Learn how, when and where to look for seashells & train your eyes how to find/spot/discover sea shells/shark teeth/fossils in the sand along tide wrack lines. Common beach treasures found beachcombing, sea shelling & exploring along the Lowcountry Ace Basin Beaufort, South Carolina coastline include whelk (knobbed/knobby, channeled, kiener, pear), lettered olive (SC state shell), shark eye moon snails, angel wing shells, clams (Quahog, Venus, jackknife, razor, imperial), blue mussels, lucines, murex (giant eastern, lace, apple), sea urchin, sand dollars, seastar/starfish, tulip (banded & true) auger, baby's ear, coral frags, jingle, slipper, drill, periwinkle, egg casings, horseshoe crab shells, sea sponges & seawhips. Our favorite rare beach finds include Indian artifacts, vertebrae, giant tun shell, mermaid purse, fossil shells & antique bottles! Along our virtual beach walks, we encounter living sea creatures, including hermit crabs in the tide pools. We have a huge seashell collection. We give away a lot of beach treasures via channel giveaways & to our Patreon Patrons as our appreciation!
Crabbing tips & tricks: how to/what to use to bait & catch blue crab with crab pots/traps or baskets; how to measure blue crab/stone crab claws; how to clean/cook crabs; how to determine sex/maturity of blue crabs; regulations & requirements for crabbing in SC.

I so miss my husband shelling with me for 30 or more yrs before he passed. Good memories I treasure! I finally got my daughter turned into a shell hoarder so that's all we do at any beach. I'm leaving tomorrow for North Myrtle for 4 days. Have not been there in over 20 yrs. Im going to slide up to Holden and check it out. I just want one sea biscuit. Never found one. I love any kind of fossils too so wish me luck!

I love the sea briskets, I never saw anything like that. When I was able I would go to the New Jersey beaches. The common ones for you at your home are the common ones for the Jersey Shore except olive shells which are really nice. Thank you for bringing us along. Really appreciate it.

That piece of shell y'all were trying to figure out at 8 min sure looks like a piece of horse conch, but not sure they're up there... Steph, I know you know you're lucky (blessed) to have a spouse that likes to shell! They were probably walking the beach when the tide was higher.😊 Yep! You found a piece of a lion's paw! And those little pointed spiny shells are tusk shells! I guess I like shelling by myself because I don't want to find something that might make someone feel bad that they didn't find it. But once in a while I walk with a friend. We try to stay out of each other's way. We're both pretty serious about it! Lol. I was blessed to find a big 12 inch horse conch yesterday!❤️ YFSS saying thank you and signing off.

First off I'm so Happy that so many wonderful people love our little piece of paradise, here at Holden Beach NC!!!! Second the piece of shell at 8:33 in the video is a small piece of "FLORIDA HORSE CONCH". Thanks for sharing our small piece of paradise with the rest of the world in such a beautiful way. I am an avid sheller and have been my whole life, but due to health issues I am unable to get out on the beach in the winter, when the weather is so cold. I've really enjoyed watching your video's. I'm praying that the warm weather hurry's and comes back!!!! I can't wait for the HOT SUNNY days of spring and summer!!! Thanks again for your video's and because I am a local, If at anytime I can check on anything or answer any questions please feel free to contact me. If your interested let me know and we can figure out a way for you to get up with me.

The East end of Holden at low tide is the best shelling spot. The ocean floor is flatter there and the waves are smaller, allowing more shells to remain unbroken. We have found many live sand dollars and whelks there, as well as many large, perfect shells.

We have only visited this beach twice, both times for very short trips so we don't know, really. We found the rentals online & there were plenty to choose from depending on proximity, size & budget. Also, online search showed a few different public parking areas. The beach is pretty long, so there are plenty of areas to explore. We had heard from viewers around the pier is better so we explored that area so I don't really know about anywhere else. It was a lot more to be found last year when we visited but we still found plenty of good finds ... but we had to look & walk a lot more this visit than last year. Good luck & Happy Shelling!

We pick up & collect whatever strikes us at the moment.
That white piece of a shell was a portion of a horse conch…the thick chunky black piece that Oliver said was ‘the largest sand dollar in the world’ was part of a giant tortoise shell….but yawl probably knew that cuz you joke a lot🤪

In reply to Oliver’s question: Do you like to shell alone or go with someone? I love going with my husband Tony…He is my buddy and I can’t imagine going by myself❤

Yeah, we think it was turtle, too, possibly. Although that would be one heck of a sand dollar to see! 😁🤯 Glad you have a shelling partner, too! 🤗 Thanks for coming along for a cold beach adventure! 🌊🥶👣🐚
