  • Today I am back shelling on Hatteras Island in the North Carolina Outer Banks! Today I am once again exploring the southern facing shore of the island, from Frisco towards Cape Hatteras. Let's see what shells I can find!

    The Outer Banks is one of my favorite places to shell. Makes me want to go shelling now ❤

      Thank you so much! There are some areas in the Outer Banks that can be quite fruitful actually. Thanks for watching! :)

    I'm going to Nags Head in August. This video is definitely getting me prepped to do some shell picking. 🐚 Thanks.

    This is inspiring me to go shelling when I get to outer banks next week….thank you for the education, now I will have some idea what I picking up. I have never learned any of the names but appreciate viewing them all!

    I think those broken welks make great rock garden additions!! You got a good assortment especially those giant sharkeyes. Babyears too!

      I would have to agree, but they are too bulky to travel all the way back home. We did actually find a bunch of intact ones after a storm, just I haven't been able to edit those videos yet as I like to go in chronological order, and I just haven't gotten there yet. Thanks for watching :)

    Great finds, especially those two intact Scotch Bonnets that late in the morning! Lots of footsteps near where you found them so it goes to show you have a keen eye!

      Thank you! Agreed, there were loads of footsteps. I'm surprised I found what I did. That shell pile was something else!

    Nice scotch bonnets! And how awesome that there's so many baby ears down there! That big one your found was huge! And crazy you found a piece of tun all the way up in the Carolinas. Fun finds - thank you for sharing!

    • @shellstories

      Thank you! Tun shells are actually quite common up north, but are so darn fragile they just almost always fall apart. I couldn't believe all those baby ears, and the bonnets were nice surprises!

    Not living near a place known for shelling. Like even some of the broken shells. Amazing to get a look at how they are internally. Wow, BIG shark eyes. Blustery weather! ♥️👍♥️

    Did you walk North or South from ramp 49 to get to the large shell beds?

    • @shellstories
      @shellstories  2 роки тому +1

      It was actually east. The alignment of the beach is more east-west than north-south.

    Did you go after a storm?

    • @shellstories
      @shellstories  Рік тому

      This actually was a few days before a storm. The currents around Cape Hatteras are very strong, and piles of shells often come without any storm influence.

    Why do you throw the shells you don’t want? You never know if someone else might find beauty in it and want to collect it.

    • @florida_shelling
