lack of shells. I personally think it's due to all the garbage left behind and not necessarily the lack of shells. What's your thoughts on the matter? Love your videos by the way 🥰 Never miss a Sunday.
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife Ай бұрын
I do get comments that I'm "taking homes of other creatures that need shells" but it's just people that don't know any better. Down here in Southwest Florida, we have PLENTY of shells for people, the critters and some. But other areas int he world, such as Japan, do not have the multitude of shells and the creatures do have to get creative with other things they find like plastic caps or tin cans. I don't mind people trying to be helpful, but people that don't know any better and tell me I'm taking critters homes crack me up 😂

We have taken one trip out to the 10,000 islands.last year as the kids got me that for Christmas. This winter we are going out with SWF shell Guide that you recommended, I can’t wait to get back to the beach.

at 9:10 the true Ark shells have a byssal orifice at the ventral side, both valves have such an indentation, so it makes a wide, pointy oval, gap. The byssus, by which it attaches itself to the substrate, is quite big in Ark shells. If you search for e.g. Arca ventricosa you can see how big this gap can be in hinged pairs.
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife Ай бұрын
Google helped me with both Arca ventricosa and the byssus. I saw a neat project that someone had completed by taking the byssys of pen shells and was able to make a fabric from it. I didn't realize the arks don't all close like clams. I wish you had a KZbin channel so I could learn more from you!

Dear Sharmon, Wow, Keewaydin was good for you! What an amazing haul of shells!😍 It feels like this entire summer shelling goes a lot better than previous years, but it could be my imagination. Sorry for my late comment. Things aren't going so well here lately. So, watching and commenting had to wait a few days. I'm glad you were OK that last storm, and I'm very curious about how much shells you have found after that. I hope you are having a wonderful week, filled with sunshine and amazing finds! Sending you, of course, a big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤, Ilona

I wonder if the shells are really just that good this summer, or if I've found a way to appreciate anything and everything that's out there 🤔 Ok, there was one day this year where I went to the beach to film and had to leave with nothing. But....that has only happened once and it was in a different location so I'm not entirely surprised. Post-storm shelling this time was fantastic - I had myself a fabulous time! Can't wait to share!

Hello. LOL Yes I am that Greek word. I’m a former American expatriated in Vietnam. The shelling here is……different depending what part of the massive coast line one is in. Locally…..the beaches outside of Hoi An where we are 10 minutes away, have some interesting shells and my wife and I enjoy looking very much. In comparison (I love/loved Ft. Myers and Marco Island - area, etc) Florida has Vietnam beat by an insane margin. Not even a contest but we work with what we have. We enjoy your channel and narration tremendously….

Hi Sharmon, loved the video. Look forward to our Sunday-night beach walk with you. A suggestion, I really liked having the date of the actual shelling day on the video….maybe have it on them all so that we know when it actually happened. Just my opinion. Still loved watching and can’t wait for November to get here so that I can get there!!😂. Happy shelling my friend.

Do you ever dip the black scallops in Acid Magic? I haven’t because I like the black. Wondering if they ever change color. This was a good trip
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife Ай бұрын
I have! The acid will not remove the black color - it will only remove any whitish residue the shell might have

Why is summer shelling not as good as winter shelling? Is it because there are more people, on the beach, competing for the shells? LOVE you videos ~ Thank you!!
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife Ай бұрын
The winds in the summer tend to push the shells out further from the beach, whereas the NW winds we get in winter help push the shells onto the beach. And a good storm no matter what season helps tremendously!

I really love watching your videos every Sunday. We will be on Sanibel in early October. What would be your preference if you had to choose, Keewayden or Kice? We will only have time for one so we are trying to decide which one to try. Let me add that my hubby has knee issues so it is difficult for him to transfer to some boats. Thank you for always taking me to my happy place each Sunday. 😊

In your situation, I would choose Keewaydin. It's going to be MUCH easier on your husbands knee, you can spend as long as you want on the island and it can be just as fabulous as Kice. I don't think you'd be disappointed with Keewaydin.

What a wonderful tour! One question Sharon, how do you tell the difference between an Apple murex and a lace murex?
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife Ай бұрын
The apple murex shells are more squat and the opening is large in comparison to the shell. The lace is longer and its opening is smaller. They sure do look similar though!

I love your videos! I wondered why you said "Look past all the conchs". Does that mean there are usually other shells? Thank you so much!
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife Ай бұрын
I personally have a weakness for the Florida fighting conchs. I say to myself, "Oh, I'm just going to look at it," and the next thing you know it's in my shell bag. If that happens enough times my bag gets too full so I tell myself to try to ignore the fighting conchs so I can maybe find something else 😂

I love your channel. I’m in Canada and going to visit friends next year who live near Winter Garden FL and wonder what beach would be the best to take a day trip to for the one chance of shelling I’ll probably have. Any recommendations?
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife Ай бұрын
That's quite a bit North from where I normally look for shells but if I were going there I would try Cocoa Beach (never been but want to) or Honeymoon Island (was great).
