Oliver, you are always saying,”Steph, what are we gonna do with all these shells”…and she says,”look at em and love on em”…ha ha…Something different to see you guys do would to be have a crafting video one evening and maybe make a shell mirror with all the giant whelks, angel wings, sand dollars…or cover a cigar box in all those pretty olive shells or maybe decorate a big picture frame with a portrait of all of your family in it! I’d love to see how crafty you could actually get! ❤
I received my shell order today and am thrilled. They were everything portrayed in the description and were packed so well. Everything was in perfect shape, including the Angel wing. Plus, the bonuses I got made it seem like a late Christmas present. Thank you so much!
We're so glad! Yay! Ya never know with shells! 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️💔😬📦 Thank you, too! We certainly are appreciative that you would want to help support our small channel & have some of our treasures for your very own! 🥰🐚 Thanks for coming along for the beach adventure! 🌊🐚👣
This shelling video was like my dream come true!! You two are living the best life as far as I am concerned.👍If you ever need two fellow shell hoarders to tag along with you on an adventure, we are available to go!! ☺️🐚
You definitely hit the mother load to many gorgeous ones to mention individually I don't think there's anything wrong with taking an animal to eat love doing anything with you guys shelling shrimping crabbing fishing and hanging with your family thank you
Absolutely, it was a shelltastic day!! We are glad you enjoyed it! We sure appreciate you tagging along with us for all of our adventures, too! 🌊👣🐚🦀🦐🎣🤗🥰
Man would I enjoy going on an adventure with you both!! My favorite thing to do is shell search and a barrier island is a bucket list for me!! Thanks for the awesome video's!!
And yes Oliver I really enjoy learning about the ocean creatures, shells, crabbing, shrimping and fishing. Y’all are good teachers and so knowledgable. I myself have not ever been around beach except on vacay. So again Thank Y’all for sharing your adventures. Keep up the great videos in 2024.
Those large channeled welks are are very nice. I've never found any that big. Through the years, I've found operculums washed up on the beach. You should go over to Sapelo Island in Georgia. Have to take a ferry to get there. There is lodging over there. Beautiful shells over there. Lots of hinged cockles. So colorful. Also, Cumberland Island. Have to take a ferry there also. Those are just day trips.
Thanks for the suggestions! We should check it out. They really aren't that far from us. If we ever do, you know we'll take our Saltaholics along with us! 😉🌊👣🐚
I love, love these videos! The amount of beach treasures you found on this trip is absolutely amazing!! Thank you for your hard work for us! Kelp on shelling, shrimping, crabbing, fishing and spending time with your precious family ! 😘
We've done that several times. We will have to do it again. I only rinse the sand off & let them air dry. Sometimes, it takes me a while to get around to that part! 🙃
You two are so cute together, and how nice that you both love the ocean and all her treasures so much. My local beaches here in Southern CA are having gigantic waves from storms right now so we're advised to stay away for a while. Thanks for taking me to the beach anyway! Appreciate you both.
I grew up on the beaches of Southern CA. 3 - 4 days after the big waves dissipate is the perfect time to go shelling. We don't have the number or variety of shells along the West Coast, so after stormy weather, shelling should be pretty good.
Great shelling video as always! You found some beauties. And, yes, my husband & I finish each other's sentences too. I do believe that happens when you're very happy together after so many years (you two are so cute together 😊). Back to shelling...❤
We get on each other's nerves doing it sometimes! 🙄 ... Probably because we both like to talk 🗣🗣🗣🤣 or maybe it's all the years together have wore each other's nerves to the end! 🎆🧨😆🙃😉 Thanks for coming along for the adventure! 🌊👣🐚
So excited for you that the big whelk was not occupied! I personally love the huge channel whelks the best! I wonder what the biggest one ever found was? ‘AWESOME FIND’ Oliver!
You asked us to leave a comment about what that item was that you found and I thought it was part of an egg casing for a moon snail…never heard of that ‘root’ thing you said it was…wow…very interesting!
I’ve said this several times, but, thank you so much for bringing us along on your beach adventures. Y’all are so fun to hang out with. It’s nice for those of us who can’t make it to the beach very often. Appreciating you from Southern Indiana!
Our pleasure! We appreciate the kind words of encouragement, too! We are thankful for the opportunity & ability to be able to go on beach walks & to be able to share the adventure with others, especially those that don't get to enjoy it often or ever for themselves! 🌊👣🐚
Watching you is so relaxing! I am lucky to be able to visit Charleston a few times a year and try to go shelling each time. I’ve learned a lot by watching! Thank you🐚
I love seeing all the shells and critters you find on your walkabout. Found some info for you for the whelks, South Carolina has a highly regulated, short exploitation window for whelk (usually mid-February to mid-April) that is further limited by fishing gear restrictions, weather conditions, minimum whelk harvest size, and marketing opportunities. Hope you have a great day.
The finds just kept on getting better and better this video. I wanted to reach right in to hold them all, haha. Especially those channel whelks and murex shells.
Happy New Year to you and family. I've enjoyed every video you make but the beach is my favorite. Where else could I see a beach trip and be in my PJs drinking coffee. I have learned so much about the sea and shells from watching this channel. Be safe and stay happy at the ocean.
When we would go spot or flounder fishing, we would always put a bottle of tobasco sauce and a lemon in the boat. If the fish didn't bite we would pull up on an oyster bed and start shucking and eating. I still miss living in Myrtle Beach. Great video.
Yeah, we have seen some do that! 🦪 I don't enjoy them 🤢 but Oliver loves steamed & fried oysters. He doesn't like them raw. But they make great bait if you run out! 😁
A beautiful shell here and there. I would use the shells to line my porch, flower beds even going around the house. Just because you can. 😂 Love how you to bust each others chops.😂
The beach is my happy place and I hope to make a move so i am closer. In the meantime I will keep watching and loving your videos! IMO taking live whelk would be no different than taking crabs, clams or oysters. It all seafood 😍
Happy New Years, Folks!.. I really got a kick out of this beach walk. I love to hear the chatter between you two. And I do learn quite a bit from you. I only seen a sea pansy in my beach book. Are they puffy? Those welks are just beautiful. I need to look up the red dot on the red sea star. It looked like a bite! Taking live conchs is a personal choice, as long as they are consumed by the taker!. Not for me! I am landlocked in the Midwest. I always have had a love of the sea! Please keep taking us along on your beach walks. They help with the winter depression!
The sea pansy is just very slightly puffy, if that makes sense. From what I read, the red/orange dot is where the starfish intakes water. The only reason we would take a live whelk is if we were going to consume it. The one we had was fried & tasted very similar to fried clam strips. I love clam strips, so I thought it was pretty yummy. Thanks for tagging along with us for the beach adventure! We appreciate it! 🌊👣🐚
We try to take our Saltaholics on "real" beach walks & other adventures. We talk to yall & want yall to feel like you are right there with us, seeing as & how we see it! So we are glad to hear you feel that way! 🤗😁🌊👣🐚
I really enjoy watching you guys interact. Lots of awesome shells in your last two videos. That Cohog was actually quite pretty. Your weather looks very nice as well. I so appreciate that you pick up Garbage and return all the live shells. You guys do a good job explaining the different shells and how some of them live and move. I'm sure you get new viewers that have no idea, until you explain to them. Anyway thanks again for sharing.
Glad you enjoy our adventures! We are certainly appreciative of the beauty that surrounds us, and we are glad to be able to share it with other Saltaholics who love nature! Yes, ma'am, some, even some who have lived in this area their whole lives, never have been exposed to the beauty that live around us here. 🌊👣🐚
That red dot on a starfish is what is known as a medreporite. It's is an opening that sucks in water to help with movement, feeding and respiration. The eyes are usually located at the tips of the arms. Just thought you would like to know. Happy shelling Oh, and be aware that the dead sea dtr could still contain it's fissures and as it decays I side could create a nasty stink so put it away from the house until completely dried up with no odor. Good luck!
I didnt know that about the money out of shells. Yall are very interesting. I am from Mississippi and we have muddy water mostly so I love what you get to do.
It's taken me a while to get through this awesome video. Had family in town. Well I didn't know the root ID, but do know a shark eye egg collar when I see one!😃 I know in FL you can't take any live shell except during scallop season. I've never heard of a "whelk season". That giant eastern murex at 1:07 is the prettiest one you've ever shown! This beach hunt has to rank up there as one of if not the best you've ever had! And probably the best is yet to come with the high tide line!😃🎉🎉 Can't believe all those murexes! YFSS says "whew!" Looking forward to part 3!
Hope you enjoyed your family time! YES, that murex was in great condition! 🥰 So spikey & beautiful! We certainly had a great shelling day! See you on the next one! 😉
I didn’t know that about the Indian using at currency I’m glad you share things I learned something new today. I love these shelling videos and all your others.
Glad to share with you! Actually, there were many types of shells used as currency among many nations, including wampum, coweries & tusk shells! Fascinating 🐚🤑 ... how the world has changed!
Sea turtles are predators of some of the shells too, especially the Florida fighting conches and the whelks, they will chomp down and leave the cobb of the shell with big hunks missing out of it. I can’t remember which species of turtles are that eat them, because some sea turtles are herbivores and some are omnivores.
Yep, loggerhead sea turtles eat whelk & other seashells (mollusks). Loggerheads are very common in our area, so I assume they are the culprit for some of the broken whelk that we come across. It is pretty incredible 😳 to think of the pressure they have with their bite to be able to break such a thick shell! 🐢 😋🐚💛
New subscriber because I love finding treasures on the beach and to learn about all the different shells, critters and birds ! You make a great team and will be watching for all the amazing shells you find ! My favourite shells are olives and juvenile fighting conches oh and calico clams as well ! Happy New Year and happy shelling ! 🎉🥳🐚🐙🦀
Oliver, you are always saying,”Steph, what are we gonna do with all these shells”…and she says,”look at em and love on em”…ha ha…Something different to see you guys do would to be have a crafting video one evening and maybe make a shell mirror with all the giant whelks, angel wings, sand dollars…or cover a cigar box in all those pretty olive shells or maybe decorate a big picture frame with a portrait of all of your family in it!

I agree with Lynn yarbough.....let's see yalls crafty side.
We'll have to think about what crafts we could do with you guys. 🤔🙂 🖼
I agree! A friend of mine made me a gorgeous picture frame with shells she collected in Baja California (she knows I'm a shell nut 😂), and I LOVE IT!
Yes the shells are beautiful!
💯
"What are you going to do with all these shells?....."We are going to look at them & LOVE them!" ......I think I have found my tribe! LOL
The moon snail leaves that cluster of sand gel sheet. possibly shark eye snail.
Exactly! ✅️
That red dot on the starfish is his heart!
Interesting!

Moon snail collar egg casing
Exactly! ✅️😃
Stunning shells, and you are so knowledgeable, thank you.
Thanks for shelling with us! 🌊🐚👣
Oliver, you can never have too many shells!
EXACTLY! 🥰🐚
Those large channeled welks are are very nice. I've never found any that big. Through the years, I've found operculums washed up on the beach. You should go over to Sapelo Island in Georgia. Have to take a ferry to get there. There is lodging over there. Beautiful shells over there. Lots of hinged cockles. So colorful. Also, Cumberland Island. Have to take a ferry there also. Those are just day trips.

Awe, thank you! We are glad you enjoy spending beach time with us! 🤗🌊👣🐚
Wonderful finds. I wish you would show the shells after you get them home and clean them up. It would really show the beauty of them.
We've done that several times. We will have to do it again. I only rinse the sand off & let them air dry. Sometimes, it takes me a while to get around to that part! 🙃
You two are so cute together, and how nice that you both love the ocean and all her treasures so much. My local beaches here in Southern CA are having gigantic waves from storms right now so we're advised to stay away for a while. Thanks for taking me to the beach anyway! Appreciate you both.

It was SHELLAPOOLZA & we were so lucky to find so many murex! 🤩🐚 I bet we even missed a few! 👀
Great shelling video as always! You found some beauties. And, yes, my husband & I finish each other's sentences too. I do believe that happens when you're very happy together after so many years (you two are so cute together 😊). Back to shelling...❤

Ty part 2 of collecting 🐚. I am not able to get out to the ocean right now. I have learned a lot of the both of you, I will be watching more videos ❤😊
Thanks for coming along for the adventure! 🌊👣🐚
I love seeing all the shells and critters you find on your walkabout. Found some info for you for the whelks, South Carolina has a highly regulated, short exploitation window for whelk (usually mid-February to mid-April) that is further limited by fishing gear restrictions, weather conditions, minimum whelk harvest size, and marketing opportunities. Hope you have a great day.
Thanks for sharing! & Thanks for tagging along for the adventure! 🌊👣🐚

I have never seen the Eastern murex. So beautiful!!!!!
Definitely 💯 one of our favorite beach treasures! 🐚👣🌊

It is a fun hobby! 🌊👣🐚

We love them too! 🤗🐚 It's a blessing to have a good partner to help us spot things we may miss! 👀🐚😁👍

Happy New Year to you and family. I've enjoyed every video you make but the beach is my favorite. Where else could I see a beach trip and be in my PJs drinking coffee.

You did good today on the Giant Eastern Murex I was so excited
Us too! Such beauties! 🤩🐚
I wish I could get some of those shells I will have to take the pixs of my big shell and smaller ones
Thanks for sharing!
The beach is my happy place and I hope to make a move so i am closer. In the meantime I will keep watching and loving your videos! IMO taking live whelk would be no different than taking crabs, clams or oysters. It all seafood 😍
Glad to have you join us in the meantime! Yeah, we agree. We may have to try it one day.
That is a Moon snail egg casing! We have them here in WA!

We don't paint them.
Have ya'll ever seen a live angle wing?
We have NOT! 😳 Well, except for the tiny ones (the false angel wing/piddock clams) living in wood like I mentioned in the driftwood.
Shark eye egg collar 😀
You got it! ✅️
Your guys have eagle eyes. 😮
👍 Well trained! & we are on the hunt! 👀🐚
We’ve been to Hunting island a couple times and found some good shells… what drivable beach would you two say is the best in SC to find good shells?
Hunting Island is our favorite drivable beach! I hear good shelling things about areas of Myrtle Beach, too, but I'm not very familiar with that area.
Happy New Year!
Thank you! Same to you! 🎆
That is what a moo snail puts out.
Exactly! ✅️ You got it!
What do you do with all those shells? How do you clean them?
We just rinse them off. We have them sitting around everywhere.
I need to go to S.C.
We do have some beautiful areas from the mountains to the sea! 🌄🏔🌅🏖
Sea turtles are predators of some of the shells too, especially the Florida fighting conches and the whelks, they will chomp down and leave the cobb of the shell with big hunks missing out of it. I can’t remember which species of turtles are that eat them, because some sea turtles are herbivores and some are omnivores.
Yep, loggerhead sea turtles eat whelk & other seashells (mollusks). Loggerheads are very common in our area, so I assume they are the culprit for some of the broken whelk that we come across. It is pretty incredible 😳 to think of the pressure they have with their bite to be able to break such a thick shell! 🐢 😋🐚💛
This is beautiful. Is there a difference between an angel wing shell and what us Floridians call a turkey wing shell?
Yes, & there are several different types of turkey wings as well.
I’ve never seen a “kiner” welk. Very interesting! You are finding great shells. Are you going to have a sale sometime? I’m just north of Charlotte NC.
