Looking for Florida sea shells is exhilarating as you scour the beach looking for sea treasures. Today I happen to also find shark teeth and I have an amazing manatee encounter. Florida beach life at its finest!

I totally agree, Jenny! Definitely shark's teeth! You were right near Venice beach, so not surprised you found shark teeth! There are sooo many there! My dad took my family there years ago and we found tons of them! It was very exciting, but also scary why there were that many prehistoric sharks teeth there?! Lol! ) : It kept us out of the water at that beach because of it! Lol! ( :

Yes! I’m not an expert but I’ve been shark tooth hunting and what you have to remember is there were many different kinds of sharks. You can even find the tooth plates from rays.

Not me - I was neck deep in water AND snorkeling when I did go to look for shark teeth the first time we went. It's a good question though as to why there are so many teeth in that area 🤔

Yes, Virginia, that is a sea robin! And the Manatee is nothing to sneeze at. So wonderful to see that. I did get to see one in Tampa Bay a few years ago. The two pieces of black are fragments of sharks teeth. Some ancient sharks ate clams and had grinding teeth, not just the fang type. The shark tooth at 22:55 is a sand shark tooth with the very end broken off.

@SWFBeachLife Жыл бұрын

This beach is just awesome. Critters, shells, teeth - and I got to experience a little of everything. Thanks for the sand shark tooth ID. Those I know - the other more worn down ones, not so much. But I did keep everything and it's a good thing. I would have been bummed if I had left those teeth at the beach!

My love of the beach began there. I love all the shells from the big to the micro. Lol! As a teen my high school's band teacher won a jingle contest for Libby's canned foods and part of the prize was our marching band (my sister was in) got to march in the parade at Disney World.

No matter how many times I tried to put space between us they just kept coming closer. The experience is right up there with swimming with the manta rays in Hawaii. Both were some of my favorite bucket list things I’ve done.

Oh my heart; as a sea glass hunter (mostly in Maine) who has only found two pieces of sea glass so far in SWF, it made me sad for you to toss that piece of glass into the garbage (at 19:50 in the video). Tried to look closely at it and it seemed to have started getting rounder edges/didn’t appear to have sharp edges that would hurt feet. Over the many years of sea glass collecting, if it isn’t ready, I often just throw it back in so that, some day, it will come back frosted and beautiful and another collector will find it. What’s weird is that I have cut my foot on the sharp edge of a broken shell, though. That aside, love this video, your finds and the exciting experience of “swimming with a manatee”, however briefly! What fun. Thanks for beautiful and uplifting content! I so appreciate it.

I (now) always wear beach shoes and I don't know why but I envision some kid getting their feet cut on the glass so I always, always pick up the glass on the beach and put it in the recycling bucket. I have found about 3 pieces of actual sea glass and all of it was on Sanibel. Those pieces I kept ☺️ Oh the manatee made my day.

@SnowPink90 Жыл бұрын

What a great walk today!! There were so many things that I found so very cool and one that I absolutely loved, was the Slipper shell. It’s always been my favourite!! The Orange Scallop was so pretty, same with the Worm shell, they’re pretty cool and the Coral was awesome, then there was the Shark Teeth, amazing!! BUT the one I loved was the Manatee!! WOW!! That was soooo awesome and beautiful!! What can I say other than, I really want to go down there and shell one day because of all I’ve seen on your videos!! Thank for such a gorgeous, beautiful beach walk!! Have a great week Sharmon!!☺️🐬

I was hoping for a big horse conch, but I'm not going to complain one bit. Gorgeous day, gorgeous beach, shells, shark teeth AND a manatee? I would say this beach has been very, very good to me. Thank you so much for letting me share my beach adventures with you!

I have been startled by all sorts of creatures but when I see a big dark shape in the water I immediately think - MANATEE! I was happy I was able to get a little of my encounter on video. What a day I had - thanks so much for coming along with me!

Hope you're doing well. Awesome beach walk as always! 😍 So cool that you got to visit with the manatee 👍. Definitely looked like a beautiful day to be at the beach 🏖️. Headed to Rehoboth Beach this weekend for a week vacation. Can't wait to get in the water and get some shells of my own😁🌞.

Loved seeing the manatee in your video. I agree that all of your black finds are shark teeth. My favorite place to find them is Casperson Beach in Venice. I just use a colander from the Dollar Store.

@SWFBeachLife Жыл бұрын

That's where we went when we had the grate in the water (I showed a quick shot in this video) and it was SO much easier hunting that way. At least I had my scoop and managed to find a few. It was such a fun day.

Loved that worm tunnel and the coral. So different than your usual finds. I would love to get my hands on the piles of shells and fill a large plastic Costco container (like Cheetos). I have been making my jewelry since I was 10 (58 years now) and I am having visions of all the different jewelry I could make. Like the ones you put back because half was gone or all the little ones with holes already. I enjoy your expeditions. I don’t know how you know all the names. Manatee was huge. 💚💚💚

@SWFBeachLife Жыл бұрын

I can imagine it would be frustrating to watch if I'm putting back your jewelry supplies, but I'm just not as crafty or creative as other people so I'm typically looking for shells to collect. Sometimes someone will put in a "Special order" and I'll hunt for a specific shell or materials. I'm very curious and like to learn the names of the shells and I've been practicing for almost 3 years now ☺️

So some things to share after watching this week's Beach Walk. 1. I Laughed out loud when u saw that shell and said " Shut Up "...Like Lliterally laughed out loud on my couch here in Virginia! 🤣🤣🤣. Some years ago i had gone to Myrtle Beach and just scooped a bunch of little shells in a baggy to look at later....the run of the meal half clams and broken shells....well about 2 years later when i remembered to actually look at what was in the bag i discovered i had scooped up a Shark Tooth!...had no idea! My favorite shells ( well 1 of ) is the lady in waiting ( which i didn't know that is what they were called till watching ur videos so thank u....also sometime ago I found what looks to be a baby Banded Tulip ( it has faded red bands on it....Woohoo!l
