You were like a kid in a candy store today! 🍭🍭🍭 Beautiful cowries, beautiful spanglers, and a beautiful hairy triton! 🤩 I have three favorites… ❤ the Australian rock whelk, the volute and the orange drupe. 🍊 I’m so partial to the drupe family! Great episode Maddie! Don’t knock the minis cause I love those too! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 I really was spoiled for shell finds this time 🤩 I rarely built up that kind of momentum with back to back find unless I'm at Hervey Bay! I really did pick the right time; and now, it's all high tides during the day for the next few weeks 😅 so this really was the best time to find these untouched goodies! The Spengler's Trumpets (especially the large one) were just lovely today, and goodness, the Aussie Rock Whelk and Giant Hairy Triton are going to clean up so well! Oh gosh, a few people have mentioned liking that Orange Drupe today; I really wish I gave it just a few more seconds of screen time 🤣 oopsie! Aww Pam, you know I love the minis too, but finding the big 'uns like this was a nice change of pace 😀 I do probably love the minis more though; more colourful and easier to shore 🐚😁 Thanks for watching 🥰
G’day Jas 👋🏻🎉 Oh my goodness, thank you so much for the Super Thanks 🙏🏻 this is my first one ever!! I really appreciate the support and kindness; you’ve gone the extra mile (*ahem, kilometre) for me 💖 I’m grilled that you enjoyed the adventure…for this one; I was quite excited by the shell finds, and when I watched the video back I was like “uhhh, am I talking too fast? I think I’m talking too fast 🤣” and by the way, yes, I do have lucky pants! The lucky ones are the pair that fit the best after losing some weight, but they also have a giant rip in the middle! Extra shelling luck, but a bit of social embarrassment 😂 Haha, my motto is to just ignore everyone else sometimes 😆 it worked this time though, I can’t wait to clean up that Giant Hairy Triton and large Lace Coral in particular 🐌🐚 Once again Jas, thank you so much for the support, and thank you so much for watching 🥰
The caurica cowrie is the prettiest one I have ever seen of that species! Lots of fantastic finds, you always find something different! Love the volute and the *perfect* hairy triton too! Really hard to pick a favorite. You really have an eye for collecting, Maddie, I always enjoy your videos!
G'day my fellow shell collector 👋🏻🐚 The Caurica was surprisingly beautiful, right?!! I mean, the top pattern on it has obviously worn off, but it still has a nice shape and beautiful striking patterns underneath without calcification on it 😲 it made the shell look really cool just the way it is! It honestly looks like different shell entirely! The Magnificent Volute was a fun find; I don't find many in nice condition like that. The Giant Hairy Triton will clean up very nicely, I'm sure, and I can't wait to see how the shell looks under all of that hair 🤩 I wonder if it will have black stripes like my last one, or if it'll be a solid brown like the typical ones of this species 🐚 ahhh, I'm nerding out about shells 🤣 Thank you so much for watching this big adventure today 🥰
G'day Hilary 👋🏻🏖️ It was a fantastic haul, I was so excited to find such nice shells back to back to back! I don't usually build up momentum like that at this beach (maybe I'm too picky?) unlike the beaches at Hervey Bay. Oh gosh, that Volute is really cool with the big break. A lot of collectors don't like shells with healed scars like that, but I think it's really cool in this case!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Oh my word how stunning. Wow, what beauties. 🎉 I'm so glad you found the gorgeous Volute. Now I know what the shell's name is. 😂 I live in Germany and since we don't have shells on our beaches, I go shell hunting at charity shops and fleamarkets. I buy the shells that people don't want anymore. 😂 A girl has goto do what a girl has got to do. 😅🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚🐚 Enjoy your finds.
G'day Janine 🐚 Wow, guten tag to you in Germany (that's all the German language that I know😂)! I'm so glad that you like this video, it was a particularly lucky day in he rock pools. That volute was also a particularly nice one, and I'm glad that I could give you a name for it. A lot of volutes look pretty similar, but this one is actually a juvenile; an adult Magnificent Volute can grow VERY large (30cm long, or more)! I looked up shells in German and yep, there is not much to find at your beaches or wetlands. I love that you find your shells in the charity stores; I often hear from viewers in the USA that look in their thrift stores too; there is a lot of great shells to find in those places!! Anyhoo, thank you so, so much for watching ❤
Hi 👋🏼 Maddie!! The Australian Rock Welk is my favorite 😍 The shape of it is what caught my eye 👁️ 😮 The magnificent volute is my second pick! Very nice. The giant hairy triton takes 3rd!! Shoutout to the orange drupe, I just love them!! Thanks Maddie! TTFN 👋🏼 ❤
G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 Oh wow, the Australian Rock Whelk is the favourite this time! It's a wonderful shell; maybe one day I will go to a beach in the neighbouring southern states and find them more commonly 🤔 but that might be far into the future 😂 the Magnificent Volute from this one is wonderful too... Now I just need to find where I put it, I've been wondering if I left it at the beach, but that can't be right 😆 it's probably sitting in the bottom of my cleaning bucket, and I've overlooked it. Anyway!! Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
G'day Mary 👋🏻🏖️ You picked two amazing shells for the favorites: even I was surprised at how nice that worn-away Thick-edged Cowrie is; it's shape is nice, and it's not calcified, so it just ends up looking really lovely. That Orange Drupe was such a good one too, gosh, I wish I gave it more screen time, but I wanted to be out of the splash zone 😅 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Bearseyeview 👋🏻🏖️ There really were some lovely and nice quality, big shells this time! The Magnificent Volute is a goodie; I can't believe how intact it is considering how rough the waves had been lately. That Hairy Triton, my goodness, even the live one didn't look as nice as this empty one! The colours on the inside are just stunning. As always, thank you so much for watching 🥰 I'm sending warm thoughts to your chilly party of the world ❄️
Hello Maddie....nice to see you had a good day with the larger shells. I think my favorite is the Magnificent Volute and the Orange Drupe. It's always fun to see how many different kinds of Cowries you can find...looks like a great haul today ! Hugs from Ontario, Canada............Wanda
G'day Wanda 👋🏻💖 It was a very good day indeed - I was lucky with the tides this time; it looks like I won't be able to go out there for low tide again for a while now 😅 curse these high seas 🌊😜 Gosh, that Magnificent Volute was just lovely... In retrospect, I should have tried digging around the sand in that spot, it seems like a few nice shell got caught there. Anyway! The Orange Drupe was such a cutie too, I wish I gave it more screen time 🤔 Oh gosh, the cowries were fantastic today as well. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Reet 👋🏻💖 It was certainly a lucky day for me...I went back the next day, and the water was dirtier, ripplier, and more seafoamy...just awesome, I couldn't find anything! I used up all my luck with this trip 😁 that Giant Hairy Triton is so cool! I'm sure the white stripes have an actual name, but that's too technical for me 🤣 Thanks for watching 🥰
Maddie Hello, My favorites are Australian Rock Whelk, Thick Edged Cowrie, Orange Drupe and big piece of Lace Coral. Great hunting. Starting today 20's, teens and single digits this week in PA. But not as cold as -6 in Idaho where Roberta lives. Yikes! I have two super warm coats with big hoods to wear. Bearsy has 3 coats and is warm too. Take care Maddie you and Ninja. Much Love, TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 Oh wow, I managed to find a lot of favourites for you to pick this time!! The Australian Rock Whelk is definitely the best I've found (despite the broken tip, which I'm considering "repairing" with putty or oven bake clay?), and the worn Thick-edged Cowrie is surprisingly lovely too! It was a great Orange Drupe this time, and the lace coral, wow, I might do a bleach bathing Short for that one to see the colour change 🤩 Oh wow, it's so, so cold in PA!!! I did hear about snow storms there, I do hope you're keeping safe. I'm glad you've got those warm coats for everyone at home...I imagine you'll need them! At least you can make a snow man though, or maybe it's too wet for that ❄️🌨️? Take care too, and thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks Hey Maddie, Yes, a wonderful video for sure. We got 4 inches of snow this morn. Very hard on Bearsy. Had to make a long snow shovel trail for him. Chris came and did drive and sidewalk. Hope all your viewers had better weather except Idaho. Take care. XXOO. TRUDY
Oh my goodness, poor Bearsy! His little legs aren't long enough for that much snow!! It was very good of Chris to come and do your driveway and side walk. As for the rest of my viewers, I think the majority if them live in the Northern Hemisphere, so they're plenty cold too 🥶 but hopefully not snowed-in as much 😅
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 It's hard to pick just one favourite on a day like this 😁 the Lace Coral, wow, I can't wait to see its colour after a bleach bath; I'll need to be careful with it to keep it all in one piece. The Orange Drupe is a goodie too, a lot of people liked it this time, and I can't help by regret that I didn't give it a little more screen time to really look at it 😅 oh well! Gosh, that Volute though, it's a really eye catching one 🤩 I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it too. Thank you so much for joining me on this big adventure 🥰
G'day Hurriyet 👋🏻🏖️ It was a lovely day... I think it was supposed to rain, but it didn't; the weather was very calm 😁 a great day to look for sea shells! That Lace Coral is really cool, I might have to do a bleach bathing video for it! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, I think your lucky pants brought the shells! Loved the orange drupe and the caurica cowrie. Lots of lovely big shells. Swing those lucky pants! 😂 Who is this snaily boy going about his snaily business ?😂 That final display was great, colours, textures, it had it all. ❤
G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 Haha, the lucky pants are the ones with the big hole in them 🤣 I gotta sew those up before next time! Oh wow, so you were a fan of the Drupe and Caurica too - they've gotta a lot of mentions in the comments...really though, they are such lovely shells. Hmm, we need to think of a name for this snaily boy...any suggestions? I think Baldy would be appropriate; this Giant Hairy Triton didn't seem to have any hair left!! Thank you so much as always Alison ❤️ the final display was a nice one once I got those snakeheads to line up; they sure didn't want to!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi, Maddie what a wonderful day shelling! I'm going withe orange drupe, and the juvenile Arabian. Of course the magnificent volute is very cool. You just had a great day. It's minus 6 degrees here in Idaho this morning and yes it's very cold. My poor chickens and ducks 😩. Thank you for making me feel warm for a few minutes 😂. You really did have a good day shelling. Hervey Bay is cool but I missed all the cowries. Sending hugs, have a wonderful weekend
G'day Roberta 👋🏻💖 I'm so glad that you enjoyed the shells this time, the drupe and Volute were so cool this time!! I have missed the cowries too 😉 but ahhh, the tides have not been kind to me, and they won't be good for the rock pools for the next few weeks unless I go at night or, you know, 3AM, so uhh, it's back to Hervey Bay for next time 😅🤣 I promise I have some goodies to show. Oh sheesh, wow, you can keep that cold weather 🥶 I like winter, but a Queensland winter is a lot warmer than an Idaho one... It never gets below 40F here 🏖️ keep you poor chicken and duckies nice and warm, oh gosh, the poor babies!!! Sending warm thoughts your way, Roberta 🥰
G'day Mikhail 👋🏻🐌 I was super lucky 🤩 I went back the next day, and all of these rock pools were covered in seafoam again 😭 so this was the best day to find the shells that no one could have seen yet! The little drupa was a nice shell, I wish I showed it for longer in the episode 🤣 I was talking way too fast this time: the excitement does that to me! As always Mikhail, thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 Oh yes, this drupa is very bright and beautiful🤗, they are not always so beautiful. Oh, so sometimes the sea foam hides the shore, I somehow didn’t think about that. And now it’s snowing outside our window🙂❄❄❄
The drupa looks the best because it is wet in the video; it will turn more white when it dries... Drupa shells usually need a lot of mineral oil on them because they are thirsty shells! Ahhh yes, when the waves are rough and the windy is strong, the water will whip up into a foam and completely hide the rock pools. It's gross to touch, and it's not easy to move. The water under it is usually very dirty as well, so it's not easy to look at for shells. Oh, but it's better than snow ❄️ stay warm, Mikhail!!
@@SandCoffeeRocks Thank you very much Maddie😊, by the way, yesterday I dissolved lime deposits from Drupa using Cillit Bang🧴😂, but different species of Drupa have different surfaces and these deposits also have different densities🙂
Hello Maddie. How to pick a favourite when all of today's finds tickled my fancy... The orange drupe, ram's horn, and the caurica cowrie stand out most to me I guess. The sea bean was neat to see too. It looks like the same kind I seen today at our local thrift shop (in Canada). That is where I do most of my "shelling", 😅.
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🏖️💖 I know right, there are just a lot of nice shells - it's far too difficult to pick just one favourite!! All amazing picks by the way, the Orange Drupe, Caurica, and Ram's Horn were just wonderful 🤩 Oh wow, sea beans in the thrift store!! You know, it's probably the same species?? These things float all around the world, I think? And thrift store shell is also just as much fun as what I do 😉 I love looking at a good thrift store, though we call them "op shops" here, with 'op' meaning 'opportunity' plus it rhymes 🤣 thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻🏖️ I was extremely lucky this time...no one else was able to get to them over the last week because of the high tides and sea foam!! Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Sue 👋🏻🐚 The Orange Drupe was a great one this time! I don't see too many of them, so it's always a good feeling to come across one 🤩 The Hairy Triton looks like a good one too...it's still sitting in my cleaning bucket to be cleaned 😅 I'll have to do that we my bucket gets totally overflowing 🤣 or sooner, but I procrastinate!! Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day B2O3 👋🏻🔬 It was a fantastic day; I'm never usually this lucky in such a short time while checking the rock pools here 😀 that Hairy Triton in particular will clean up nicely! A juvenile Arabian is always a fun find too: I think they might be rarer for me to come across than the adult ones!? Anyhoo, thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@borontrioxide Hello to you in New Zealand! You have some absolutely amazing shells over there :D Also, yeah, I should do a bleach bathing video for this one... I do wonder if I do too many Giant Hairy Triton Clean-ups though; I already have 3 on the channel XD
haha there is never enough! it is so satisfying to see the clean-up.😄 you also have some gorgeous seashells there in Australia! mainly just paua and spengler's trumpets here in New Zealand
@@borontrioxide Oh wow, are you sure that's all you mainly find? I was sent a lovely amount of native New Zealand shells last year; Arabic Volutes, Pear Bonnets, New Zealand Moon Snails, tiny Wheel Shells, Tiger Top Shells, Kina, Ostrich Whelks, Sand dollars, and more! I think you maybe have more to find around the beaches than you realise!! czcams.com/video/PjOliCRxFw8/video.html
U are soooo lucky get those big shells,❤ My fav for this time issssss...... Australian Rock Whelk🎉 Its a cool one, Btw,3 days ago I also went to the beach for shelling, same like u,i could go to the area tht i never touched (thanks to the low low low tide) But I didn't get many big shells 😢
G'day Nelly 👋🏻🐚 The big shells have been waiting for someone to find them, they were hiding under the high tides 🌊!! The Australian Rock Whelk is very cool, it's always a fun one to find after a big storm. Aww, don't be sad Nelly, you had a great day because you got to go to the beach 🏖️ and sometimes, the smaller shells are even rarer and more precious than the big ones! I hope you brought home something nice in the end 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks ouchhh thank you Maddie, U are right, i got my 1st wormsnail (not big,but its my 1st one) Also many small operculums, And i always look to your videos to get information about wht kind of shells i found,thanks again for your great videos 💜
@@nellyjune9828 Wow, that's awesome Nelly!!! A worm shell is an amazing type of shell 🪱🐌 and little Operculums?! Gosh, those must be adorable 😍 I never see very small ones here, so I think you are quite lucky!!!

As always Mikhail, thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 Oh yes, this drupa is very bright and beautiful🤗, they are not always so beautiful. Oh, so sometimes the sea foam hides the shore, I somehow didn’t think about that. And now it’s snowing outside our window🙂❄❄❄
The drupa looks the best because it is wet in the video; it will turn more white when it dries... Drupa shells usually need a lot of mineral oil on them because they are thirsty shells! Ahhh yes, when the waves are rough and the windy is strong, the water will whip up into a foam and completely hide the rock pools. It's gross to touch, and it's not easy to move. The water under it is usually very dirty as well, so it's not easy to look at for shells. Oh, but it's better than snow ❄️ stay warm, Mikhail!!
@@SandCoffeeRocks Thank you very much Maddie😊, by the way, yesterday I dissolved lime deposits from Drupa using Cillit Bang🧴😂, but different species of Drupa have different surfaces and these deposits also have different densities🙂
Love them all ❤great job Maddie!!
G'day Ellen 👋🏻🐚 It sure was a good day; I think I got there at just the perfect time to find these 😁 Thanks for watching 🥰
Hello Maddie. How to pick a favourite when all of today's finds tickled my fancy... The orange drupe, ram's horn, and the caurica cowrie stand out most to me I guess. The sea bean was neat to see too. It looks like the same kind I seen today at our local thrift shop (in Canada). That is where I do most of my "shelling", 😅.
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🏖️💖 I know right, there are just a lot of nice shells - it's far too difficult to pick just one favourite!! All amazing picks by the way, the Orange Drupe, Caurica, and Ram's Horn were just wonderful 🤩 Oh wow, sea beans in the thrift store!! You know, it's probably the same species?? These things float all around the world, I think? And thrift store shell is also just as much fun as what I do 😉 I love looking at a good thrift store, though we call them "op shops" here, with 'op' meaning 'opportunity' plus it rhymes 🤣 thanks for watching 🥰
Fantastic finds Maddie!
G'day Sugi 👋🏻🐚 Oh gosh, thank you so much 🥰 I really had a lucky day this time!
Great treasures!
G'day Kim 👋🏻🐚 Thank you so much, I had an exceptionally good trip this time! Thanks for watching 🥰
Wonderful shells 🐚 ❤️
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻🏖️ I was extremely lucky this time...no one else was able to get to them over the last week because of the high tides and sea foam!! Thanks for watching 🥰
@SandCoffeeRocks You're welcome, Maddie 🫠.
I liked the orange drupe. Would love to see the hairy triton after it’s bleach bath!
G'day Sue 👋🏻🐚 The Orange Drupe was a great one this time! I don't see too many of them, so it's always a good feeling to come across one 🤩 The Hairy Triton looks like a good one too...it's still sitting in my cleaning bucket to be cleaned 😅 I'll have to do that we my bucket gets totally overflowing 🤣 or sooner, but I procrastinate!! Thanks for watching 🥰
They are really amazing ❤.
I am jealous 😅😅😅😅
G'day Ruchi 👋🏻🐚 I don't often have such a good day like this 🤩 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
what an amazing day! love the hairy triton and juvenile arabian cowry!
G'day B2O3 👋🏻🔬 It was a fantastic day; I'm never usually this lucky in such a short time while checking the rock pools here 😀 that Hairy Triton in particular will clean up nicely! A juvenile Arabian is always a fun find too: I think they might be rarer for me to come across than the adult ones!? Anyhoo, thank you so much for watching 🥰
yes I bet it will! you should do a bleaching video for it! hello from your neighbor country New Zealand.😀
@@borontrioxide Hello to you in New Zealand! You have some absolutely amazing shells over there :D Also, yeah, I should do a bleach bathing video for this one... I do wonder if I do too many Giant Hairy Triton Clean-ups though; I already have 3 on the channel XD
haha there is never enough! it is so satisfying to see the clean-up.😄 you also have some gorgeous seashells there in Australia! mainly just paua and spengler's trumpets here in New Zealand
@@borontrioxide Oh wow, are you sure that's all you mainly find? I was sent a lovely amount of native New Zealand shells last year; Arabic Volutes, Pear Bonnets, New Zealand Moon Snails, tiny Wheel Shells, Tiger Top Shells, Kina, Ostrich Whelks, Sand dollars, and more! I think you maybe have more to find around the beaches than you realise!! czcams.com/video/PjOliCRxFw8/video.html
U are soooo lucky get those big shells,❤
My fav for this time issssss...... Australian Rock Whelk🎉
Its a cool one,
Btw,3 days ago I also went to the beach for shelling, same like u,i could go to the area tht i never touched (thanks to the low low low tide)
But I didn't get many big shells 😢
G'day Nelly 👋🏻🐚 The big shells have been waiting for someone to find them, they were hiding under the high tides 🌊!! The Australian Rock Whelk is very cool, it's always a fun one to find after a big storm.
Aww, don't be sad Nelly, you had a great day because you got to go to the beach 🏖️ and sometimes, the smaller shells are even rarer and more precious than the big ones! I hope you brought home something nice in the end 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks ouchhh thank you Maddie,
U are right, i got my 1st wormsnail (not big,but its my 1st one)
Also many small operculums,
And i always look to your videos to get information about wht kind of shells i found,thanks again for your great videos 💜
@@nellyjune9828 Wow, that's awesome Nelly!!! A worm shell is an amazing type of shell 🪱🐌 and little Operculums?! Gosh, those must be adorable 😍 I never see very small ones here, so I think you are quite lucky!!!
@@SandCoffeeRocks they are as small as my thumb nails😆
