    This was another super fun video to watch. So many species and so many spectacular finds. I'm going to plan a trip up that way for sure! I need to have a shark eye day like yours. Simply amazing!

      Thank you so much! That first murex was probably my favorite, I've never seen a beach found specimen that spiky before. The FFCs were really unexpected and it was so cool to see them in decent numbers!

    My nana loved the lettered olive shells. I was always partial to the shark eye moon snails. You got some beauties.

    Well HOLY MOLY! Congratulations on these spectacular finds!! I can’t wait for part two! Those Murex shells are incredible! Huge fan of the shark eyes so that was super fun! Also I have to say I absolutely love when you shell in the dark! It’s so relaxing to me! Thank you for the awesome video!

      @shellstories  3 місяці тому +1

      I display them on shelves or have them in jars, and some just go in bins (I like to sort them by species). Thank you for watching!

    Was this a winter hunt? I was amazed and excited about the huge shark eyes and the giant eastern murex shells!

    • @shellstories
      @shellstories  3 місяці тому +1

      Yes, this is from winter. Those shark eyes were so fun, they're so hard to find intact when they're that size.

  • @Me-mt8it

    So, question- bc you shoot your videos at night and early early morning.. is the shelling not as good during the day? Like too many shellers picking through?

    Wow , all those Eastern murex, amazing!! I love the bittersweets too. Still working on getting to Holden. It will probably be in cold weather but shelling is better then anyway, right?

    • @shellstories
      @shellstories  3 місяці тому

      Thank you so much! Yes the shelling is better when it's cold. Although in today's climate it is not that uncommon anymore to hit warm stretches with highs in the 70s even in winter in the NC/SC coastline. Hopefully you'll find tons of awesome stuff!

    I noticed you don’t pick up the all black scallops or clams. Is there a reason they’re my favorite cause they’re so unusual they stand out.

    • @shellstories
      @shellstories  3 місяці тому

      I have so many discolored ones that I don't feel the need to pick up every one. That's awesome though that they're your favorite!

  • @Me-mt8it
    @Me-mt8it 3 місяці тому

    So, question- bc you shoot your videos at night and early early morning.. is the shelling not as good during the day? Like too many shellers picking through? …. And is there not anyone on the beach when you go? All these amazing finds to yourself …Also I’m dying over the giant murexs’ that is the one shell I’m wanting to find

    • @shellstories
      @shellstories  3 місяці тому

      It's definitely better the earlier you go, though in popular shelling areas like Holden there's going to be competition 24/7. I wanted to catch the low tide which was before sunrise, and I do tend to have better luck early. That being said I have had really good finds during the day on beaches that had been combed over many times so you never know! Thanks for watching :)
