- What a beautiful day; blue skies and calm seas. Unfortunately, the lack of swell didn't bring in a lot of shells, but I found more than I realised? The best shell had a crab that didn't want to move out (I don't blame him) but I still got a few beauties to keep for myself. Thanks for watching!!
Let me know which ones were your favourites ;D and if you enjoyed this and want to see more shell finding videos, I'd appreciate a like or a comment. I read all of them and try to reply when I can. You have no idea how much of a smile you guys put on my face. Thanks everyone!

G'day everyone! Wow, you're actually reading the description? Um, thank you! You will be rewarded with extra content... my Facebook page (link above) is loaded with out-takes and deleted scenes that don't make it into the CZcams videos. Check out the extra funsies over there if you're desperate for more shelling content ;D

I didn't even realise that Point Cartwright and the surrounding beaches had such lovely seashells until I saw "Shellcade Shelling Down Under" - I admired him a lot, and you can check out his videos here:

Great shells this time Maddie! What a lovely captain cone! So CHONKY! The variety of cones available is so exciting! Always excited to see what cowries you find! Nice to see the Chinese cowrie and the silly crabby boy calling it home. 🤭🤣😎 keep your chin up…. Your regular viewers know you shell sustainably and no crabbies go without plenty of options for homes. Blessings on your day. Thanks Maddie
G'day Abigail 👋🏻🏖️ Hehehe, that Captain Cone was nice and chonky for sure 🤩 Oh yes, I've had some lovely luck with cone shells lately 🐚❤️ but also a lot of luck with cowries too! I was very surprised that a crab was so happy with the Chinese Cowrie...I went to the beach yesterday and saw it again; he still has it as his home!! The crabs are overwhelmed with shell options, so they always always choose the best and rarest shells for themselves 😅 they know the good ones when they see them!! Thanks you so much for watching 🥰
G’day dear Maddie! I loved the live whelk, that was a new species for me Also that purple Chinese cowrie was cute. Of the shells taken I loved the little spotted drupe at the end. Im missing my fave the donkey cowrie. I guess they aren’t as common?
We are off to celebrate my hubby’s 59 th birthday. 🎉. Having Mexican food with kids & grandkids. Hope your weekend is a great one. 🐚☀️
G'day Mary Ann 👋🏻🏖️ I am late to say this, but happy 59th birthday to your husband 🎉🎉🎉 what an age to be fortunate enough to reach!! I hope you and the family had a fantastic time celebrating with him 😁 As for the shells, the live Whelk was a new one for me, as well as the Chinese Cowrie (I have bought and gifted ones at home though), and the drupe was lovely as well. Ahh yess, the Donkey Cowries are really not a common shell, I'd say that they're becoming more and more uncommon lately. Hopefully I'll find some when the next big mini piles wash shore; it's all been scattered microshells lately. Thanks for watching 🥰
Loved the wave design 🌊 on that nerite. I’m not sure which cardita I would pick since you know I love pink 💗, but I love the spines on the second one. What a fantastic cone shell 🍦🐚 day! Loved the prickly drupe shell and my favorite today was the orange drupe! Darn that crab for not changing shells 🤨. Another great video Maddie, thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 I'm terrible, I like the Nerites even though they're unpopular 😂 well, at least among my shelling friend group over here 🤣 they look at the Nerites and go "urrg" hahaha!! Ohh the pink Cardita was nice, but like you, I also wish it had those fabulous spines. Yes, the crabbie wouldn't give up his super beauty of a seashell...I guess I should start carrying around a bag with different sized Spengler's Trumpets for these kinds of occasions?? Thanks for watching 🥰
Hello Maddie! Eroded cowrie, orange drupe, and marriage cone, crowned cone with orange patch, prickly spotted drupe, oh my... there were just too many beauties to choose one favourite. The chinese cowrie was also very cool, 💜.
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 Oh wow, I think you really picked the best of the bunch to mention! That Eroded Cowrie was nice, I should have given it a favourite 😂 but the two Drupes were especially nice this time! Ahhh yes, I hope I can one day find a Chinese Cowrie (unoccupied) for myself some day too! Thanks for watching 🥰
Good morning Maddie, today I like the black nurite. I don't think I've seen that one before. 🐚🐌🏖️🐕🇺🇸
G'day Guadalupe 👋🏻💖 Oh wow, so you liked the Black Nerite!? They're a fairly common shells, but I don't show them too often because they aren't quite as fabulous as some of the other shell species that I can find. I do like them though, so I'll need to remind myself to pick up more of them 🐌❤️ Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie! Today I liked all the shells with crabs...the wentletrap, hairy triton, Chinese cowrie; so sorry for you they were occupied. I also especially liked both drupe shells and the prickly cardita shell. However, as always, I love all the shells you show us. My shelling trip in Florida is coming to an end and we will head back to land-locked Austria in a couple of days. I have an extra suitcase just for my shells! Thanks so much for showing us your great videos. Jan
G'day Jan 👋🏻❤️ Oh my goodness, there was a lot of shells with crabs! I think they're finding all of the best ones 😲 but that's ok, I'll probably have plenty of chances to find my own in the future 😉 I did grab up a few nice shells for myself though!! Those Drupes were quite nice; I should have given a special mention to the Prickly Spotted Drupe at the end. Have a very safe trip home, Jan!! Wow, a whole suitcase filled with shells 🤩 don't forget to declare them on your customs form, or they will be confiscated!!! Thanks for watching 🥰
I loved the Marriage Cone! The Clandestine Cowrie was super special though! Great adventure!❤
G'day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻☘️❤️ The marriage cone was a nice little find, I actually got one on the next trip too; they're popping up all of a sudden! The Clandestine was a nice little one 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Good day to you Maddie, love the cornetto cone!😋love the orange drupe! It was worth a try to transplant Mr 🦀
Pretty prickly spotted drupe.
Nice display Maddie❤xxx
G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 Hahaha yesss it was a lucky Cornetto Cone!! The Orange Drupe was really cool too; I've been seeing more of them lately, a long with an uptick in cone shells. Ahhh the crabbie really wanted to keep that amazing shell...I don't blame it, it's a nice shell 🐚 and the day was lovely enough without needing that one final treasure. Thanks for watching 🥰 and for you kind words ❤️
Cone heaven today, Maddie!!!!!
G'day Susan 👋🏻💖 I've been noticing a few more cone shells lately, so I guess it's time for cone season!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, Today shelling Orange Drupe and Smallest Bird Cartia is my favorites.
G'day Gomathi 👋🏻🏖️ The Orange Drupe was a really nice shape this time 🤩 ahh and the pink Cardita is perhaps your favourite too! Thanks for watching 🥰
Beautiful shells 🐚 😍
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 I managed to find some nice ones in these calm rock pools 😉 Thanks for watching 🥰
Morning Maddie, Great video. To bad you could not keep the Chinese Cowry. Hope all is well. Lots of rain here but warm. Take care and be careful out there. HAPPY SHELLING. XXOO. TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 It's okay, I actually do have a few Chinese Cowries in my collection, but this one was a super large one (at least twice as large as the two I have)! The crabbie really liked that Cowrie home; I went shelling yesterday and he was still walking around with it!! I wish I got the Hairy Triton from the crab 🦀 that was a nice shell! I hope you're staying cool, I keep hearing about how hot it is in the US right now! Will do my best to stay safe too; it's also raining here leading up to my weekend trip to Yeppoon. Thanks for watching 🥰
Nice shells Maddie, you made my day.
G'day Jeff 👋🏻🏖️ I was pleased with these finds on what was originally looking like a very slow day! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
You got very nice shells today. Love the videos❤
Have a great weekend Maddie
G'day Donna 👋🏻💖 I wasn't sure what id find; it was originally looking like a slow day... I'm glad it got a little more exciting! Thank you for watching, and I hope you had a great weekend too 🥰
Cool finds!
G'day Bonnie Julien 👋🏻🏖️ It was a fun day with a lot of variety 😄 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
You can hardley blame mr Crab for hanging onto that shell!
G'day Reet 👋🏻💖 True, true! This crab knew the better shell when he saw it! Thanks for watching 🥰
I like the muricate cone😊
G'day Yohann 👋🏻🐚 Oh yes, it's a really lovely cone 🤩 lots of a great on 'em! I sometimes see Instagram people in Hawaii with HEAPS of them!! I wish I found more like that 😲 Thanks for watching 🥰
Oh my goodness I so love the shell swap attempt! Darn crab lol just kidding…it wasn’t meant to be 🐚 lovely shells. That purple spotted cowrie was beautiful 😍 All your finds are just so amazing 😻 Have a great week!
G'day Roxann 👋🏻🦀 Yesss you have to try a hermit crab transfer sometime! If the want the shell, it can take between 3-30 minutes for them to change...of they don't want it, they move away from it pretty quick. It's fun though; I've had maybe half a dozen successful transfers to get a rarer shell from a crab! About as many failures, though 😅 the crabs know what they want! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks that's awesome though yes if I see the need shelling I so will. I think I better walk with a couple tulips in my shell bag as a norm LOL
My favorite is the crown cone. I was wondering how cold it gets. Thank you for a great video!
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 Oh wow, the Crowned Cone is the favourite this time 😲 they are lovely shells; so varied in their appearances! As for how cold it gets, I converted it to F for you; it was about 42 degrees on this trip. Since then, it's warmed up because we have rain/clouds, so we're in the 60s right now...it doesn't feel like winter! Thanks for watching 🥰
QLD here too, far north Queensland shells are especially nice. Love the video
G'day Micheal 👋🏻🐚 Wow, I'd love to find the shells up your way some day!! I'll be at Yeppoon next weekend, so maybe I'll find some shells like what you see...but maybe that's not quite north enough 😂 Watch out for crocs up there 😅 and thanks for watching 🥰
Hii Maddie,wowwee I really adore the pink bird Cardita!! I found one of these before, but I didn’t know the name so thank you for the new information!!😊I just woke up and I’m hoping to go swimming soon!! Maybe I’ll even find some seashells (30% Chance hopefully)😂🩷Oh yeah and spectacular video!🫶🫶have a great rest of your day!!🥰👋
G'day Selena 👋🏻💖 Ahh so you even find Bird Carditas where you live 😲 The English name is a translation of its scientific name, so I think I'm the only one that calls them a Bird Carditas 😉 Oh wow, I know I'm late again, but I hope you had a wonderful day of swimming. Did you find any shells 🐚? Even if you didn't, it sure sounds like a lovely day outside of the house 🏖️ Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks Hii Maddie🫶 yes it was a very rare occasion for me to find them😆but I’m really happy when I do!! Oh yeah I actually found some seashells!!🥰🥰 I think it is called the Blotched Nerite🐚:D and some operculums too!🌺🌺//Thanks for your sweet reply I’m gonna go buy some banana milk😆see ya!!🥰👋
Top shell at 11.53 is a clanculus top - Clanculus clangulus (Wood, 1828). quite rare that far north
Hey Adrian 👋🏻🏖️ Once again you are correct! Huh, so it's more of a NSW shell? Interesting that it's so far north...I knew I hadn't seen it before, but at the same time, I wasn't confident that it wasn't a giant of one of the usual mini top shells that I find. Thank you so much for clearing up another new shell ID 🙏🏻 and thanks for watching 🥰
Shell at 6.22 minute mark looks like Punctoterebra ballina (Hedley, 1915) endemic to SE QLD and northern NSW
G'day Adrian 👋🏻🐚 Ahhh that one looks like a much better match 😲 these small endemic shells always kick my butt when it comes it IDing them! Thank you so much for the correction; I couldn't find it anywhere in my references 🏖️❤️
🐚🐚😍
G'day Ahmet 👋🏻🏖️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Yuhuuuu.... Wht a good day Maddie,
My fav today is the big captain come❤
Idk why it looks so pretty and big
And also the hairy triton 🎉
Sorry mr.moon,my eyes caught another pretty shells today 😢
G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 It sure was a fun day with the variety of different shells to see! The Captain Cone was a really cool one; did you know that they can actually grow larger still? I usually only find the smaller, younger ones. The Common Hairy Triton was soo cool, I can understand why the crabbie 🦀 wanted to keep it so badly 😅 it really suited him! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks it can be larger????whoaaaa 😮
I found few captains, but much more smaller than u find today,
Seriously it can be larger???
I wish one day I can find it🤣
I really like chunky seashells
@@nellyjune9828 They can grow up to 10cm! I think this was was 7 or 8cm at most. I did find a full sized one once in a very old episode, that was a fun day!
@@SandCoffeeRocks I'm going to dive to your old videos then 🤣
I like doing it 😅
@@nellyjune9828 Ohhh not all the old ones are good though; I was still learning a lot about shells, video presentation, as well as a multitude of other things 😅 But if you want the specific episode with the big captain cone, you can see it here: czcams.com/video/qR-iuCt_J7Q/video.html
