What a beautiful collection and array of shells at the end. There were so many. After hand picking, at the end, you could fill a few buckets of shells and sort at home because so many olives, etc, weren't picked up. It was mayhem in there. 😂 You all found something special. My heart was racing listening to the screams and shouts for joy. That is such a special thing to be able to get shells like that. Shell heaven arrived. 😅🎉 Yay. 🎉

23:10 looks like juvenile Cassis tuberosa or king Helmet. Look at the placement of the dark spots on the outer rim, 23:40 Oliva bifasciata, it was sometimes listed as a subspecies of Oliva reticularis. I don't know the English name.

Nice I see the striped brown now listed as that name and the solid (and then also striped) as Oliva fulgurator. Interesting 👍🏼

This was a "memory" video (I mentioned that in the intro part of this video) of this awesome time! Maybe one day they'll do it again! but these events are less and less with each dredge project unfortunately. I so wish the counties would do this with "each" dredging you know. Even if after the project they just scatter shells on the beach or something you know!. Anyways, thank you for watching and your comment :-) Take care!

Unbelievable! I’m so envious. How do you know where they are dredging and if the shell piles are open to the public? I have only seen dredging on Sanibel and Ft. Myers Beach. They block off the area and no one is allowed past the barriers.

Yes more often than not they don’t let anyone near. Was very thankful they had this open. I saw someone on facebook posting finds from there and I just messaged her and she was kind enough to tell me about the pile; usually people are tight lipped and I get it-you don’t want to post something then like 100’s of people show up and they just have to close the pile b/c of too many people….anyways, you can google Florida dredging projects and websites have lists of active and future projects. When they are happening you just got to actually go there and talk to one of the guards to get information.

Where do you go to check when there is a dredge?

@FloridaBeachWalks

You can Google Florida dredging projects and some websites give a list of current and future dates/locations then you can go check it out-I ask the guards questions. Sometimes in shelling groups on facebook it’s mentioned. In this case I asked a lady I saw in a facebook group and she was kind enough to let me know a lot of people don’t say and I respect that 👍🏼

How do you know when the beach is going to be dredged?

@FloridaBeachWalks

3 ай бұрын

You can google Florida dredging projects and some contractor sites will have a list of current and future projects; drive down to the area that's having it and ask the guards what's going on - if there are any public piles etc. In this particular case I saw someone post in a Facebook group and I private messaged a lady who was kind enough to tell me where. Most people are tight lipped about it, which I get, you don't want 100's of people showing up the next day (might get shut down w/too many people). If anything, places that have dredging, it's good to go when it's over or a couple weeks after it started as it has stirred up that part of the beach and shelling "could" be good in that area for weeks.

How much longer will they be dumping the shells there? Is the dredge project over now?

Be careful to look through coral if fossilized there's agates inside them get them cut open. If you inspect them you'll see signs in most cases.

How did you find out about the shell dredging so you could be there?

@FloridaBeachWalks

Ай бұрын

For this particular dredge pile I found out from a shelling group more than a month after it was open to the public--messaged a user if I remember correctly to find the location. Army Corps of Engineers are usually in charge of the majority of dredges here and if you google them you can find their current and future project location and dates. The majority of dredge piles are not open to the public for piles but I try to shell in the areas during and after dredges because shells are always stirred up at and near the dredging locations. Also, make friends with dredge guards...most have been so nice and helpful b/c I always go and ask questions directly to the guards (some not so nice and will just blow you off). Hope that helps!
