I usually will clean shells with a bleach water bath/toothbrush and soap, but sometimes acid just does the trick perfectly and quickly! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful trip. And thanks for cleaning the shells. I think it really helps to identify and appreciate them. Happy shelling!
Hi Brian! Amazing video. Greece is a beautiful place. Loved it all, rocks, gorgeous water . You take us to some beautiful places! Thanks for letting us join you.
Thank you! How beautiful, the color of the water, the shells are stunning with the stripes and colors. Those beautiful round rocks. I’ve always wanted to go to Greece, hopefully one day. Simply divine. Praying for Florida. We head to Marco Island for a week Saturday. I know you love Florida too. We usually go to Sanibel (1995) but she’s mending. Blessings.
Florida has a very close place within my heart, and my shell soul 💛 I hope you can get to Greece one day... the people, the sea, and the locations are absolutely stunning!
You never disappoint! That rock you found with a hole in it in the rockhounding world is called and Omar Stone. That's a term given to any rocks that you find that have holes in them. I've heard they are caused by the forces of water washing on the stone for Millenia. When a weak spot is found the hole can go clear through.😊❤
Woww, I've never been in Pigadi of Xigia (Πηγάδι Ξυγκίων) or Vrodonero (Βροντόνερο), even though I'm from Zakynthos! Next summer, when I go again, maybe I'll visit them! My dear patriot said that there are many shells at Lake Loutrakiou and that's true. I just wanted to tell you it's not actually a lake, it is a beach, that's just how we call it (Λίμνη Λουτρακίου)😁. Awesome video, like always😊👍🏻
Very beautiful video. In Greece, we have very beautiful shells 🐚. The big one you found that has like thorns. We call it purple ( πορφυρα )💜. In ancient Greece, purple was processed, and with the color they extracted from it, they dyed their cloaks (and clothes).In red and shades of red. One can find many shells in the Corinthian gulf,in ancient Epidaurus,on the Argosaronic island of Aggistri. More generally, in the Peloponnese. And in the lake Loutrakiou. I would like to ask you a question. In the solution, you put the shells and in what quantities. Thank you very much for showing the beauties of my homeland. 🥰
@@playmobil6263 Καλησπέρα σας. Χαίρομαι και εγω πολύ που μιλαω με Έλληνα. Στην Ελλάδα αυτο το κοχύλι λέγεται πορφυρα. Αλλά στα Αγγλικά μεταφράζεται purple. Αν ζείτε στην Ελλάδα περνώντας την Κόρινθο με κατεύθυνση προς Ωραία Ελένη. Πριν την Ωραία Ελένη αριστερά και πάνω στην θάλασσα υπάρχουν αρχαία εκεί έκαναν την επεξεργασία της πορφυρας. Με το χρωμα που εβγαζαν εβαφαν τους μανδυες. Γνωρίζετε μήπως σε τι διάλυμα έριξε τα κοχύλια .Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ. 🥰
Yassou my friend! I very much appreciate your historical anecdotes - I would love to get to some of the beautiful places you have mentioned - perhaps one day! For the mixture, I usually will mix 3 parts water, and 1 part muriatic acid - too much acid has the potential to destroy the shell quickly. I also will often use a 50/50 bleach water bath and a toothbrush to remove particles. Thanks so much for watching! 🇬🇷
Long time follower here and I love you videos!!! I’m glad their were a lot of living creatures there is it possible you give a name or more direct area of this exact beach I’m traveling there in March thank you in advance 💚
There are SOOO many tiny pebble beaches tucked in the nooks and crannies of Zakynthos. The first place is called Xigia Pigadi, and is on the north eastern side of the island. I have also heard that Laganas Beach has many shells you can snorkel for in the shallows. Have fun on your trip, and thanks for watching! 💙
I find it interesting that you do not leave anything out...big or mini. All shells carry the same weight...all God's creatures...so beautiful and calming that I found myself yawning alot...lol...so, I'm going to bed and enjoy the moon as it shines over my part of the Pacific and, of course, thanx for letting me tag along yet one more time...in 4K...!!!
Hi! Yes, the first part was uploaded last year, almost immediately when I returned from the trip. I feel fortunate to be able to get to quite a few places to explore, and collect shells - this usually means that I often don't upload content chronologically. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your viewership!
Part 1 of this adventure can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/Fn2oy3v6Mqs/v-deo.html 😃🇬🇷
Beauty in the Greekos Land.
Beautiful shells. What a difference the acid bath made!! The seaglass is a nice bonus, 💙.

Thank you so much for watching!

Cave shelling with the crystal clear Mediterranean water was amazing, and highly recommended for the shell soul! 🐚💙
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful trip. And thanks for cleaning the shells. I think it really helps to identify and appreciate them. Happy shelling!

Wow it sounds absolutely beautiful where you live, my friend!
Thank you as always for continuing to come along on these shell journeys... in 4k!
Ok so that was making me clostrophobic even here in new zealand..😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for watching, shell friend!
I throughly enjoy your videos and appreciate the effort put into them.. just wish you'd pick up more yellow shells 😄 🤣 😂
Such a beautiful video! Thank you so much for sharing. Did I miss part 1 or was that the video from 10 months ago?

Did I miss part 1?
Pinned above 💙🐚
Are you using bleach to clean shells?
For this particular episode I used a Muriatic Acid/Water Combination - 3 parts water, and 1 part muriatic acid.
Thanks for watching!
