What a great video. That big knocked whelp was just gorgeous. I do have some sad news for you though Jamie. My middle daughter passed away very quickly 10 days ago. Her name was Amanda and she was 35. Normally I would walk the beach when I feel sad but tonight I chose to spend it with a great person who Always makes me feel better. I pray you and Kim stay safe in all your travels. Love your videos . Can't wait for our next beach trip.

We haven’t found anything in OCNJ. A woman came up and commented how everything has been broken and there haven’t been decent shells. 😢

I know exactly where you were! I shell there often. Thank you for not disclosing. It is a delicate and protected habitat that really doesn't need a ton of people trampling and crowding. I'm so glad NJ was good to you. My husband and I are heading up your way in the beginning of June! I'm so excited to see what Massachusetts and Maine have to offer shelling and metal detecting. Too bad I didn't know you were here I would have showed you another beach that is even more bountiful (and smaller so easier to see it all) than the one you were on. Maybe next time!

@Shelling With Plum Island Sea Cabin This reminds me, when you said mossy rocks. The picture I purchased, I know you took it, but did you process it to that wonderful medium yourself? Somewhere in that NJ video is a beautiful section of the grassy rocks and another, maybe in video #2, of beautiful video of the rocks, sea, and fog. Whenever you have time to look, would you see if a still of either footage would make a good photo like I purchased. I would love to purchase those if they could be done in the same medium.

Watching you shell and finding all the moon snails I can't help but wonder if it's possible to polish them. I know the insides are so silky smooth, do you think it's possible to make the outside that way? And I wonder if those wonderful colors would stay. Thanks for all the great videos.

At 17:50 if you have thick shells like that, not larger than 1-2 inches, could you make buttons out of those? with a piece of wire at the back making a small ring? Perhaps you should team up with the married couple from S or N Carolina, salty reflections is their YT name. Tons of those Busycon carica and canaliculata. I am sure they can help you find a truck load....

I think it is very selfish of Kim to not disclose the location in NJ. Does she own the beach? Probably not! It is very frustrating to watch someone from out of state enjoying shelling in my state and I’m not allowed to know where you are. I’ve been going to NJ beaches my entire life and have never ever found anything but broken shells. You were very gracious with information when I reached out to you about coming up to to Plum Island to shell. You told where to go, when to go and even where to stay. But Kim thinks she has the right to keep these shelling spots secret! I would like to know what county you were in at least please.

Hi Debbie! I should have stated this in the video, but I didn't think anyone would be upset about it, Kim is one of the kindest people I have ever met and this was not something she asked me to do, this was a decision I made on my own. I feel that people are gracious enough to invite me to their favorite shelling spots and I want to protect the locations as best as I can. With that being said, with a little research on the local areas, anyone can find the best beaches for shells. I'm sorry your feel this way, but please understand, this was my decision and not Kim's. Thanks for watching 🥰🌊❤️✨️

@JerseyShoreShellingMama

Жыл бұрын

I don’t think it’s selfish. I am a sheller in Jersey and I figured out the good spots by going shelling in random spots and FIGURING IT OUT MYSELF. This location was disclosed, and it was foggy and I could tell where they were bc I know south Jersey beaches like the back of my hand. I have a beach that used to be my secret spot and then everyone started telling everyone and now it’s crowded there every time I go and it isn’t as relaxing and I don’t find like I used to. If it really means that much to you,I’ll tell you, they were in Cape May County. But knowing what county something is in doesn’t mean you are going to find a bunch of shells, it’s all about timing, winds, time of day, tides, moons, storms, so no matter if they disclose to you or not you could go there tomorrow and find zero shells. If you would like me to take you shelling one day so you can find some good whelks and sharkeyes, hit me up. Let me know. I got you. 😊
