new subscriber! i am saving up to bring my family to sanibel. for now, my baby and i would have to make do with watching youtube videos of people shelling. he is only 2, but loves shells and shell picking
I had the chance to visit Sanibel one time in my life and it was awesome ! I wish I could have spent more than 2 days there during our Florida trip!
Wow there are many shells I've never seen before. They are gorgeous! Love the accent btw.😊

Found on Sanibel Island
One of the fighting conch yes :)
How you polished your seashells. They are so shiny
That dépends of the shells! Many are naturally polished and some just need mineral oil. Check other videos to understand how to do it.
bit of a shame that when picked up, the shell is no longer in the light, so when talking about some detail or the underside, it's hard to see, might've been better to point to them on the table or turn them over and put back down onto the table
Thanks for your comment.

Shellll Yeah!!!!
Hello there. I am just now starting to get curious about shells. I am interested in some of the big gastropods. I have always loved nautilus which I know are cephalopods and bought a shell years ago. They are my faves. I am from Florida. My nearest beaches are Clearwater and St. Petersburg. I have seen many shells all my life as I grew up here and our beaches seem to be covered with broken shells and not sand so it hurts to walk. To me they are so common that I don't notice them. I find the Pacific to have really cool exotic shells but then I'm sure everyone thinks their area of the world is common and somewhere else is more interesting. It's too bad our shells aren't more exciting like the ones in the Pacific though. I liked this video it helps me understand things better and I might start with the cones. Luckily we have plent of stores that get shells from all over the world here in the St. Pete area. I just subbed. I'm 747 like the airplane haha.
Hello, I went a few years ago with my fam in Sanibel for 2 days, it will remain one of my best souvenir ever ! Thousands of awesome shells laying on the beach! Amazing. I loved the olives. The good thing is that your area has endemic shells. You won't find them in the indo-pacific area. That is the reason why a lot of caribbean shells are high priced. I am not a specialist of Florida shells but I'm sure you can dive for rare shells there! 😀
And yes you'r the airplane subscriber now! 🤣
this is awesome!!!
Thanks!

I think your UA-cam channel is a great thing, but I'm going to be honest with you, if you wear your mask and snorkel (probably your fins too) noone in the scientific community is going to take you seriously, the image implies that you dive for shells in approx 30 ft at best, you are missing out on so much more....btw your French accent is awesome :)
Hello, thanks for your comment. Though I’m not sure to understand the second part of your message about scientific community?
I am missing what? If you mean that I do not show enough scuba sequences in deeper waters, the reason is that actually I did not make a lot of scuba sequences, you can see some in Mauritius footage where you can see the barthelemyi cone shell in 27m of depth.
The scientific community knows me pretty well. I was invited twice in scientific missions, wrote 2 books about shells, help a lot with cone venom and I work with many museums. I have really nothing to prove to any, this channel is just another mean to share one of my hobbits with other shell lovers, just like my website www.seashell-collector.com
Happy Shelling,
David
@@SeashellsMineralsChannel the more that I re-read my statement, the more I regret it. I would like to you know that I meant no harm.
Michael Cowell Thanks Michael for your honest answer. I made some footage in Maldives (video is on the channel), were you can see me free diving down to 70 feet, if you like deeper sensations.
The problem when you scuba in diving centers, is that it’s not easy to shoot live shells as staff usually do not want any diver to touch anything... even if you replace them after the shooting... I can understand of course and that is the reason why even if I dive down to 60m I actually have only recorded very few dives. Stay tunned, I’ll manage to shoot while scuba in 2020! Bye David
