It was really such a beautiful and wild location - thanks for watching!

Hi, love love love this video! Beautiful shells! I was wondering why you didn't keep the sea biscuit at Jacks Beach, I almost cried😥🌎✈🌊

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Definitely going to try to keep the next Sea Biscuit I find!

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Many more exotic adventures to come! Thanks for watching!

[@Lisa.Sparkman]

What a beautiful place that was! Such a variety of beautiful shells. I agree with another commenter you should have taken the big one LOL that thing was stupendous. I was hearing this whistling noise and for a minute I thought I was listening to beach birds then I discovered it was the wind LOL thank you so much for another wonderful adventure to an exotic locale.

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello! Yes, it was extremely windy on this beach - thankfully my audio wasn't totally ruined! Thanks for watching!

[@kathycox6420]

Love the Caribbean shells. That last juvenile queen conch was my favorite along with that huge top snail! Hope to see more from your trip!

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Thanks for watching!

[@denisem6754]

Love the color on the reticulated cowrie helmets! Great finds on beautiful beaches, but I don’t think I would’ve been able to leave that huge top shell behind.

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello friend! The giant top shell was certainly tempting, but I have so many in my collection already! Thanks for watching!

[@shannonnakamura9932]

Wow! Just beautiful and such pretty shells. Really enjoyed the video. Nice relaxing calm music and the ocean sounds. 🙂

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello friend, thank you so much for coming along!

[@shannonnakamura9932]

Hi. 🙂 Looking forward to the next video!

[@cinthiakyser7463]

If you should ever find you have too many of those Caribbean shells I'd be happy to take some of your hands. I'm curious to see how you display your treasures

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello! Right now I live in NYC, so I don't have a super ton of space - most shells are in tupper-ware containers, but I am always thinking of new ideas for display especially when the time comes to get a bigger place! Thanks for wathcing!

[@amartin6990]

Such beautiful shells! Maybe someday we get there but for right now we will live vicariously through you. Out of curiosity, if you were on a cruise how did you get around the island?

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello! St. Croix is very beautiful and would highly recommend a visit. St. Croix was one of the port of call stops on the cruise. I researched a couple of potential shelling locations of interest ahead of time on the island. I rented a car for the 9 hours we were docked at the island and drove to the locations - was able to get back with plenty of time before ship departed. Thanks for watching!

[@jeanthreadingham6103]

Hi I'm from the UK sndcwatch your videos all the time. I have been trying to buy a florida fighting conch as we dont seem to have them here. Do you know or do you sell any of the florida conches you find. If you do or do know of someone who does sell them I wld be very grateful. Thankyou.

[@randylawson2247]

You stated you were on a cruise. Did you have any problems bringing them back onto the ship and through security?

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Yes! So I had to do a little research before hand regarding taking shells back on board. I can only speak to my experience on this one trip, but I didn't have any issues taking a few small shells back on boat. I had them in my pockets as I heard this is the best way, but my friends took a couple larger ones in their bag and it wasn't an issue at all!

[@annamann4544]

we are thinking about visiting st croix, is it true you cannot take home any shells?

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello, I can only speak to my experience. I have traveled to a few places in the Caribbean and have never had a problem bringing some shells home in my suitcase. While visiting St. Croix, I was on a cruise, and brought most of the shells found in this video back on the cruise and home on the plane without issue. I do want to reiterate however, that I can only speak to my experience! Hope you have a blast on your trip! Thanks for watching!

[@bagel4944]

I think I'll stuff my pockets and bags full at that beach

[@solaceinshelling6552]

I used to stuff all of my finds in my pocket... let me tell you, it's much easier with a bag! Thanks for watching!

[@bagel4944]

@@solaceinshelling6552 yea I always take a bag to the seaside just in case :)

[@dreamincolor8114]

Are you allowed to take shells from St Croix? I’m going this Sunday to St Croix, and want to shell.

[@solaceinshelling6552]

Hello! I can only speak to my experience, but I had no issues taking a few shells from my visit here! Hope you have a great time and thanks for watching!

Beautiful! Can you provide your email, sir?

[@cathyjohnson710]

There is NO WAY I wouldve put that giant shell back! I wouldnt even care if it was 100 pounds lol.Great finds as usual.

[@solaceinshelling6552]

The giant Top shell is so popular, haha! These shells are ultra heavy, but maybe I'll think twice about putting them back on the next adventure - thanks for watching!
