Thanks for taking the time to write me a little note. I am so glad you enjoy my videos and I am very sorry about the loss of your husband. I have a lot of time to think at the beach and I often think of my friends and family who aren't here anymore. The beach has a way of healing I think. Thanks for watching the videos and letting me know I'm being watched even over in Italy! ❤

Thank you for Sharing your beach walks. I know it’s really hard to beachcomb and video at the same time. I think you do a great job!

Yet another fun upload! I totally understand we can't possibly spot everything, but I believe I see a fairly large black Lion's Paw at position 19:45? You had zoned in on a Sand dollar and apparently failed to notice the Lion's Paw. So fun to tag along on your hunt. Thank you and stay safe.

I would have kicked myself if I really had missed a Lion's Paw but I see the shell you're talking about. That's a discolored oyster shell - luckily! Some of the oyster shells really do have that "hand" look to them. Whew! I would have been so bummed if it was a Lion's Paw! I did find a Lion's Paw on Captiva. Not sure if you've had the chance to watch this one but it was a stellar shelling day! kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJ6FuqSxd63efJM.html

Wish I was right there, I would love to be that somebody that you leave those shells for! You are so sweet to think of all the other shelters! There was a really pretty purple coquina I would have scooped up so fast! Great vlog as always, thanks for sharing 🤗

We're staying on swfmb right now & your videos have helped our family identify what we're finding. Love watching and hope to see more videos on cleaning/ caring for our new treasures, I'm totally hooked on beach combing! Sadly we must return to the midwest in a couple days, but I'm taking you with me : ) subscribed, can't wait for the next video. Thanks for sharing.

What amazing feedback! I hope you have the best time on SFMB. I bet you found tons of Florida fighting conchs ;) If you found sand dollars, maybe try to bring the home in a "to go" container. I had cut a seltzer bottle in half and put my treasures inside and then taped it back together. I promise I'll keep the videos coming!

Nice finds!!! Love watching the stormy waves!!!🌊

When I was on Sanibel, a local told me the best shelling is after a northwest wind at low tide.

This is true. And unfortunately the northwest winds are typically winter winds - not summer :( I have a while to wait!
