Florida shelling in Southwest Florida; they don't call it the seashell capital for nothing!

howdy beach friends all right we're off to fort myers beach once again this is from september 5th i haven't had a chance to edit this and get this out to you and i certainly wouldn't want to you know not share a lovely day like this with you so it is from a few weeks ago and i hope you enjoy [Music] [Music] okay so here we are at fort myers beach and i managed to find this relatively beat up lightning walk with a hitchhiker looks like we got some sort of slipper snail attached there oh good old florida fighting conch just hanging out there in the low tide and it looks like a moon snail yep ah not the most perfect one i've ever seen but that's a good start a little sarah orange scallop i love those orange guys and an olive nothing really remarkable about him just plain old olive this guy looks a little shinier than the one before again nothing terribly special another sarah they're kind of fun i wish they would get bigger they usually stay about that size and then this lightning will hold a special place in my heart because someone who recognized us as swf beach life gave it to me pretty cool and here we have some olives you know me or if you've watched me before you know i have an infatuation with olives and it was a pretty day birds were singing waves were lapping and here we have a broken lightning walk oh well and a florida fighting conch he's a pretty sizable guy complete with a barnacle pretty orange guy and a nutmeg now that white stuff on him that pretty much will pick off so i'm gonna keep him so this is what i'm contending with it's a real challenge because you see the shell and by the time you go to pick it it's gone so i like the challenge though i'm going to get this olive i'm still searching for another golden olive and here we have a little it's broken that's a nutmeg and another nutmeg with really nice color and a broken crown conch bummer oh and an apple mirex i managed to pick right out of the water there you got to be quick right here it's gone i almost look at it like a video game like with the different difficulty lev levels i'm gonna say like the muddy water is like is getting up there from a difficulty level but i did manage to grab this this other olive and they found some coral and coral's neat and another nutmeg we're going to celebrate fall in style i look forward to finding congo he's got a well he's a little broken but he's got a cool white stripe kind of going across him kind of neat oh and a lightning milk yeah the little guys always have that better color and another florida fighting and a shark eye he's a little chipped what what do we have here whoa a relatively sizable crown and a little pear whelk with a little tiny hole and another crown cool whole bunch of barnacles that's those will come off real easy i love those guys and some scallops come here one of the middle scallops i know and olive i can't help myself well looks like my husband is sharing his treasures we have a pear whelk top of a crown trunk a tulip and a rock well i don't know why i find the rock funny and then three shark eyes and a nutmeg that shark eye on the bottom is actually really nice and an alphabet cone which i know it basically has no color but that's what that guy is oh that's pretty good size apple murics what do we got here oh and another one oh he's pretty he's a little thin on the aperture there but he's pretty all right two bulks and two nutmegs that was easy that's a big nutmeg too and unfortunately i learned that the acid does not take that green stuff off and then we got two olives a lightening bulk and a crown and a partridge and a pear tree and here looks like we got a lightning walk and a shark eye an olive a crown and a pear whelk on the bottom i don't know what that other whitish shell was maybe a florida fighting kanken here's a most of a tulip it's kind of beat up which is too bad here we have an apple mirror x two olives an auger and a shark eye he's doing pretty good oh two sand dollars yay i'll show you how i uh keep those in a little bit here's the tops now lord of fighting conquer i like this guy because it's still got ribs on the other side and then it's got the smooth cross on this side so he was making his way up to being a little bit more adult like this guy he's all smooth yeah the adults will be smooth but the little guys will still have those ribs on them oh those are kind of cool vertical like squiggly lines that's kind of some neat colors on him and a lace mirror i don't know why i used to have such a problem differentiating the lace and the apple because now i can just you know look at it and tell but that my friends is most of a lace mirex and that yeah it's a giant horse conk no a piece of one anyway i'm still i'm still waiting i'll find it one of these days and another sand dollar i know he's real dark but he is perfectly safe to take home he's dead and a sunray venus i always count on these guys to be around too those are kind of cool and a little lightning well a little chipped lightning lock with a shell jammed in the aperture ah two for one and another sand dollar looks like this guy's been around for a little while but i bleach them all anyway so i'm sure he'll clean up just fine and what do we got here a broken shark eye what else we got another sand dollar oh he's a really good one all right so this is what i do guys and it's hard to film and do all this with just the only two hands i have but i carry around a hard container and then i put the sand dollars in it so that way they will be protected and they're not gonna get broken when i'm dropping all those florida fighting in my shell bag so here is a sunray venus that was snacked on by some critter i'm going to guess a moon snail that hole is and it's so round it's like a perfect round hole oh a tulip that's not broken and it's not itty-bitty that's exciting i hadn't found one of those in a while at the time so that's a pretty good find even if it is a rookie show i want a shark guy he's been kind of bristled up and a scallop oh it's a swell scallop and most of the inside of a florida fighting there's this look at that shell just kind of jammed in there but you get to see the guts of it i like that heading back up so we already went south and now we're heading back north again and i oh i still always find stuff even though i've just walked the beach i'm still going to find things like this this lightning welcome a couple barnacles but they will definitely come off a turtle sighting all right it's just people enjoying this lovely day and can you blame them no that was nice so this is what we managed to get on this fine day let's start over here it looks like we got a couple augers and syrups and whatnot some lightning walks bunch of sand dollars that were protected by my little trick using that hard plastic case we got some florida fighting punks a couple of tulips some coral and whatnot some nutmegs couple pear walks some olives some scallops some shark eyes crown conch it was a good day we got some exercise we found some goodies what more could one ask for all right i could ask for a rental trap or a giant horse but when it's my time to find those treasures i'll be sure to bring you guys along with me as always you guys are the best i cannot thank you enough for your comments for watching you guys are rock stars i'll put out a new video again soon and i'll see you then
