  • I had the amazing opportunity to meet up with Sharmon from SWF Beach Life, and we shelled Keewaydin Island, Florida together!
    I have followed Sharmon's shelling journeys since the beginning days of her channel, and so it was quite the honor to be able to meet up and collaborate together on a shelling video project like this!

    If I had known you were a cone magnet I would have begged you for your secret! Thank you so much for meeting me and collaborating on this shell trip. I'm thrilled it was a good shelling day and we both got some great goodies!

    You sure did find some beautiful alphabet cones, especially that large dark brown one. You also found some exquisite lace myrex.
    For a minute i thought that white fighting conch was an albino which would have really impressed Sharmon. And the fighting conch with golden and white stripes...wow!
    Glad you enjoyed yourself; thanks for taking us along! ❤

    Hi Brian 👋🏼 Everything you found was absolutely stunning 🤩 I love the sound of all the shells tumbling around in the waves.. I call them Sea Chimes.. 🥰 So calming just like wind chimes😊 My Mom and I are going to be vacationing at Marco Island the first week in June and we are planning on going to Keewaydin. We cannot wait! I hope 🤞🏻 to find an Alphabet Cone, Gaudy Natica & Lace Murex & Rose Murex.. I have yet to find any of those.. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!! Take Care! TTFN 👋🏼 ❤

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  Місяць тому +1

      I think you'll definitely find an Alphabet Cone, a Gaudy Natica, and a Lace Murex - those shells are pretty common in this area of Florida. The Rose might be a little bit of a challenge, but I wish you the best of luck!

I have also posted and asked where you are in Maine as that is where we live. I have shelled a couple of the same places that Sarmon has been. You both do a great job sharing, and I thank you both for taking me places that I will never travel to and you both love Florida Fighting Conchs....you sure found beautiful ones today.

    Sharmon probably already told you, but the land snail, I believe is called a Cuban Brown Snail or something like that (they are always white when I find them. I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ why they are called brown snails, but apparently they come in different colors). Those purple lipped fighting conches are gorgeous, especially the white one with the pale purple on the lip. So fun to see a collab between two of my favorite UA-camrs. 🥰 I am really missing the beach right now, so I definitely enjoyed this! Thanks!

    How wonderful for the both of you! Nice and great finds. You shelled in the place I shelled when I went there. I have friends that have camped on Keewaydin a few times at very negative low tide where they walked out SO far at that tip. I will not even mention how many alphabet cones they collected LOL It's a haven for them and large horse conchs. Snorkeling there is also pretty cool too if you like that kinda thing. The current around the tip is strong if you go too far out but if you stay close to the shore you just float around the entire tip grabbing at shells as the tide takes you out...get out, walk around and do it again and again, it's fun! There are lots of piles out in the water close to the shore around the tip. From my circle of shellers the tip is one of the best places on that island to shell. And after a storm...good heavens there are so many large horse conchs it's ridiculous!

    At 1:10 yes I envy you... Nevertheless, I gave away my entire shell collection (you could buy two good 2nd hand cars for the money I spent) . I vcollected over 40 years and I come from The Netherlands. No subtropical seas there. The North Sea and the climate are a bit colder in temperament. Sea temperature is highest early Sept, about 20 degr C. Lowest in Feb/March with 3 degrees C. The North Sea shells are a bit less exotic I might say. No bright colours at the shores, mostly grey, cloudy, and cold rain...

      The shot at 1:10 is from an upcoming episode shelling/camping with one of my best friends 💙
      Interestingly enough, I LOVE Arctic/Boreal shells! The North Sea has some beautiful shell specimens like Neptunea despecta, Neptunea antiqua, and Buccinum species - gorgeous shells!
      Thanks for watching!
