- Wow!! Point Cartwright really treated me well on this overcast day! I guess the bad weather kept a lot of people at home on this Saturday morning; because I was the only one finding all the goodies in that big microshell shell pile. Lucky me!! I love those Carrier Shells, Wentletraps, and the Shuttle, but my favourite of all was that glossy Eglantina Cowrie.
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!

I didn't even realise that Point Cartwright and the surrounding beaches had such lovely seashells until I saw "Shellcade Shelling Down Under" - I admire him a lot; he's a wonderful local shell! You can check out his amazing shelling videos here:

Thank you Maddie. What beautiful shells today. The limpets, the crown shell, the sundial, the carrier shell and all the others are very beautiful. Thank you for a great day of shelling. I needed that after the week and weekend I have had. Have a great day Maddie and very thankful for the video.
G’day Toni 💖 Thank you for coming by to watch the adventure, I’m so pleased that you liked the shells as much as I did. I’m glad that they could take your mind off of life for a few minutes; from what I’m guessing, you’ve had a very hard week/end 😔 I’m so sorry, Toni. I was thinking about you all yesterday, I can only send my heartfelt well-wishes across the world to you ❤️❤️❤️
G'day Maddie! Awesome finds this time! It sure is worth the effort of checking out the shell piles and wrack lines 👍If I were there, I'd bring a small stool (I have bad knees)a snack or two and feel like a "kid in a candy store " ,digging through the bits and shells looking for marine treasures🐚 .Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us they give me my daily dose of "beachy goodness " 🤩🐚.
Take care Maddie and look forward to your next adventure 👍P.S. enjoyed the unboxing video, Wow! what a generous gift, nice lady!
G’day Lenora 👋🏻❤️ Hehe, I’m glad you enjoyed the shell finds as much as I did! It’s easier to check the wrack lines and shell piles than areas further out, but it sure it fun to wade through the water and slipper rocks to maybe find something bigger too! Yesss a stool would be a good idea (sorry to hear about your knees) I bet you’d feel like a kid again! I must say, you can easily lose time while microshelling; I must have spent over 2 hours looking at the piles, but it only felt like 30 minutes 🤣 Thank you for joining me for all the beach goodness 🥰 Oh yes!; thank you for watching the unboxing video 🤩 I was absolutely blown away by the generosity. I’m glad you enjoyed that one as well 💖
OH MY GOSH!!! What a wonderful shell day! Your first two finds…amazing! My favorites- the Cavanaugh cowrie and the rosy spindle cowrie. The ❤shells that made me squeal with delight…the carrier shells and Wentletraps! 🤩🥳 What an incredible hunt! Thank you for the fantastic video! Loved all the beautiful shells! 🥰🥰🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
G’day Pam 👋🏻❤️ I KNOW RIGHT? I got a tonne of good shells this time!! 🤩 Hehe Pam, is your favourite colour pink? I’m only half sure that it’s called a Cavanaughs Cowrie, it was a really tough one to identify! It’s lovely though, I’ve seen a few friends find them, but a first for me. I’m sure I will find more on the wrack lines now that I’ve trained my eyes for them 🤣 Hehe, I’m so glad that you enjoyed the wentletraps and carrier shells as much as I did, too! Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰🐚
Yes, my favorite color is pink! Loved all the shells!
Great shell day Maddie! Thank you for picking up some gorgeous scallop shells too❣️
G’day Mary 👋🏻 I love scallop shells, I’ll always pick them up if I see them! They’re a little bit uncommon at times, but then sometimes I’ll find a lot too! Thank you so much for joining the adventure today 🥰
Holly mini shell pile. Love the carrier shells and wentil traps. You had a awesome day of shelling.
G’day Kayle 👋🏻❤️ I know right?? That shell pile just kept giving and giving! The Wentletraps and Carrier shells are awesome picks as the favourites, they really stood out to me as well 🤩 I went back again this morning and it was still there with a few more goodies in the shell pile 🤗 but the rain finally hit and I had to run away 😅 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Fantastic finds Such variety! I liked the joined scallop. Thank you for sharing your finds.
G’day Dawn 👋🏻🤗 I’m so blessed to have a nearby beach with such a massive variety of different shells - it always keep me guessing on what I’ll find day-to-day. Oooh nice, that joined scallop was awesome 🤩 that’s a great pick for the favourite; it’s my largest joined one, too! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
The best micro shelling trip ever!
G’day Bearseyeview 👋🏻🤗 It really was a fantastic trip today, it was like uncovering buried treasures 💎🤩 Thank you so much for watching!
You have found a lot of the rosey spindles lately. What a beautiful shell. So hard to pick a favorite today Maddie.
You’re right, I’ve been so lucky with those rosy spindles 🌹 I think it’s because there are been lovely shell piles to look through; the shell piles of that size don’t come too often. Oh, I was reviewing my video footage of the next adventure… I missed another rosy spindle! How? I have no idea?! I made a “omg nooo” Maddie face for for the next video 🤣 I hope you’ll enjoy it too 🤗
I love the shell you found today!! Maddie you started out with a true fabulous shell and you ended with a fabulous shell. I love your videos. When I come to Australia I want to meet you at the Point Cartwright. ❤❤😊😊.
G’day Katherine 👋🏻🤗 I was just super lucky all day! I can’t believe that big beautiful cowrie was waiting for me at the start; it was worth waking up very early to get there before everyone else 🤣 I’m so glad that you enjoyed all the microshelling treasures as well 💖 Hehe, you’ll have to tell me if and when you come to Queensland, I’ll definitely want to meet you at Point Cartwright 🥰
Hi Maddie
What a good shelling session. Thanks for showing some Limpets.
I like Cowries and Limpets. And what a lovely box of shells from your kind lady in the States. I enjoy your shelling videos but this is the first posting
G’day Aussie Dirt Digger 👋🏻 Your username intrigues me; do you… dig for treasures too? But ah, my digging is a bit easy-going 😅 Welcome to the channel, or should I say, the comments section. I’m usually a lurker too, I like to sit and watch… in a non-creepy way 🤣🤣🤣 Lurkers unite! Oh yes, I ended up showing a nice variety of limpets today, I’m glad you enjoyed them 🤗 I sometimes film limpets, but then cut them out of the final video edit for one reason or another, but I should leave more in because I know a lot of people like them! I do put my “deleted scenes” on Facebook though, if you’re interested. Oh my goodness, thank you for watching the unboxing video! It was a long one, but full of surprises; Trudy’s generosity was absolutely mind blowing 🤩 and of course, thank you for watching this adventure as well 🥰
So much to see! Such fun to watch, but it would be much more fun to be there!
G’day Reet 👋🏻 Hehe, did you spot anything interesting in the shell piles that I messed? Yes, it’s so much fun to be be there… it’s especially fun when you have someone to share the discoveries with, it just makes you want to search for more shells! Thank you so much for watching 💖
Hi Maddie! I'm a cone and cowrie fan... What epic shell piles.. ❤
G'day Mimi 👋🏻 Ahh in right there with you!! Funny though, I think I only saw/found three cones shells for that entire day 🤔 I wonder where they're hiding!! Thanks for watching the adventure today 🥰
Maddie a great video. Lovevthe shell pile. You found some awesome shells
I was not done favorite was strobes. Carrier shells, purple lace coral. I had a big hermit crab from OBX, NC in a magpie shell. I named him Petey. I had him for years. My carrier shell is really big with lots of seashells attached to it. You did real good today. Some new shells too. Thank you Maddie. XXOO. TRUDY
Thank you Trudy 👋🏻❤️ The shell pile was sooo much fun today!! It was so hard to pick a favourite; so many of them jumped out at me! The Strombus, Carrier shells, and Lace coral are all amazing picks for the favourites 💎 they are all just a big different than the others. Oh wow, Petey sounds like an amazing crab, I’ve heard they are really tricky to keep as pets 🦀 I bet your carrier shell is lovely, I’ve been considering buying a really big one but I also want to maybe find my own one day??? A girl can dream 🤣 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks So sorry Maddie. Computer bad. I did like the Strombus. Your video on the shell pile zi really loved. So many tinies and lovelies to find. Thank you for another wonderful video. Stay safe. XXOO. TRUDY
Wow! Spectacular
G’day Luz 👋🏻 Hehe, thank you for coming by to see the lovely shells today 🐚❤️
Beautiful finds!!
G'day Alyssa 👋🏻🎉 Indeed, I couldn't believe my luck today! Thank you for coming along with me 🥰
Beautiful video. 😍
G’day Nikoleta 👋🏻 Thank you so much for coming by to see all of the beautiful shells today 🥰
Love your videos Maddie ❣️❣️❣️
G’day Joann 👋🏻🐚 Thank you for stopping by to watch the adventures 🥰 I’m pleased to be able to make something interesting and entertaining 🤩
Awesome video
G’day Edith 👋🏻🐚 Thank you so much for checking out the new adventure 🥰
Iya, very amazing...l want going to .. God bless you my friend
G’day Kreasi 👋🏻🐚 Do you live near the beach? I hope you can go shelling too! Thank you Kreasi, and thanks again for watching my adventures 🥰
Angel wing at 10.44 minute mark is a species called Barnea obturamentum which has what looks like a cut off corner compared to the evenly rounded corner of the normal angel wing
G’day Adrian 👋🏻 Oh interesting, I thought this Angel wing was one that grew a little funny or got broken somehow. Cool, this one wasn’t on the site I usually check my shell finds with! Thanks for watching ❤️
I'm not sure if I have the correct name but I loved the carrier shells. They look like modern art. I have never seen these shells, how big do they get? 🥰🐕🇺🇸
G’day Guadalupe 👋🏻🐚 Yes, you got the name right 😉 the carrier shells really do look spectacular- it’s amazing how they disguise themselves with other shells. My carrier shells were 1-1.5 centimetres, but fully grown ones are ten times the size!! I’m not sure if they get bigger, but adult ones can definitely get to 10-11cm. This type of carrier shell is a Pallid Carrier Shell (Xenophora pallidula) if you want to check them out online 🤔 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Maddie it's me Natacha 😂 bday girl on that day we bump into you! Me and my daughter love your videos! It was so nice to finally meet you and you got some good finds 🐚 we got some good ones aswell 🤭 but really wanted to find the wentletrap? Didn't get to see any on my bday trip but I did go to Alex heads n micro shell there on Sunday and got some goodies there even my sister found some rare ones ☺️
Hey Natacha 👋🏻🤩 Happy Birthday to you again, it was so lovely to finally meet you in person on the weekend 🥳 I also loved meeting your sister and little girl ❤️ Aw snap, I should have given you a birthday wentletrap after all 😅 but don’t worry; they are a rare prize for sure, but they wash up often enough with the shell piles… your keen eyes just need to pick them out 👀 I’m still really glad that you got some amazing finds for yourself (I loved that Paper Fig you found!). Alex Heads micro shells huh, I wonder if they’re still there? I’m on the look out for a Kieneri Cowrie, and I’ve heard that I’ll have better luck finding on there than at Pt C. I might have to visit there later this week to see if the pile hasn’t washed away 🤗 Thank you, as always, for watching (and living) the adventures with me 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks awww that's ok it was a pretty good find I'm sure I wouldn't give to anyone even it's their bday hahaha 😂 I will find one day!
But yes definitely go to Alex head I went to try my luck and was happy I did. 🥰 Wish I lived closer would be going everyday 🐚
Ahhh yeah, I was pretty pleased with it 😅 Thank you for understanding 🤣 I was thinking of going to Alex Heads / Mooloolaba tomorrow actually; PtC was pretty well picked over today. Would you saw the shell pile is more on the Alex side, or the Mooloolaba side?
Holy cow, what a great day for collecting! I am curious, how long does it take for you to set up all your finds for the final display? It’s too hard to pick a fave…they’re all amazing!
G’day Maggie 👋🏻 I had an amazing day for sure! I tried to follow up this amazing day with another one yesterday but ahhh the rain hit me hard, so it looks like I used up most of my luck 🤣 Good question! I think it usually takes about 25-35 minutes in total for the final display, that includes; finding/walking to a spot, arranging shells, photos, filming the panning/moving shots, and filming my final spoken outro. Sometimes I might film the final goodbye twice just to compare which one best has my thoughts in order… unless I drop things and mess up the display, cuz then it’s definitely one and done; I don’t want to set up the precarious display a second time if I don’t have to 🤣! So, to discount all the other things I do, the display itself takes about 15-20 minutes, probably, depending on how many shells and finicky they are. Thank you so much for watching today 🥰
Ovulid at 9 minute mark could possibly be Diminovula punctata
Possibly! It looks like it’s the correct species based off of images on Google. I mean, the one I put as the name also looked correct based off of Google too 🤣 I think I like you name for it though, it’s easier to just call it a Spotted Diminovula next time!
I was the 960th sub ! 🥳
G'day Leo the Cat 👋🏻😺🐈 Thank you 🥳❤️🥳 for being the 960th sub! I woke up this morning and saw that number, thank you for joining me on this journey 🥰 I hope these shell finds give you the same thrill of discovery as they do for me 🐚 Thank you so much for watching and being a part of the adventures 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks ofc and thank you ! 💕
First cowrie looks like Mauritia arabica rather than an Eglantina. The thickened margins are characteristic of Arabicas. Eglantinas usually have rounded margins
Oh ok, I thought the Arabian’s margins usually extended out more; like they were more bulbous. Anyway, it’s still a lovely shell that I have for myself 🤩
@@SandCoffeeRocks They can be hard to tell apart sometimes, especially sub-adult ones and it is impossible to tell juvenile ones apart
Oooh that’s interesting 🤨 I LOVE sub adult shells in particular, and I’ve only ever found one sub adult Arabian. I’d love to find more, but it’s crazy to think that the juveniles are indistinguishable from Eglantinas… I wonder how many of my juvenile “Arabians” are in fact Eglantinas? I might share this fun little factoid with the views next time I come across one 🤣😄
