  • I found a super rare shell! This shell is so super rare that I had never seen it so I was excited to get home and figure out what it was. What’s crazy is I found 3 other really beautiful specimens on the same day!

    I just wanted to thank you so much h for your videos. I love in Pennsylvania and our family use to rent a cabin in August in New Jersey. I live the beach, it's sounds the shells, the sea.gulls. I was one of those people who fed seagulls but I always tried to do it away from people. I use to love the beach in the late afternoon when most people were leaving and it seemed so calm. We don't go anymore everyones kids are older doing their own thing, but I miss it. Whenever you give us beach ti.e I close my eyes and listen and I'm transported back to those days. I THANK YOU FOR that. I would love to go to south west Flordi some time it looks spectacular. I don't FIL never did so maybe after.my husband retires. But until then I've found your channel and live it immensely. God Bless and may you keep shelling for.many many more years, I'll be watching.
