Thank you all for your amazing help with shells and fish/shark IDs! After so many people weighed in, I'm thinking the sharks are bull sharks and the skull is a drum or black drum fish skull. I mean it when I say you never know what's going to be out there!

Apprentice…no my friend you are the QUEEN of the beach! And we are your loyal followers..thanks for bringing us along..❤

First time seen sharks so close. They never stop hunting.

Dear Sharmon, What a wonderful morning at the beach! Seeing those 3 sharks so close to the shore was amazing! I'm so glad that lady told you about them, so you and we could enjoy the sight of them. That little hermit crab was so cute! He really took advantage of you while picking him up. And the shells..... all those paper figs, you've got to love them. 😍 It's always so much fun to see how the shells clean up after you treated them. I had little hope for that true tulip, but it turned out amazing well! Sending you lots of love and, of course, a big hug, xoxo ❤, Ilona

Good evening, dear Beach Angel and all my beach-loving friends! I hope you've had a great week! Here in the mountains of East Tennessee, we're expecting six to eight inches of snow and temps approaching the sibgle digits over the next few days. Brrr! 🥶 Wow! Y'all did get clobbered! I was watching the weather and observed that the wind was pushing water on shore. Hope you remembered that sea horses get pushed way up the beach! Those sharks are so cool! When I was training to be a lifeguard, nearly fifty years ago, we were taught to punch a shark to discourage them. Their skin feels like sandpaper! Fortunately, I never had to do that! You're finding really pretty shells, big ones, too! I'm so happy for you! Oh, Beach Time! I wait all week for the waves which soothe my nerves and whisper their secrets to me. That looks like a gator to me! So glad you made a good haul today, Beach Angel! Those shells really cleaned up well. This always reminds me to clean my shell collection! Much live to all of you! Be blessed as you move forward with your lives. ❤🐚🧜🌹

About 4:00 on Sunday afternoon I start watching the clock in anticipation of your 6:00 beachwalk. Sharmon, You always make me smile. You are so appreciative of all the shells you find.❤

Enjoying a warm spell of -6 deg F in MT right now.... I would've been collecting every paper fig on that beach. Thanks for the virtual beach vibes!

Amazing morning of shelling! Those finds are gorgeous!!

The skull! I want to say it's a dragon! Yes but I can Dream. It was cool. ALSO Sharks and Dolphins! What a day for you. Nice. I haven't watched in awhile. My son is visiting in Tampa and I am so Jealous. If he goes again I gonna tag along just to go find shells. You make it so fun and exciting. Thank you.

Beautiful gathering of shells today! Though I do see this was four months ago. Thanks for sharing your experience!

So, Sanibel had a storm. I live in the Chicago metro area, we had snow storms Wednesday thru Friday, had about 10 or 11 inches of snow with lots of wind. I am watching this Sunday Night and the temperature is -13 with a windchill of -33. BRRR wish I was in Florida!!!

The orange shells..wow! The only thing I want is for your videos to be longer😁🙏

I love your videos. Your commentary is fantastic. It's so relaxing watching the surf and looking for shells.

It is - 9 degrees with 24 below wind chill. Your channel makes it warmer for us . Missouri winters are miserable. Great to see progress on s/b island. Stay warm and happy shelling.

You're my all in one source for shell information,I go on the web to find more pictures and do research,folks, this is the best shell videos you can watch.❤❤❤❤❤

🙋🏼‍♀️ FFC lover! I love the ones with the bright orange, or purple apertures /lip! Honestly if it is in one piece I will find a reason that makes it a keeper! Today is day three living in Fort Myers, can’t wait to get to the beach and start exploring. Made it to Bonita beach for just awhile before it started raining yesterday! Rain or shine this place is heaven on earth! Thank you for the walk!

I hate to say how envious I am right now of your wonderful beach time as we have 17* and going down a few more degrees, it sleeted first and now snowing. Yes, it’s pretty but I sure would love to be shelling. I’m glad you had a good day on the beach. For all of you inlanders that are getting snow too, hang in there. We’ll be back down to the beaches before too long. Have a great day everyone ! Thanks for sharing your beach time with us !

I ❤ scallops. And dog welks.

Well THAT was a phenomenal day at my old stooping grounds. The sharks were awesome! You gathered quite a load of shells. I'm living my life vicariously through you!! Thanks, as always, Shar, for taking me along. Until Sunday, my beach loving friend.🌇🏖❤

😮 my goodness 🦈🦈🦈!!! I've heard sharks can swim in water low as a few inches. Never believed that until now. What a wonderful shot 📸

You learned a thing or two and taught me a thing or 200! I know so much more about sea creatures because of you. Thank you! ❤️🐚

FYI- don’t plan a vacation thinking Sanibel Island is always full of intact shells. I did this and was sorely disappointed. Only sharp broken shell that you had to wear shoes on the beach so not to cut your feet.

I love the tiny shells

Love how the shark eye looked before all of it's lovely delicate decorations were removed. To each their own I guess.

I'm watching this video sitting on my balcony overlooking the Gulf at Tween Waters Resort! Tomorrow we leave to drive to the Keys for a few days before returning home to Kansas. I did find a piece of a junonia and this time was able to identify many shells, thanks to your videos!

I was shelling on Sanibel Sunday and saw the sharks also. Sanibel is the best!

The sharks made me start humming Jimmy Buffet's "Fins", lol. Great walk along Sanibel and the shelling looked wonderful. I really enjoy these weekly doses of beachy goodness!

We just flew into Fort Myers for a spontaneous 2 day vacation - on Saturday we drove by Ft Myers beach, but it was so crowded and traffic was so bad we didn't even bother stopping. We did stop and lucked out on a place to park a bit further south where the crowds had thinned out a bit. We had no idea that Florida's west coast was so good for finding shells. I could not believe my eyes with what we were finding... I was raised in New Jersey and we did occasional trips to the "Jersey shore" - but the only nice shells I ever saw were in the tourist shops - LOL. Only now after our return home to NYS did we find out about the shell "hot spots" on the SWF coast. We're already planning our return for a few weekdays to hit up Sanibel and Captiva. Oh, and as a newbe, the FFC is my favorite.

I'm a fan of the FCC as well. But I love the super dark ones, almost black and the buttery yellow ones the most. I do love an interesting pattern and the juvenilles as well.

Oh Sanibel. How lovely to see that Sanibel is coming back so well, I remember how bad it got hit in the hurricane - heart breaking but look at her now. Amazing shells and was it my imagination or were those angel wings huge? Amazing to see the sharks in so close, I would also venture a guess at bull sharks. You certainly got a pretty picture with the shells, sharks and dolphins today. Said it before, you have a tough life😂 Hugs, stay safe xx

Interesting tidbit... Bull sharks have been found in fresh water and have gone as far as Illinois via the Mississippi River.

A terrific visit to Sanibel.. thanking you for being our professional sea shell treasures collector!!!

Thoroughly wonderful “get-away” from January blahs up north. Loved seeing the sharks! Thank you ! ❤️

I think you are so cool I have learned so much from you I would seashell hunt in NSB, Fl lived there 9years I have seashells but NOTHING like your collection its Beautiful I truly enjoy your videos. Munchias Grascias!

I love the calico scallops. They are so beautifully designed and each one unique. I also love the olives even though they seem common to you. They are so smooth and a lovely shape. But who am I kidding... I love them all.

Love the sharks! Great shelling!

Another fun time at the beach, thank you ❤❤❤

So cool to see the sharks just lazily swimming around. Love your beach walks best part of my week

What a cool video shells, sharks & all. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much..always good to see Sanibel !!

What an awesome trip to the beach! Great finds, great sights, a time well spent!

Some really great shells thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖

Thank you for sharing. I love watching your videos❤

I also absolutely love the Florida fighting conch's!! I found Soo many on Ft.Myers beach in November, many I had to return to the water, but so fun!!

Great collect of scallops! ❤

So cool! I am sorry you didn’t have a good experience before! What gorgeous shells!

Such a blessed day! Love the sharks!! Love the shells!!! Have a great week!! See you Sunday! XOXO

I look forward to your walks every week. I would love to be able to explore and find the beautiful shells. Thanks for the adventure. 🦀🐚🪸

I miss the beach. 😢 Thank you for taking us along. ❤️❤️ I’ll need to try this beach on my next visit. Haven’t been there before.

I love the really orange colored fighting conchs!

My favorite part of a juvenile Florida fighting conch are when it has colorful ridges😊

Two of my most favorite things, sharks 🦈 and shells 🐚! What a great day you had on Sanibel!

I love the FFC’s colors at the aperture.

Thank you for sharing!

Great video Sharmon ! Cool to see the sharks . I just love beach combing with you lol Cheers

Thank you for sharing your time on sanibel! I absolutely love your videos.

That shark eye cleaned up is fantastic. Appreciate your dedication to beachcombing. Love seeing great finds. ❤️🇨🇦

I love your excitement for the sharks. I LOVE sharks and would’ve been just as excited. Thanks for sharing.

Watching your videos makes me long for running on the beach on Sanibel like I used to do soooo many decades ago when I lived in Ft Meyers

I love when you take use with you on your hunts. I wish I could go over there too... Love your videos... Thank you...🥰

Love the florida fighting conch...I collected dozens tumbling in the surf on Sanibel!

Wonderful video as always, loved the sharks!!! Have a great week see you next Sunday

I love the fighting conchs! When I went to Marco in November, I shipped home over 13 pounds of shells🤣 Going to be in Bahamas on the 5th of February for 2 weeks so I will be shelling till my hearts content❤

I don’t have and Florida fighting Chonc but love them and the crown choncs

We had a close shark encounter like that in Mexico Beach, FL in April 2023. So cool!

❤❤❤ Sanibel. I picked up something , like a sea slug that squirted liquid on me. I was afraid it was poisonous and put it back down 😮😂 !

I do enjoy watching every Sunday. You make me feel comfortable and calm. And that's a lot coming from an anxious introvert!

Would love to be there. It’s -32 C here in Saskatchewan, Canada and hot darn! It’s COLD. 🇨🇦☃️🇨🇦

Lol your comments about the hermit crab👏😃😃😃. Clever

They are some large angel wing shells and a true tulip shell. It was cool to see the sharks. The shark eye was gorgeous after it was cleaned up.

Yep, I do love the Florida fighting conchs -- especially the color variations displayed together! The caramel color variety remind me of a cameo brooch from my childhood poking around in a jewelry box.

Really enjoyed the barnacle encrusted moon snail.

Thanks!

I’m a huge fan of the lightning whelks, and those calico scallops with orange and purple always grab my eye! Love the horse conchs as well as the FCc C’s, the more pattern the better!!!

Looks like a Big Eye Thresher Shark that you saw swimming near the beach🙌🏼❤️🦈

My favorites are the lightning whelk and scallops.

I live in Oak Grove Missouri, so I really enjoyed going to the beach with you. It's 5 below here.

I love it when I find a florida fighting conch with a big spot of bright purple in the little notch at the bottom!

I just love being with you on the beach. 🏝️ I do really appreciate the Florida Fighting Conch’s too (even if they are “rookie shells,”) but I also love moon snails 🐌. I like tulip shells 🐚 and those cut ribbed arks are neat. I sort of liked that moon snail clustered with all those barnacles. It gave an interesting look to it. It must have taken you a while to pop em all off. The Acid really does the trick in the end. Can’t go wrong with it. Happy shelling!

I so miss the sound and smell at the beach.

I absolutely love your videos. Shelling is one of my absolute favorite things to do, but hard to do from freezing cold Minnesota! I can’t wait to be back down there in March!

I’m thrilled about the sharks! Dolphins!

You've given me a desire to take a beach trip just to look for shells! I've been listening to you and I'm beginning to remember some of the names. I'm 75, and would love to take a trip down to western Florida to look for shells. They're so pretty!! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and sharing with us what you've learned 😊❤

Leaving Naples, FL tomorrow after a few grey days of shelling. I heard your voice in my head as we went lol! My daughter and I are OBSESSED with Florida Fighting Conchs, and over 3 trips to the beach, we collected...wait for it...75 of them (We put at least twice as many live ones back into the water at low tide). TSA is going to wonder why I have ten Tupperwares of shells in my carry-on bag, for sure. LOVE your new video features of showing the day's haul all at once at the end, as well as the clean-up before & after. Thanks for all you do.

Lots of great shells today

I LOVE the Florida fighting conchs! My husband gets annoyed when I’m hauling them home in the plane all the time 😆. They’re so beautiful!

Those seashells so gorgeous 😍😍😍 I really like your videos

I love you videos I've learned so much from you I love shells but I think fighting conchs are my favorite the sharks that close to land were neat I love animals that little show off hermit crab was adorable thanks for the videos

Thank you Sharmon, I always enjoy your beach walks, I have collected shells since I was a child being raised in NE Florida. Having been up here, you know that you have a much greater variety than we do. But, shelling after a big North Eastern storm is glorious, so I have a good idea how you feel today.

Hi there. So fun. I’d love to go there Planning a vacation. For may. Recommendations ? Beach and shallow shoals are our favorite pastimes ❤

Sharmon I look so forward to you every sunday. Your voice calms me. I think you have become my therapy although I do love the beach and those shells. Last time I was on Sanabel was Sept and I gotta say it looks better everyday. Never saw sharks down there before. That was awesome! Not a bad day of shelling! As I always say "wish I were there." Hope you have a great week!

Wonderful walk!

My obsession shell wise is Lightening welks, shark eyes and Murex's. But now I'm on the hunt for Tulips and gauti nauticas that you've shown us. :)

I fell in love with the fighting conchs on my first trip to Marco Island. Also love the pinks/reds calicoes. I retire the first week of April and am planning 2+ weeks trip there late April. Need to download tide schedule and get my dates set. I love your videos bc I feel like I’m there. Thank you!!!

Sharmon, I hope you get many, many more monetary supporters so we all can go along on your adventures, which is expensive to do. I appreciate all that you do, your talents, your kindness, your thoughtfulness to your viewers and the environment. And, of course, the shells. ❤😊

I LOVE all FFCs because it is not something I can really find where I shell (well, I did find 1 and I nearly fainted)! So, too soon to have favs, but I do love the juveniles, the very spiky with the pointiest spires, and the knobless! I think that pretty much covers all of them! If I lived on the west coast, I would have a real problem!! Thanks for another great video--I was delighted when I realized this evening that it was Sunday (I'm also retired)!

My favorite shell, like you, is the Florida fighting conch! I love them for their color and sturdiness. My next favorite is the shark eye. Thanks again for taking us along! Till next Sunday!

My most exciting thing swimming in the water there was a Manatee which was out just a little farther out than the sharks. First close encounter with a sea cow. Did not touch it but watched the heck out of it.

Girl, it is SO FREAKING COLD here right now...I'm totally living through you for my beach fix..:) Those sharks were so cool...when were down in Englewood a few years ago someone spotted a hammerhead just offshore. Such cool sharks! Thanks for sharing!

I also have a weakness for FFC- I love the dark ones, the zig zags, lemon color, Caramel..
