    Showing footage of the ocean looks similar to the coast where I live along the southern Oregon coast here in Brookings. Shelling, such as it is here, you have to be vigilant of the sneaker waves that come out of nowhere and are able to wash you out to sea! They have signs here that say never turn your back to the sea! All the beautiful finds today made my Monday morning and congrat's on the cowrie find! Still washing my feet off after this stroll with you and, of course, thanx for letting me tag along....in 4k, of course!!!

    You should go to Navarre Florida. I typically find lots of flat scallops, bittersweets, imperial Venus, cones, augers. You can also find sundials, distorsios, scotch bonnets, cabrits murex. It’s a beautiful, chill beach.

      @solaceinshelling6552  8 місяців тому

      A couple of my favorite spots are the Pier, access 3, and access 6, but it all really depends on the day and if the tide has pushed up any shell beds. I have been a few times and gotten totally skunked - of course I don't upload that content 🤣

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  8 місяців тому

      I generally walk south from the pier, but walking north can be great too! It all depends on where the tide and winds wash up those shell piles. This was really the first time I "dug" for shells, and that was only because I spotted a couple of the Murex's sticking out of the sand. Someone had found them all previously, and left them on the beach. Then, tide water and wind covered them up with sand again.

    That’s my neck of the woods. I live further south. Unfortunately the majority of shells that wash up are too worn to be collectible. The exception is finding areas after beach reconstitution projects. Then you will shells in amazing conditions and some true rarities.

      Hi friend, I appreciate you voicing your concern here.
      I always try to be mindful of my own beach-combing footprint, and try to follow guidelines of ethical shelling; maintaining respect for the live creatures on the beach and in the ocean(it is their habitat first and foremost), limiting the amount of shells I collect, and trying to leave the beach a better, and cleaner place than how I found it.
      I also frequently promote this education on my channel as I realize it is important to sustainability.
      Thank you again for watching!
