- Hi all, I am celebrating 3 years of Solace in Shelling on UA-cam. I thought, what better way to do this, than to count down some of my favorite shelling/beachcombing moments from the start of my channel.
These moments aren't in any particular order(every single one is GREAT in my opinion), but they are some of the moments that I am particularly fond of, and that stand out in my mind as extraordinarily memorable.
Thank you all for following my on this journey, and for supporting this passion of mine for 3 years now. I will continue to bring beachy, shelly goodness in every way that I can. The opportunity to share these experiences with the world is what originally inspired me to create content.
Shell Love to All!
I am always here to provide that experience! Thanks for watching, shell friends!
So happy for the adventures these past few years! Congratulations! I appreciate you and all those beautiful, beautiful shells and beaches!!

Wowsah - I loooveed reading your comment! I had a distinct vision for the type of content/presentation I wanted to share when creating this channel - I always try to stay consistent with that treatment. Thank you so much for watching! 💙
Congratulations! I wanted to thank you for your videos and showing us the beauty in this world! Because of your videos I set out to Southeast Florida (from Montana) and experienced Juno beach and singer Island. I would have never know the beauty without your videos! For me your channel provides peace in the midst of chaos and I thank you so very much!
Hi shell friend, it makes me happy to see that you have experienced positivity here and with this content. I'm also glad that you have had some wonderful shelling experiences. Thanks also for watching! 🐚
3 yrs, WOW! Thanks sooo much for all your wonderful video shelling adventures. Putting together this "top 28" was a great idea. Love watching all of your videos.
I've been mulling this idea around for quite some time, but I am glad I waited until now to put it together. Thanks for the great feedback, shell friend!
Hooray! Three yrs of incredible shelling! All your videos are amazing and I feel so thankful you share your experiences with all of us and proud to have some of my hometown featured (Palm bch county) You inspire me all the time to get out there. Keep on shelling! 🤗 🐚 🐚 🐚 🐚
Thank you so much for the kind words! I absolutely love shelling in your neck of the woods - some of my favorite shell experiences, ever actually 💙
Of all the lovely shells, I have a weakness for the colorful scallops. Thanks for taking us to such fabulous locations with you! 🌻🌾🍁🍂🥰
Thank you so much for coming along, shell friend!
You've been so fortunate to travel to so many places to go beachcombing! If I travel abroad, the first place I'm going is Turks and Caicos. I thought about my own highlights, and I would say about half of them would include critters that I've encountered along the way. You have a lovely channel. Keep up the fabulous work!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sharmon! I would love to see how you would share an adventure to Turks and Caicos! Thanks again, shell friend!

Thank you for posting beachcombing videos for 3 whole years, your work is amazing!! You helped me learn so much about seashells that I would never know about, as we don't really find the same in Greece🥰
I love your country - it is one of my favorite places in the world to visit! 🇬🇷
Thank you for watching, shell friend!
Love your videos. I respect your knowledge of all the shells.
Thank you for the kind words! I am always on a journey of discovery, and I enjoy sharing that journey with everyone 💛

Thank you sooo very much! I really enjoyed this video; I felt the joy and excitement with all of your incredible finds. These shells, and all shells, are truly gems of the sea. Thank you for putting this video together. I can't even begin to figure out my favorite find, but that huge magnificent Queen Conch at the end was mind-blowing! Loved the sunset too. Looking forward to your next adventure 🐚 😎 ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Happy Shelling Anniversary!
Thank you so much, shell friend!
Brian that was your best vid to date. Think I've seen them all. Thanks for the time you've put in to make them!
Thank you so much for the acknowledgement - this video took me the longest time to put together of all the videos I have created because of having to dig back into the archives, lol! I appreciate your viewership!
So many amazing shells. Great video idea to compile all these spectacular finds all in one video! That tulip having dinner is such a cool observation too, I always love seeing them out and about doing their thing. Thanks for sharing, shell friend!
I found this beautiful Tulip in the flats off of Key Biscayne. I have shelled here a few times, and it's ALWAYS such a great spot to observe live creatures!
Thanks for watching friend!
P.S. congrats on your 3 years of shelling & videos - you provide us with great shelling adventures. The natural beauty of the shells and your beach destinations never cease to amaze. Oh, I also send a belly scratch for Yuki 😊 🐕
Yuki says hi! Thanks so much for watching!
Just captivating! Congrats, good luck and keep producing more videos. They really are solace to me❤
Thank you so much for coming along, shell friend! 🐚
A big thank you to YOU! I really enjoyed this one and seeing your top finds and do remember some of them from many of your videos I've watched! Some I haven't seen, yet, but look forward to seeing those videos as well. When I have down time, I love being able to sit back and watch your videos and appreciate your time and effort. I know a lot of time goes into them and through your videos I'm getting to virtually visit so many beautiful places!!! I'll likely get to a few but many aren't likely but you never know. I enjoy seeing your beautiful finds from many different places and seeing the differences and similarities of the shells found in various locations. I'm fortunate in that we do get to travel to some nice places but I know many don't have that privilege and through your videos, we all feel like we're traveling with you. We recently went on a cruise out of Long Beach, CA to Mexico and actually had a couple of ours at a beach in that area along the cliffs and wow, such a nice variety for such a short amount of time. If you ever get out that way, I'd be happy to let you know where. Congratulations on 3 years of videos and looking forward to many more! Thank you again!!!
Wow!! This was awesome!
Thanks for watching!
3 years? Thought it was longer...seems like I've tagged along on so many outings that I feel like I've known you forever. The vid's are so interesting and informative and the music is so relaxing not to mention the surf washing up on the shore and the many glimpses of Uki. I really enjoy our adventures up and down the Eastern Seaboard...and once again, Thanx for letting me tag along....!
Awww thank you so much for the kind words, shell friend. I always appreciate your viewership and heart warming comments 💙
CONGRATS on 3 years !! Always enjoy your videos because they are always in different places. I've been to Cayo Costa by boat, just beautiful. Pass-a-Grille, Fl. took a little bit of a 'hit' with Idalia passing by.....rearranged the dunes, and I believe the parking area had 2' of sand. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
I appreciate your kind words! I always say to myself... if I have the opportunity to travel somewhere(and it's near the ocean), I am shelling, lol! Thank you so much for coming along!
Congrats on 3 years! I always love that you don't take every shell you find and are selective. Love watching your videos.
Thank you for the congrats, shell friend! I do feel that practicing mindfulness while shell collecting is important 💙
3 Years with wonderful videos. Congratulations. Amazing shells 🐚 😍.
I appreciate your kind words, and thank you for watching!

Awesomeness!! If you want a shell buddy.. look me up and I'll go with you.. i LOVE to shell...would do it all day every day! I live in Central Florida.. congratulations
Thanks so much for watching, shell friend! 💙
Isn't that urchin called a Seabiscuit related to the 5hole sand dollar. Me thinks. Great shells by the way. Some I remember, a lot forgotten 😩wahwah 🍼. 69th bd yesterday
Happy belated birthday!
@@solaceinshelling6552 thank you
HEY YALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
What a glorious compilation video! May I ask a question? What does fossil reject mean?
I think the shell you are referring to is the "Rejected Neptune" - it's the common name for the shell...the latin name is Neptunea despecta, and it is a species of Neptune shells. This particular shell is a fossil, as I presume it be from a Presumpscot Formation deposit. The Presumpscot Formation is a late Pleistocene glacial/geological feature made predominantly of marine blue clay(from the last Ice Age) located along the coastal and inland areas of Maine.
Thank you so much for watching!
@@solaceinshelling6552 Thank you so much for that wonderful explanation!!
You have so much in three years. How do you get through customs? Xo
Hi friend! I can only speak to my experience, but I have never had any issues bringing a few shells back with me. If I'm traveling abroad shelling, I usually bring small tupperware containers/bubblewrap and put the shells in my checked suitcase. With that said, I always check local shelling/beachcombing laws prior to travelling to a new place.
Thanks so much for watching!
@@solaceinshelling6552 thanks for sharing too. It's so nice to watch you shelling.
Have you considered showing us your collection at home?
He has a video of those as well on his channel.
@@gingermackeen5741 💙
Hi shell friend, I have a couple videos showcasing some of my collection. I hope you are able to check them out! 🐚
So fun!!! I have a question about what does it mean to say that a shell is “fossil rejected “? I have never heard that term before and I’m curious what it means and how to identify a shell like that. It was really pretty with all the blue and black colors on it.
Apologies as I see this could be confusing: The species I found is called a "Rejected Neptune"(Neptunea despecta). It is considered a fossil as I presume it washed up from an offshore fossil deposit that's part of a geological feature in Maine called The Presumpscot Formation.
Today, Rejected Neptunes aren't commonly found as far south as Maine, as they are strictly an Arctic species. These shells along with other similar species, did however, thrive in this area during the last Ice Age, and were buried in marine clay over as the climate changed. These ancient marine clay deposits occur in buried sediments throughout coastal areas northern New England. Hope that helps!
@@solaceinshelling6552oh! Thanks for explaining. That is so very interesting! I love getting to see the northern shells that I have never seen and to see something Arctic and fossilized is super cool! I can only imagine how psyched you were to find it!
