If only EVERYBODY removed 50 pounds of garbage from their local beach. Then every day could be Earth Day. Thank you for doing your part and setting a good example

I hope it's not weird to say but I found your voice aesthetically pleasing to listen to while you hunt for shells it's just so calming 🐚🐚🌊👋

My mom had baskets of shells, when she passed my daughter took them and glued some onto a mirror. She turned her apartment into a visit to the beach, so happy she did that. Special way to honor my mom.

My 11 year old daughter is being granted a trip from Make-A-Wish after beating brain cancer. She chose Florida for a sea shell hunting adventure! We wanted to stay on Sanibel but were guided to Marco Island because of hurricane repairs. Anywho, after she decided where our adventure would be, we found your channel and have watched every week! We love all the information! We can't wait to find beach treasure and put our toes in the sand. Headed south on Saturday from WA state!

I saw the thumbnail and said oh look, wentzel traps. I find my shell knowledge has grown so much since watching you. I am so excited when I can identify them before you say the name.

The beach booger comment made me laugh. Love your videos! 😂

Love that laugh and how excited you get when you find your favorites. 😃

11? you found 11 Wentletraps? whaaaaaaa? well you for sure found the honey hole for them. and so many lace murexs, amazing, you really had a ball didnt you? LOL❤

Hello, Beach Angel! So good to hear your sweet voice! I don't remember ever hearing you talk about this park, but I can hardly wait! Wentletraps!? Yay! So many tinies! They're so beautiful in their miniscule perfection! I should have named you Hawkeye, my dear friend! I'll brt you'd be great at washing gravel to find gemstones! I'll take you to North Carolina one day and let you try that! Quid pro quo! That's a gorgeous lace murex! It will clean up nicely, I hope! That little dove snail is so wonderful! That the Lord of the sea should create an infinitesimal shell like the dove shell just because He wanted to make us happy is so wonderful! I'm sure He is laughing for joy at your delighted voice! Enter the wentletraps! What a great thing they are! Ooh, that is such a pretty flyspeck cerith! I think I could watch you pick up tinies all day! Is it the underwater topography and the currents that make one end of the island so different from the other? Wow, that pier stretched way out there! It's going to take a lot of time and money to repair that, for sure! Ian really did a good job of tearing the place up. Even our local newspapers have run stories about the damage you all recorded. They're calling it the hurricane of the century. I hope you folks never see another one that powerful and as destructive! We (Jimmy Buffett and all of us devoted Parrotheads) will always call those sharp little pieces of metal pop tops! I remember when my kid sister stepped on some broken glass one night when we were walking in the moonlight on Pensacola Beach. I carried her piggyback all the long way back to my little cottage! God bless you for picking up so much broken glass! You've saved someone a really bad beach experience! Love to all of my beachy friends and to you, my dearest Beach Angel, from Rebecca, the Lost Mermaid. 🧜‍♀️ ❤

It’s sad to see that Ft. Myers Beach still has much of the devastation we saw a year ago this past February. BUT it’s also encouraging that some places are coming back again. A little at a time. And you with those wentletraps! They look like tiny🍦, just as cute as can be.

When you say, “Welcome Beach Friends”, I get such a warm fuzzy-wuzzy feeling in my heart! Love your videos so very much!🐚🪴

It is hard to believe that shells this beautiful are out there! Thanks for sharing your beach walk with us. 🐚🪸

Yes, leave that crummy shell for someone else. ;) That just cracks me up every time you say: leave it for someone else, it's just too funny. ;)

I love shelling for minis, it always amazes me how much variety there is among those coffee grounds. The Wentletraps are stunning. Great video!

My all time favorites… tinies❣️❣️

So many memories of having our morning coffee at Bowditch..until Ian, we vacationed there every year..we will be back, and Bowditch will rebound! 😊 thanks for the trip back!😎

I love the littles! So precious and pretty! ❤️🐚

A little Beach Booger on it. ;) Too Funny~! ;)

I came all the way from central Tx to Ft Meyers for a week and was not disappointed Came away with 14lbs of treasures and picked up some garbage. Fl fight conch’s were everywhere and collected four containers of tinies. I can’t help myself once I started just creeping along although I’m 68 with copd and fractured my back twice; I felt no pain. My head was clear and happy and on a mission. Thank you Ft Meyers

I love the tiny shell hunt

Wentletrap Heaven! 😮

Since I have family who live in the area I'm always thrilled when you show the area! Have been a subscriber for a long time and thoroughly enjoy your videos!!! Thank you so much!

FAB - FAB - FAB as always in all ways!! Tx for taking us along for the wee tiniest shells.

Beautiful part of Florida. Peaceful and quiet. Love the part you showed of town. Cool shells too

Nice change of pace! #wentletraps! I like tinies. Nice to see you switch it up. Look forward to Sundays just to see what’s shaking. WI is nothing like SWFL. So, appreciate you sharing!

So many tiny shells.. My fave is the Baby's Ear.. Thank you for sharing so many tiny shells.. Wish I could shell with you..

Holy tiny island! What a great beach walk, those tinies are so fun and the wentletraps are just so intricate. Thanks for the lovely closing to the weekend!❤️🐚

Such wonderful tiny finds! The wentles are so pretty.

So quite little tiny stuff and soo many winteltraps, so excited to see them. Thank you for your wonderful trips at the beach. I love it ❤

I am passionate about the teeny tiniest shells and loved this video! Thanks for these videos!

Those Wentle traps are amazing. Love the true tulip. Beautiful. Love the Murex. Where would we park to go the beach? Thank you for sharing. Love Sundays for your video's.

You did such a great job explaining how to find Wental Traps (spelling?) that when I was in Florida in February I found some when I saw the “coffee grounds” in the water. I never would have even looked for them, but when I saw the conditions I remembered your video and got excited to look. Sure enough I found some! I was at about the same spot. Parked at Bowstitch, too. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. It was like having an instructor in my head as I combed the beaches for the first time in southwest Florida.

The tiny ones are my favorites!

Tinies! I love tinies! Especially wenteltraps! Great hunt!

WENTLE TRAPS!!! Yaaaay!!!!!🥰🥰

Ooh, you have some beautiful SCREEN SAVER photos in your etsy store now! I think you should consider selling prints, or higher-resolution downloads (so people can print on canvas, glass, whatever suits their decor).

The brittle star guy was so cute

Our Ventel Trap ( Dresden) are mutch bigger about 2 cm long. That is not available alot on our beaches. But my wife found a few on the beach's over our country. And every time she found one she is so excited like you are when you found one. The biggest one she got are 3 cm.

Sweet tiny shells ! Thank You for another beautiful day at the beach Sharmon !! 😊

Thank you, Sharmon, for sharing this delightful experience with us. The 2 highlights for me were all those wentletraps and the beach bowl! I must say I wish wentletraps came in a larger size. Don't you think that would be fun? But even though they are small they are a piece of art. They remind me of a wedding cake for some reason. Anyway, have yourself a great week!

at 2:00 it's beautiful over there. Nice quiet spot. I think on a day like that, you could come home with 50 wentletraps if you stick with the black patches. Seems to be Epitonium angulatum (Say, 1830), the Angulate Wentletrap.

I have said the exact same thing about the wentletrap and sharks teeth!! I went to Sanibel once when I first started collecting shells. It was during summer and I was so disappointed that I didn't find all those spectacular shells you see people posting they find. I then found your channel and I have learned SO MUCH I wish I had known before I went. I have found so many shells in what I brought home and now know that I have more awesome shells than I thought I did, like the wentletrap!! I can't wait to go back at the right time of year and take a tour now that I know what I am look at!!!

What a blast! I really love tiny shells. It's another whole world. Can't believe you found all those wentletraps that close to home! Makes me want to look for them tomorrow except it slows me down too much!😂 Thanks Sharmon! xxoo

Thank you for another shell adventure. Hugs from Johannesburg south Africa

Great hunt Sharman!! You hit the jackpot with the Wentle Traps 😊

I love all the tinys…..

Thanks Sharmon, I love tiny shells, especially wentle traps. I would not have been able to walk away from that area. I hope you have an awesome week!

WOW!!! That was a thrilling outing!! A lot of different shells, Shar. All those Murex reminded me of a TV show I saw this past week about Solomon's mines and how they made the purple dye called Tyrian. It was made just for royalty and the wealthy because they were the only ones who could afford it. Have you heard of it, Shar? They make it from the gland of the Murex sea snail.from the Mediterranean Sea. It takes 100 pounds of Murex snails to create 1 gram of the Tyrian dye. These snails are edible so nothing goes to waste. It hurt my heart to watch them make it but I also found it very fascinating. Ohhh,.. and I think the Cockle beach bowls look like huge Owl eyes. Is that weird or can you see it too? Thank you again for taking me along on another intriguing adventure. It was fun trying out a new beach! Congratulations again on lifting 50 POUNDS of garbage from the beach!! You're my heroine...(Not the druggy kind..hehehee)! Take care, beautiful beach friend. ❤🏖

Well that was fun. Sad to see so much damage still waiting on repair or rebuild but I guess there’s only so many construction people to go around. And even though the pier boardwalk is gone, there’s is still plenty of life going on around the columns. That looked like a perfect day, I definitely would have been in the water. You haven’t been snorkelling for ages either. You were snorkelling when you found your giant horse conch - seems like forever ago doesn’t it. Nice finds and lovely place to be. Hugs and stay safe xx

Thank you beach girl.

I love all the tiny 🐚

Absolutely Love the wentletraps. :)

All those wentletraps! Maybe some day I'll find some on my own (there aren't many up here in MD).Just know that I am cheering along with you every time you find one.

Oh so love the tinies ❤

So excited!! Am in Marco today getting ready to meet up with Ali for a shelling trip!,,

OMG….. I love all those wentletraps! I’m moving to Bonita Springs (part time) so I will definitely have to check out that area. Thanks for another new beach and fun shelling time!

We stayed at the Pink Shell Resort a few years before the hurricane. There were some nice shells and not very busy at Bowditch.

Tinies are my favorite! Awesome video! 🩷

Ahhhhh love that you found the wentletraps! ❤😊

Wow! Wish I was there!

All so very pretty!!

I have also found wentletraps in the high tide line on the bay side of Bowditch.

Love the tinies!!

Oh my gosh Sharmon!! Wentletrap heaven!! So fun. I love teenie's and tinies!! I could look for them all day. That bright colored true, so pretty!! Yep I could have me a good time there. Will have to check it out next time down. Thanks for another awesome Sunday "beach time" . Just makes a great start for the week. 😊🤗

I'm so glad I saw this! I'll be down there tonight...I'm going to have to check out this spot!

I Loved the Wentletraps at the beginning of the vid! Let's Go to the Beach...🎶 🎵 🐚 😎 ⛱️

I love the wee shells! Great video, Sharmon!

Love the tinies! ❤❤❤

So much fun!!! Thank you for letting us tag a long! Have a great week. See you Sunday!! XOXO

Loved this - I am a big fan of tiny shells!! Thank you for sharing - I miss Florida beaches. Might get to check out some Carolina beaches later this year.

This end when I visited Ft. Myers is so heartbreaking, seeing it still suffering! I am very excited for you that you found wentletraps! An your lille lighthouse jar will be happy for the new additions!

Love it all🐚

Love the small ones❤❤

Thank you so much for your videos 🤗

Thank you for the fabulous video. I really enjoyed it.

Hi, I want to come down and go shelling with you! You find the coolest treasures!

Thank you for the new beach ! Awesome finds ! Maybe Hope to also find my 1st Wentletrap !!

P.S. I have developed a new appreciation for the Cantherus Shells; they are beautiful. That red one was a real beauty 😊

Love the tinies. I have only found 2 of them: one at Keewaydin and one at Lighthouse.

Omg wentlentraps are adorable I haven’t found any yet but I’m really looking 👀 ❤❤

@ time 19:08 on your ring finger is that a tiny angel wing connected? Little shells are great finds! ❤

Wentletraps!!😀

The last couple of weeks I’ve been thinking about you finding wentletraps. It has been a while. 😊

You're amazing...50 lbs. of garbage taken care of. Hooray for you!! I'm really impressed with the wentletraps (and the fact that you said coffee "grounds" Twice, even 😊.) I have a question about them, though: are they always white? I'm presuming that, but do you know? Thanks you for another treat at the end of the weekend!!

Hi!!!! I LOVE YOUr videos. Oil went to do some shelling next weekend. I live in ORLANDO. Where did b Recommend me. Juno Beach or Clearwater for or Dunedin AREA

I think those are Lamellose and Humphreys Wentletraps

🧡🐚🧡

Good day! I have a couple questions, if you could help me with some info. When is it safe to travel to SWF, what time of year? Also, what city or town (location) would you stay in, if you are coming for a quick holiday? Thanks and happy shelling.

Great finds! I saw the black stuff washing up on the beach in my area. Why causes it bring in certain shells and what is it called?

10:03 there was a 3rd Wentletrap below your hand at the bottom of the screen

Strange, that beach is almost always covered with fighting conch shells but this trip, I'm not seeing any. Is this a seasonal thing or is there something else going on?

I want a Noble wentaltrap really bad!!

How do you get that dark sand and junk out of the tiny wenteltrap? I'm trying to clean out some spiral land snails and i can't get to the center!!! 😭😮

Have you ever shelled at Indian rock beach? If so how is it

How do you deal with the Noseum bugs what spray do you recommend?

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤

Will be at Marco next Saturday where can I find sand dollars

What is those coffee grounds

bubble looks like an olive

Do you ever take a bucket gather up debris and wash it out at home?
