Keppel Bay Shell Show in Yeppoon & Unboxing the Seashell Purchases

- Well, more like an "unbagging" the shells! It was my absolute pleasure to travel to Yeppoon on the Capricorn Coast for the first time ever. The scenery was lovely, especially around the coastal highway, but seeing the Keppel Bay Shell Club's Annual Shell Show, and seeing Shell World in Yeppoon, is what brought the biggest smile to my face.
I really enjoy this Russian shell collector: / @mikhail-tikhonov

I had an absolutely fantastic weekend away; it was jam-packed with a lot of driving (Yeppoon is 14 hour round trip), but I got to spend the time with amazing people and see a huge range of rare and incredible seashells. These are memories that I will hold dear for many years to come.
This was my first time camping (in a caravan park, but still...) so I am forever thankful to Mr Sheller and his wife for letting me share a site with them. They are absolutely lovely people to spend time with, and helped me a lot with understanding this type of accommodation. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching something different today, and of course, let me know if you have a favourite too? Honestly, I'd be surprised if you could pick just one!!

...Yes, I spelled "Keppel" incorrectly in the opening title...it was too late to change it. Just add it onto all of the word I mispronounced in this episode as well XD - Zábava
Thank you so much for watching ❤ and for everyone who’s given me lovely comments over the last week; I will get to them soon! This big weekend just gone, and the quick unboxing edit, has taken up much of my free time (but in a good way). It should be business as usually soon enough 🐚
Yay she’ll show! Thanks for taking us along!❤
G'day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻☘️❤️ It's not everyday that I get to see a shell show...it was so much fun!!! Thanks for watching this very big episode 🥰
Good morning, Maddie
Wow, all the shells are so amazing. Thank you for taking time to share the shell show and all the shells you purchased. Have a wonderful day.
G'day Toni 👋🏻💖 It was a fabulous weekend up the coast, and it was nice to camp (well, at the caravan park) with some friends 😁 these are memories that I will hold dear for a long time! It was my pleasure to share a few of the displays at the show, and record what I got from there (it will be nice for me to look back on this in the future too). I hope you're doing well today ❤️ and thank you so, so much for watching the big unboxing today 🥰
Wow Maddie wow! That is a great haul. It is amazing how shells from the same species can be so varied. If you collect anything you can never have to many. Really great video and thank you for the adventure😊
G'day Jan 👋🏼❤ I really decided to spoil myself on this trip! I'm just glad that I bought that melanistic Eglantine Cowrie before it was gone (I was eyeing is off greedily while doing my other shopping and seeing the shell displays) I'm so glad that it was still there because not getting it would have been a true regret of mine. I digress. There was a lot of interesting and varied shells to see, even with the same species of some of them! Those Zebra Volutes are a prime example! I need to stop or I will start rambling again. Thank you so, so much for watching, and for waiting for my slow reply this week after the big weekend ❤
Holy guacamole! 🥑🥑🥑 What a wonderful trip! I never realized there were so many different species of murex shells. 😮 That apple murex was huge. I’ve never seen one that big. It was wonderful to see Ninja! 🐈🐈🐈 I can’t believe she didn’t want to help you. 😂😂😂 I think I was most intrigued with the land snails. I never realized they could be so colorful. 🐌🐌🐌 Great video and so happy Mr. Sheller looks after you. Love pats to Ninja! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 I think this Yeppoon weekend is forever my favourite two days of this entire year 🤩 Ohhh yes, there are heaps of different murex species, that's for sure!! The Apple Murex...I looked it up and the Internet says they can get almost twice as big as the one I got from the shell show!!? I don't know if I believe it! I'm glad that you liked the seriously cool land snails as well. I think you can get some Apple Snails over in the USA that look pretty amazing, but be careful of dangerous wildlife if you do go looking! SWF Beach Life actually made a recently episode about hunting for their shells 😲 I was quite impressed! Oh my gosh Pam, Mr Sheller and his wife were absolutely wonderful all weekend; I wouldn't have had such a good time without them. I really owe 'em one! Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing 🥰 and yesss, Ninja gets all the pats (when she wants them). It was a cold rainy day when I unboxed the shells, so I couldn't really get to do anything other than huddle up on the chair. I should bring on of her pet beds downstairs, but I know she'll never use it 😅😺 cats!!!
Good afternoon Maddie, you can never have to many shells 😂. I'm a big fan of the land snail shells. it never ceases to amaze me what nature creates. You have beautiful shells Maddie. Sure do appreciate you sharing them all with us. Did you get a chance to shell at the beach near where you bought all your shells? I haven't written you in awhile, so wanted to say hi and again Thank you for all the work and effort you put out in order to share with all of us. Have a great week Maddie, see you next time 😁
G'day Roberta 👋🏻🏖️ Hahaha, I think that I can have too many shells...but I haven't reached that point yet!! I'm glad that you also liked the land snail shells; they're really impressive with their shapes, colours and patterns sometimes! They aren't often as interesting or as varied as sea shells, but they really do have their own kind of beauty. As for your question; it's a YES! I did get to look at two beaches at Yeppoon, though I didn't spend a lot of time at each, maybe 2 or 2.5 hours per beach (most of my shelling videos are 3-4 hours per beach visit, not including time to set up a shell display or travel to/from) but I still found plenty of beauties at the places I decided to stop at, so those will be the next two videos coming up... actually, each beach had very different shells from each other, so it's a nice pair of videos, I think. Oh goodness Roberta, thank you do much for your lovely words, though I think I make these videos as much for me as anyone else! I can somehow imagine myself watching them when I am old and grey and reliving the good ol' days!! Thanks for watching the very very very long video today 🥰
Congratulations, Maddie. Wonderful shells 🐚 ❤️
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 It was a lovely weekend, and a lot of fun to look through the shells for sale 😀 Thank you so much for watching the big episode today 🥰
Love the shells Maddie and you are amazing how you are able to pronounce them so quickly! I would have to enunciate every syllable! 😄 🐚 ❤
G'day Sherrie 👋🏻💖 Haha, I don't know about that, I'm pretty sure that I stumbled on every syllable!! I'm pretty sure that I added extra syllables of vowel sounds that weren't meant to be there 😂 but at least I sounded somewhat confident? Ahhh, thank you so much for watching such a big unboxing today 🥰
Great shells Maddie!
Thanks for sharing your haul. The mirex shells are amazing but they all are in their own way!
G'day Donna 👋🏻💖 It was a big haul...I couldn't quite keep the video under an hour 😅 so thank you so much for watching the big unboxing today 🥰 Oh yes, those murex shells are just stunning 😍
I love the Deer Cowries! So pretty. I can’t believe the size of some of them!
G'day again ☘️☘️☘️ Ohhh my goodness, those Atlantic Deer Cowries are amazing 🤩 they are the world's largest cowrie species (not counting some giant fossilised species). North America is lucky to have these amazing shells wash ashore!! Thanks again for watching 🥰
Hello Maddie, WELCOME HOME FROM YOUR CAMPING SEASHELL TRIP. I never went to a seashell show. Awesome. Did you find a Eloise shell? Next year mine is yours. You bought a lot of shells, wow. I liked the Zamboi Solomon shell, the QLD volute, Tanzania Cowrie, Israel Cowrie, and more. Hard to choose. Thank you. Much 💘 TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 Thank you so much, it's nice to be back! I actually wish that I'd spent more time at the beaches around Yeppoon, but I suppose the late afternoon tides wouldn't have been as good as midday or morning ones. No Eloise shells at the show (one might pop up at a National Show though) and gosh Trudy, I say this all the time but you should keep the shells that bring you the most happiness. Oh yes, I ended up buying too many shells, or maybe just the right amount 😂 I was really pleased with the melanistic ones. Ohh yes, the Zamboi murex was lovely 😍 the Israel (Thrush Cowrie) was really awesome, and the Tanzania cowrie uhhh I don't know the English name of it either 🤣 I'm not sure which Volute was your favorite, I think 4 of them were Queensland Volutes 😲 but yess, too many lovely shells to choose from. Thank you so, so much for watching this big unboxing today 🥰
Hi Maddie, wow so many lovely shells. Very exciting to see what you bought. I’ve said it before but nature is amazing! When you see the shapes, colours and variety of all those shells and all beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤xxxx
G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 It was a wonderful variety of the different works of nature 🐌❤️ Though it was mostly cowries, volutes, and murexes this time, I'm really pleased that I got some stunning land snails as well. Thank you so, so much for watching the extra long unboxing this time 🥰
Hii Maddie,🩷👋
Aaaa,this was such an exciting video I never knew they had shell museums/display in Australia!🇦🇺:D I love that all the shells are so unique 🌺 and how u recorded the shells so steadily😎💪 Overall my favourite shell is the jet black cowrie🌟🤭Alrighty have a great rest of your day and take care!byeee!!🥰👋Always a delight watching your vids🤩
G'day Selena 👋🏻💖 Ohhh I'm so glad that you enjoyed this biiiiiig video!! Oh yes, I think (or hope) that many countries have shell museum. Maybe there is one in Hong Kong? Or perhaps, there is a part of your natural history museum with some shells in it?? Heheh, you have a good eye for the cowries; that melanistic (jet black) one is a stunning shell! Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
Absolutely gorgeous shells
G'day Tammy 👋🏻🐚 It was a fantastic weekend away, and my goodness, the shells were amazing as well. Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
Looks like a fab weekend up at Yeppoon!
Hey Danielle 👋🏻🐚 It was a great weekend for a road trip 😃 I really fel the eye fatigue from driving much farther than I'm used to though; I don't know how truck drivers do it as a job?? Anyhoo, Yeppoon was an incredible amount of fun. If you've never been there, I absolutely recommend going someday; especially if it coincides with a shell show or two! Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing 🥰
Love the big blue land snail
G’day Amanda 👋🏻🐚 It was really cool, I didn’t actually think that land snails could be blue like this 🤩 Thank you very much for watching 🥰
Hi maddie❤thanks for this great video🥰🥰 Every shell is wonderfull but cowries are the best.Ilove them❤❤byeeee
G'day Hurriyet 👋🏻🏖️ Ohhhh yes, the cowries really stole the show in my eyes too 🤩 Thank you so much for watching such a long unboxing today 🥰🥰🥰
Yuhuuuuu Maddie....
Those are lovelyyyy
Lucky u have tht kind of place to visit😮
So hard pick the most favorite 😢
But the cowries look so diff than all common cowries I've ever seen before,so I'll go with the Cowrie gang 🎉
Thanks for sharing your trip Maddie
G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 It's sooo far away to drive to, but yes; it's really nice to be able to visit this place! The cowrie gang is a solid pick for the favourites 😍 they're always my favourite too! Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing 🥰
I love watching your channel my mother has visited Australia when I was a kid and she brought back a lot of stuff from there for me and my brothers I have always wanted to do what you are doing and I found a book about land snails that I think you would like
G'day Racheal 👋🏻🏖️ Oh wow, I hope you mother got some lovely souvenirs from here - maybe even some shells as well! A land snail book, I'd love to know the title of it if you know it 😲 someone at the shells show was telling me about a good book...and now I've forgotten the name of it 😂 oops!! Thank you so much for watching the big episode today 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks it's called Compendium of Landshells by R. Tucker Abbott Ph. D.
@@rachaelkinsey8852 Oh wow, that does look like a thorough guide! Thank you for letting me know about it 🙏🏻 I think this helped me to find the land shell book that a man at the shell show mention to me: Australian Land Snails Volume 1 is apparently for the east coast of Australia where I live 🤩 I guess if I ever decide to take bush shelling seriously, then one of these land snail books would be a great guide!
Hi Maddie. You got so many cool shells! What other sheller channels you watch?
G'day Natalia 👋🏻🏖️ I had an absolute blast at the shell show, that's for sure!! As for your question, I don't actually watch too many other shellers; mostly because I spend so much time watching and reviewing my own shell finds that I usually want to spend my spare time watching my other interests. But that wasn't your question was it :P I watch Mikhail over here: www.youtube.com/@mikhail-tikhonov (he isn't a sheller, but a shell collector who makes short informational videos about shells species), I watch Sharmon on SWF Beach Life, but maybe only one video every now and then, and finally, I watch Roxann on Florida Beach Walks www.youtube.com/@FloridaBeachWalks a lovely lady! I used to love watching The Shell Nuts... I don't know what happened, but they don't post anymore, they removed comments, and removed some videos too... there must be a story there, but I won't pry. I also, of course, used to watch Shellcade Shelling Down Under. I am grateful that his videos introduced me to shelling, but I stopped watching him a while before he stopped posting and started to post repeats. He's a bit of a character, is all I'll say! I hope that answered your question ;) Thanks for watching this big unboxing today!!
Love seeing the shell show and your shell haul. You shop like I do. Ha! My favorite has to be the Ventral Cowrie. Because I’m a cowrie girl. But so many other favorites that it’s hard to pick the runner ups. I like all the Murex. And those Homalocantha Zamboni or was it Scorpio? Love them! But honestly there is not a bad shell in the bunch. Love your videos and your excitement at finding sea treasure. Thank you for sharing shells with us. It makes my day.
G'day Conscz 👋🏻💖 I'm so glad that you enjoyed seeing this massive videos with the shell show and the, uhhhhm, unbagging! The Ventral Cowrie is so eye-catching, my goodness, I think you picked one of the best shells as the favourite! Ohhhh you are actually quite good with your murexes, aren't you? This is indeed the Zambo's Murex, but there is a very closely related species called Homalocantha scorpio; those ones have dark brown/black colour on their spines, and have a very similar appearance otherwise. I did see some Scorpio Murexes to buy, but I didn't see one that I loved, so I passed it up this time. I passed up a lot of species that I don't have... I will maybe get one next time I go to a shell show?? Heaps of lovely shells there, I do think that I went a little overboard on spoiling myself though 😂 Thank you so much for watching; Your message has been one of the ones that's taken me the longest to get to after returning from Yeppoon, making many long videos with new shells to research, and just trying to catch my break after a weekend away! I feel both lazy and busy, somehow??? Thank you so much for waiting for a reply, and thanks for watching 🥰
I want those land snails so bad
G'day Charlie 👋🏻🐚 Land snails are surprisingly cute, aren't they!! Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing today 🥰
I'm so jealous Maddie.
G'day Brenda 👋🏻💖 You'll have to keep an ear to the ground for a shell show near you too 😉 Thank you so much for watching the massive unboxing today 🥰
Great episode, Maddie😊👍! Congratulations on adding to your collection😊🤗! For now I’ll tell you about cowries and then about some, since there are many of them😁. Excellent and rare specimens are melanist from New Caledonia👍🔥, African cypraeovulas, misty cowrie-callistocypraea nivoza (was on the list of the 50 rarest shells in the world from the book “Rare Shells” by S. Peter Dance) and of course I am very glad that you have added cypraea reevei to the collection😉👍, it is really considered rare, I remember once at an online auction as a gem it was sold for almost 1500 $ or euro, so you didn’t buy it in vain👍. Lyncina sulcidentata is so good 🤗and of course the kauri deer cowry is always very pleasing🤗, they are the largest cowry in the world, they can grow up to 19cm in length, by the way, I also bought my deer cheap😊
And I can talk all day about what you bought Maddie, there’s so much and all the shells are so interesting😊🤗🤗🤗
And the Shellshow is good, the very presence of shells of such a level as 3:17
Barycypraea fultoni, Callistocypraea broderipii, Callistocypraea leucodon, rare Zoila's, C. valentia, several luria tesselata, such rare volutes as volutoconus bednalli indicates that the organizers of the shellshow tried👍
G'day Mikhail 👋🏻💖 I am finally replying to you; you wrote me such a lovely comment, and I wanted to make sure I had the time to reply properly. I feel like I've been both lazy and busy since returning from the weekend trip away; it's hard to find my balance again after time away from home. Onto the cowrie shells:
Thank you SO, SO MUCH for sharing your cowrie knowledge with me!!! I had several shells that I knew to look for this time because of your videos! The melanistic Mauritia eglantina was a big surprise; it was the only one I saw for sale. A reputable shell collector told me that most of the melanistic shells in New Caledonia have been over harvested in recent years; there aren't many new ones to find these days.
Yesss the cypraeovulas I knew because of you! I love them so much. Callistocypraea nivoza is one that I had been looking for for a while, but much more expensive on eBay to buy. Cypraea reevei was a nice one, but I can't believe one sold for so much money??!! Actually, my friend (Mr Sheller) showed me his Reevei: it's a super glossy gem; I am a little jealous 😂! I'm still not sure if my Lyncina sulcidentata is a nice one, but I really like it how it is.
Oh Mikhail!!! I need to catch up on your videos, but the new shell that you were talking about, was it the Barycypraea fultoni?? The one with the cross on the back?? I didn't mention it in the video this time, but they are super rare and expensive 😮 did you actually get one? Either way, I think your collection will always been a step above mine 😁 your shells are amazing!
I wish I could have shown you more pictures from the shell show and shell world museum, but they are on Facebook. One day, you will be able to see them. Anyway! Thank you again for sharing so much of your time and knowledge with me ❤ and thank you for watching this very long, very big video 🥰🥰🥰 and for waiting so long for my reply!!
@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 Oh Maddie😊, I can finally answer calmly, I was on vacation and filmed videos in fits and starts when I was at home😂. And so I was in Crimea, in the Krasnodar region of Russia on different coasts of the Black Sea, but I didn’t collect shells and didn’t shoot videos, I just swam, sunbathed and relaxed😁
About the shell with the Maltese cross - Barycypraea fultoni - yes, I really bought it🙂This is a specimen of Barycypraea fultoni fultoni (miniatra), it is of poor quality, as can be seen from the stomach of the fish, and therefore I bought this specimen inexpensively in relation to the prices of fultoni. They offered me some nice Barycypraea fultoni massieri, but I refused, now I can’t afford to shell out a thousand or two thousand $/€ 💰💰💰for a shell😂. There, at the Shellshow in your video, there were also beautiful Barycypraea fultoni massieri.
And your very successful purchase is the melanistic eglantine🤩👏; in general, any melanistic cowries are iconic shells 💎in a collector’s shellcollection. So once again I congratulate you Maddie👏👏👏👍!
Then during the week I’ll watch your new videos, I see cowrie freaks on the cover of the new video, it’s interesting😊
Oh Maddie! WOW what a nice trip for you. Wayne and his wife are just good people! Great friends to have. You know me and murex shells, just wonderful. I am glad you had fun. I can't pick a favorite. They are all just marvelous. The blue/violet land snail is gorgeous. Take care till the next time and stay safe. I do believe you should stay out of the bush especially by yourself. Love ya girl. What a great way to start my morning.
G'day Anita 👋🏻💖 Oh gosh, Wayne (whoops, I slipped his name into the video) and his wife are just the most lovely people...I mean, Wayne is a bit if a cheeky bugger, but he's got a big heart of gold. They really made this weekend special for me; great company and great people. But onto the shells!! Its so hard to just pick a single favourite, isn't it?! It's crazy how much variety there is, even within the same shell familiar. That blue/violet land snails really took my breath away; I think I grabbed it up REAL QUICK when I saw it in the land snail section to buy 😂 And I totally agree; lots of people like hiking and bush walking, but I think I'd rather not go at it alone! Thank you so much for watching the extra long unboxing this time 🥰
Hello Maddie, thx for taking us to the shell show! The 14:14 shell was so pretty! Never seen such a shell 😍 If live harvested -hopefully they used it for food then selling of the shell. You are not a bad person for buying shells. You are being honest on your end and you can’t control the other end. Some of my other favorites are 21:21, 44:44, 52:20, 55:36, 1:02:03 and I did enjoy all the cowries & olive types 😍 The thrush shells were nice-happy to have a different type to look out for in Fl now (not considered invasive yet because they don’t know the environmental impact).
Beautiful shells, have a great rest of your week! Thx for the shell guys link-will check him out 👍🏼 BTW what camera/phone do you use if you don’t mind me asking? Love the focus clarity. I use an iPhone 15 pro max and the camera focus w/all 3 cameras drives me nuts!!! I loved my iPhone 7plus lol it had NO issues focusing at all b/c it had a single lens! Just was wondering. Thx 👍🏼
G'day Roxann! Oh wow, you have a ton of favourites from the shell show!! I'm glad that I could show you a new one this time, the Babelomurex is a really cool and unusual genus of shells! Oh goodness, thank you for your kind words... I think the worldwide shell collecting community aren't quite as polite to snails as beachcombers like us. Onto the shells; ahh you also liked the locally collected Vase shell, some of the land snails (wow, do you collect any??), the melanistic cowrie, the South African cowrie, and the harlequin cowrie! You have a good eye for the cowries!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week too. As for your question; I didn't break the bank, so I film with an iPhone 8 as my "filming device." I have an off-brand phone as my everyday phone (the camera and focus on it is soooooo ridiculously bad), but it was starting to play up. I bought a second hand iPhone 12 Pro Max to use as both a filming phone and everyday phone, but like you, I had the same issues with it. It has a further away focusing distance than my much older iPhone (how even???) and when you're close up to something, it jumps between lenses... absolutely stupid. The microphone always used the rear one instead of the forward facing one too (a setting that can't be changed), so it can't even pick up my voice while filming. It's absolute rubbish for what I want to do. So, with no problems with my iPhone 8, it remains as my filming device. My 12 pro max is a fine every day phone, I suppose; it takes nice pictures and videos when not focusing on things close to the camera, and it does apps and internet stuff really quick. It also has nice camera stabilization and generally good focusing too, but again, not for the really close stuff.
If and when I need a new filming phone/camera, I will probably go with a Samsung A somethingorrather.... my dad got one of those a few months ago, and, even with three lenses, it doesn't jump around. It seems to have a fairly close focus distance (which I need for the little shells) and it records with the front facing microphone. I might borrow his at some stage to test it out before buying one, because I might find a fault with it while shelling? But, again, my iPhone 8 is what I've been using for the last year or so, and it's still working great. Heck, even the iPhone 6 that I started with was almost as good as the 8... it just got caught in the rain...le sad, it's not water resistant at all.
I've chatted your ear off for too long. Thank you so, so much for watching such a big unboxing today!!
@@SandCoffeeRocks Thx so much for the detailed reply! I used an iPhone 7 Plus for a lot of my footage and we do have an iPhone 8 Plus in the house so yeah still playing around with what to do. I can't stand the jump focusing these latest phones do--over a thousand dollars and it does that is SO irritating. Anyways, yesterday I used my husbands DJI Oslo Mobile 6 "gimble" and used the DJI recording app over my phone camera program and it was actually SO MUCH better in focusing!! I still need to do more playing with it and get comfortable using it--so that might be my "hack" with these latest iPhones. If the DJI program recording app does better than apple default then it's a program issue not hardware you know; but if the focus still gets on my nerves I'll just start using the 8plus we have; the one camera does SUCH A GOOD JOB. Mercy! We have a goPro also that I almost never use - those are only for wide shots and DO NOT focus up close. I see a few shelling videos using that for close ups and it's all blurry 😭 anyways, my rant over LOL back to shells....I have collected some Caribbean vase shells (Vacuum muricatum) over here on the east coast - I LOVE cleaning them, such a transformation. They are I'd say a rare shell to find. Ok know I've gone on too long lol, take care and I can't wait to see your next shelling adventure!
I'm glad that my little details can help! It's also quite interesting for me to hear about your gimble; I had considered getting one of those for my own shelling adventures! I do like the idea of have a steady video, but I worry about dropping it (or the phone from it) in the challenging rock pools, or needing a waterproof one (100% need a waterproof one), as well as keeping it charged, the cost of them, etc. My hand isn't super steady, but I think it's good enough for now. Interesting to hear about the DJI recording app too. I do want a new camera app that lets me choose which microphone (front or back) that my camera records from; do you know if the DJI recording app lets you do that? I should research that, but yes, that might be the perfect hack... though it might not be able to help with the far away focus distance one those Pro Max iPhone (I don't know if the base models have this same far away focus that the triple camera iPhones do?). Yes, GoPro is really no good; I researched into getting one very early into my shelling video career - once I learned that the minimum focus distance was 50cm (20 inches) I was like NOPE!! Thanks for letting me ramble back to you ;D and whoa, a vase shell!! That's a super sweet find, congratulations! Can't wait to see the video. Take care on your next adventure too~
@@SandCoffeeRocks hey! Not sure if you can select microphones in the app 🧐 I have to play around with it more myself. I thought I wouldn’t be comfortable with it at first, but it’s really easy to get used to 👍🏼 I highly recommend it! The clip I put on my phone to mount it is pretty strong it’s not going anywhere but then that mounts to a very strong magnet on the gimbal. My daughter has a 15 pro that only has two cameras on the back and it doesn’t struggle half as much for focus. Ohhhh all these technical things!! I will not have a video out this weekend-WAY to much going on this past week. I’m the Vacation Bible School director at my church and that was all last week. Late nights and tons to do I had no time even for my day job taking care of that all week. So tired…I have so many videos to watch to catch up on and destress from this past week! Take care and I can’t wait to catch up on the past couple videos you put out 😍❤️🌊
@@FloridaBeachWalks I saw your post about the Vacation Bible School directorship; looks like fun, but I'm sure there is a lot of stress and management that goes with it. Take the time to rest when you can 🙏🏻 and thank you for the technical info too!
جایی که زندگی میکنم خیلی از دریا دوره، لذت میبرم وقتی ویدیوهاتو میبینم❤
Hello Sarina 👋🏻🐚 Oh wow, that's wonderful to hear 🏖️ I'm glad that I can show you a part of the beaches and the shells around here 😀 Thank you so, so much for watching the big video today 🥰
❤❤❤❤@@SandCoffeeRocks
do the dates mean when they were collected?
G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ So for the dates; the ones that I mentioned /specifically/ as being "55 years old, etc" where the collection dates of those individual shells. For the other dates on the papers that had a surname followed by a year, this signifies the person who first discovered/described/published the species in academic journals, and which year that was. For instance, the Tweed Murex said "Macpherson, 1962" - so this species was first described and shared for academic review by a man/woman surnamed Macphearson in 1962. This specific shell in my hands was not collected in this year (it didnt have the collection date in it), this is just the when the general species itself first entered the world stage, so to speak. Some of the other shells have dates from the 1700s and 1800s (such as Gmelin, 1791 on that California murex shell)... The British and Europeans really lead the way with recording the natural world; oh to be a pioneer in those days, they faithfully collected and recording so much that is in the history books today. Anyway, I hope that clears up the meaning of those papers?? I should have mentioned it during the video. If it doesn't, let me know...i might not have explained it very well. Thank you so much for watching the big video today 🥰
Omg im sorry for not commenting for sooooo long cause now im just got in 5th grade in elementry shcool
Sorry i mean 4th grade

It's a little more work than last year, but I'm sure you will learn lots of new and interesting things 😁 I hope you make some new friends and have a fun time! Thanks for watching my big video today 🥰 Study well, and don't worry about commenting when you're busy with school work ❤️ Thanks Ari ☺️
@@ariindraswari792 4th grade is more work than 3rd grade, so I know you will still work hard and learn plenty of new things 👍🏻 Have fun 🤩
