I love watching your videos. BTW, I didn't read all the comments, so maybe someone already told you that collecting coral, even dead coral, on Florida beaches is illegal and can lead to huge fines.
Yes, if you look in this video’s description you can see posted this disclaimer: Coral returned to the ocean. For more information: florida-beaches-info.com/can-you-take-dead-coral-from-florida-beaches/ Recently I have learned this and all has been returned; I spoke with Lane Garrett from FWC Marine Fishery Management myself over the phone, at the beginning of this month, who kindly explained it all. I told him about my channel etc. and he said putting the disclaimer was fine. I have that directly displayed on the screen in some videos like my MacArthur video when I show the shell finds. Thank you so much for reaching out with your concern, hopefully more people can be aware of this law (reef protection act) too that was passed and became law in 2009. Blessings & happy shelling!
Oh my goodness thank you! It’s by the grace of God 🙌🏽 I have to center myself daily in Him ❤️ Thank you so much for watching and happy to know that you are enjoying these videos 👍🏼
It’s really nice there Nancy I think you’ll really like it! And just a tip there is only a fixed Porta-potty bathroom there, but there is a beach right before this one & has some really nice bathrooms and showers called Hobe sound Beach Park just go there to use the bathroom before and after that’s what I do all the time and it’s free parking at that one (you do have to pay at Nathaniel P. Reed). Thanks for watching!
I wad enjoying every minute of this walk! The paws the bonnets and the view of the beach was heartwarming.. thank you.. and wow that milk conch. I have never seen one that color! Precious!
So happy you enjoyed this walk Kathy! Oh I know that orange color was crazy. I researched it; asked friends, "is this really a 'milk' conch?!" I have NEVER see an orange one. I found a piece of a hawks wing too in that "same" orange color. So it might be something endemic to that area in relation to what they eat around there. Anyways, thank you for watching.
Oh the memories! When I was about 10, (50 years ago) my family would drive up there (from WPB) near Sand Sprit park. Not sure if that is still there. It was an isolated beach. There would be mounds and mounds of shells about 4 ft deep. It was Heaven. Not sure why. Maybe it had been dredged or just untouched. We would sit on top of those shell dunes and dig for hours. When we stopped finding, we’d move a little further down the beach. There was driftwood too. And once I found a kukui nut. They’re from Hawaii! I’m surprised you found so many Scotch bonnets. They are so fragile and were highly sought after. And that gorgeous conch! Happy shelling and many blessings!
What amazing memories thank you for sharing. I could get lost for days on a shell mound too lol. If I find a good hill of shells I have to peel myself away lol. Lido beach was my shell mountain heaven (my first couple of videos Lido parts 1 & 2). Thank you again for sharing and watching-bless you!
Oh my gosh, what an absolutely beautiful Milk Conch!! I can’t believe how vibrant and orange it is. A shame that it needed to go back into the water, but hopefully I will wash up again for you someday 😉 Until then, there are always plenty of other great shells. Surprisingly, I liked the vibrantly coloured oyster too!!
I was stunning! I was happy to spend a few minutes with him. I had to look that one up hard to be sure it was a Milk Conch! I did find a piece of a Hawkwing Conch that same orange so I'm thinking it's got to be something endemic to that area. Thx for watching!
I believe that large gray piece was probably an old tv screen glass. I saw another beach comber pick up some like that at a different beach and he explained that it was from an old tv. That lions paw was awesome. Blessings
Ive never found a lion paw. I found several kitten paws last year on my trip to Florida. I need to find different places to go for shells. Loved the video!
Oh I sure hope you can find one next time you go shelling for them. If you have the chance give Hobe Sound a try 👍🏼 It’s so beautiful and the further north you can make it on Jupiter island the better the shells get. Thx for watching.
Just found out about your channel from my niece! I live on the west coast of FL but hope to be in this area in September. Love that you have a Scripture verse at the end! Where there's a design, there's a Designer!❤️
Oh nice! So thankful you both found the channel! I have wanted to start this for years-now is the time! Yes, I love that…He is an amazing designer. I just marvel at all God has created ❤️ Take care and thank you both for watching!
Oh sure, in all the piles I've found it's been word of mouth or shelling groups on Facebook and also, I've just driven by to check out the dredging project that I find online. If you google army corps of engineers dredging projects a lot of links pop up. SO many don't let the public shell in their piles so it's so nice when they do but it's not often anymore due to liability I'm assuming. I've heard "back in the day" they didn't even restrict those piles you could just walk right up and shell --- ohhh what fun that would be...these days is a different story they have guards and everything around those piles. 😭
A couple yrs ago in winter. I am sharing all my saved up walks first while starting this channel (mixed with current walks). Winter shelling is better (Nov- Feb). Shelling is always a hit a miss on the east coast. One day there can be lots of shells others there is nothing or very little (heavy wave & windy action usually indicates not much washes up but can produce great shelling after like 2-3 days after). Sometimes I go shelling and I don’t find a thing…but it’s always a great experience no matter what.
I've been watching this video over and over, I just can't figure out where this is! I see the wildlife refuge, but it it not on the ocean (it is inside of the island). Could this be Hobe Sound beach?
Yes it is Hobe Sound at Nathaniel P. Reed National Wildlife Refuge. I have that in the video description too. If you Google that you’ll see a map overview of the area 👍🏼🐚❤️ A nice place to shell.
Just remember the collection of any stoney coral is prohibited and against the law. Throughout the state of Florida, the collection of stony corals, fire corals, and the octocorals Gorgonia flabellum and G. ventalina (common sea-fans) is prohibited.
Yep 👍🏼 that is listed in the videos description. My other videos I have a note on the screen about “all corals returned to ocean”. I have no coral in my possession. 🐚👍🏼 Keep spreading the word and thx for watching!

You always find lovely shells. Thanks for great content. Rachelle, Australia 🐚 🦘

Ohhhh a TV! Thx for that 👍🏼 Jupiter Island sure does have its share of beautiful Lion's Paws. Thank you for watching and blessings to you too!

I have been meaning to ask you where did you find the location that allowed public to go to the dredging disposal site?
Oh sure, in all the piles I've found it's been word of mouth or shelling groups on Facebook and also, I've just driven by to check out the dredging project that I find online. If you google army corps of engineers dredging projects a lot of links pop up.

Was this a recent trip? And was this a good day or is this how many shells are normally there?

Do u ever find limpet shells on east coast?
Yes, we do have them Pam especially at parks with rocks in the water like south Hutchinson Island. Thank you for watching.
That looks like fun. But at least please pick up the small pieces of trash, as well. Keep America beautiful, and safe.
Absolutely, I don't film myself picking up every bit of trash just FYI :-) We can all do a small part for sure. Thx for watching.

Please do your part and pick up small garbage!
I do 👍🏼 Thanks for watching.
