- What a beautiful sunny day!! Wow, there wasn't a lot of shells to find in the rock pools, but the few that I found were fantastic!! I can't believe that I was able to get the crab out of the lovely Military Turban shell, it's stunning. My favourites are definitely the nearly black Limacina, as well as the shiny Grape Cowrie with amazing stippling!! 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:

Wow! That crab transfer was cool! 🦀🦀🦀 You know I loved the operculum and finding that military turban, and managing a swap was awesome. I have two favorites today. ❤❤❤ The biconic rock whelk and of course the gyre triton! ⭐️ Beautiful cowries today! Thank you Maddie for the wonderful adventure! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 The hermit crab transfer was incredibly fun to watch, and it was actually a quick one too; less than 10 minutes for it to make the move! He he hee, I knew you'd like the Operculum, but I'm really happy that I could finally show you the shell species that it comes from! The other shells stood out on their own too; that Biconic Rock Whelk is a really nice rare-ish one, and the Gyre Triton was a lovely large specimen! I personally ended up liking the cowries the most though 🤣 As always, thank you so much for watching 🥰
Helloooo Maddie 👋🏼 Never saw a Biconic Rock Shell before, wow 🤩 It’s definitely a favorite! The bumps are so cool 😎 That Grape 🍇 is PERFECT!! Holy Crapola 😮 There really were some great finds. You have a great eye spotting them! The Limocena was really nice! The Military Turban was rare! Nice! Thank you for the wonderful beach hunt! Mother Nature gives us the most beautiful treasures 😍 Thank you for your kind words also, I’m so glad I found your Channel! Take Care! TTFN 👋🏼 ❤
G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 Oh wow, so you liked that Biconic Rock Whelk as well 😲 it's a great shell, and quite a rarity here! I have found one or two before, but I never remembered their name, plus the condition wasn't as clearly coloured and textures as this one! That grape too is absolutely perfect; I don't often come across a cowrie in such excellent condition! I don't know about having a good eye for spotting them, but I think I'm persistent enough to sometimes have some good luck 😂 I felt pretty lucky to find that black Limacina too! My favourite part of the day was having the perfect shell for that hermit crab to swap out for; those crabs are so picky yet unpicky about their homes 🦀🤣 Awww Mimi, thank you so much, and thanks for watching yet another big adventure 🥰🐚🥰
High Maddie 👋
I agree with you for Morula biconica, it's not common everywhere, also a fantastic Gyrineum lacunatum, not common, then a gorgeous Monoplex exaratus 👍 very funny 🤣 the way you got the Turbo militaris , a special mention to the huge Cabestana spengleri, just perfect 🤩. It was another beautiful moment, very satisfying collection ❤❤❤ Francesco 👋
Hi Maddie, I love the biconicrock whelk the best. People might not know crabbie has a solid white body. I loved seeing our pet crabs change shells. Lots of fun. They lived a long time. Take care and bring on the videos. Thank you. XXOO. TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 The Biconic Rock Whelk is a really interesting and beautiful shell 🐚 the purple inside is really pretty, and the robust textures on the outside are so cool 😎 I wish I found more of them! The crab change was really awesome too; but this crab was actually a drag green colour, it's not a whole one 😲 a lot of the hermit crabs here are either black, dark green, and only occasionally dark red, or rarely a grey/white colour. They're probably all different species 🤔 but I'm not a crab scientist 😂🦀 I love watching them change though! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Another fun day! Especially enjoyed the crab transfer and the big Spengler’s Trumpet this morning.
G'day Hilary 👋🏻🏖️ This one was a fun day, even without having as many shells as some other adventures 😉 I think it was about the journey 🦀 the crab transfer was just the best!! The bug Spengler's Trumpet was a nice find at the end of my rock pool search; I can't believe that no other shells had come across it first 😁 Thanks for watching 🥰
Hello Maddie! Such a beautiful looking beach day. The biconic rock whelk and the grape cowrie are my favourite shell finds today. The most fun though was definitely the turban shell crab transfer. 💙
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 It was a glorious day out there...I truly feel like it's been 6 months of mostly rainy weather here; absolutely crazy for this time of year! Oh wow, I think the Biconic Rock Whelk was the crowd favourite this time 🤩 and the Grape too, to sure is a lovely one! I agree with you too, that hermit crab transfer was the best part of the whole day 🦀😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. All of your finds are spectacular.
G'day Alisha 👋🏻🐚 My goodness, thank you so much for the kind words 🙏🏻 it was my pleasure to share it with you. This adventure was a really fun one with the crab transfer; so interesting!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Its cool to finally see a military turban! And I always love a good crab transfer.
G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 Yep, and this is actually a small Military Turban; they can get MUCH bigger 🤩 it's also crazy how this is the only place in the world where you will find them 😲 they only live in two states on Australia and no where else in the world. I'm so glad I could convince the hermit crab to move to a more suitable home 🦀! Thanks for watching 🥰
Congrats on 3k subscribers Maddie! Loved the Grape Cowrie the best ...also loved the purple insides of the Biconic Rock Whelk. Lots of nice shells today....can't forget that crab giving up his home for the Bonnet...lol...thanks for sharing .....hugs from Ontario, Canada.............Wanda
G'day Wanda 👋🏻💖 Thank you so much, I still can't believe that I've reached 3000 subscribers like this 🤩 you have been a part of this journey for a long time, thank you so very much ❤️ I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this episode as well, I really loved showing a cool hermit crab transfer like this 🦀 and of course, I think that Biconic Rock Whelk is the crowd favourite this time 😲 Thank you so, so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks My pleasure Maddie...it's been great watching your channel grow !
Good afternoon Maddie , I love watching those exchanges so cool. Loving the rock shell. Beautiful cherry cowrie. I've got to pick the grape as my favorite. What an adorable little fish. I do love the nerites. Thank you Maddie. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
G'day Roberta 👋🏻💖 The hermit crab exchanges are really fun (when they work) and the best part is that I can show you a new shell 😉🦀 Hehe, but there was actually a lot of great shells today; I was quite surprised to find that lovely Biconic Rock Whelk this time too, it's a bit of a rarity! Yesss so the Grape was your favourite as well 🤩 It's not everyday I find a shell like that! I'm glad that you liked the Cherry, Nerites and the vibrant little fish too 🐟 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hello there!
Wiiiiiiiiiind😂💨💨💨💨
Very nice cherry cowrie. It was nice to see the military turban so we know where the operculum come from. Once again well done transplanting Mr Crabbbe😄.
How cute was that fish!
Think my favourite was the turban.
Lovely display Maddie, thank you. ❤xxx
G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 Wind indeed! Actually, we've had a week without my wind or waves here, and it's really kept the sea shells from washing up in the rock pools 😲 I think I suddenly prefer windy days! Crazy! As for the shells this time, I'm really glad that you liked seeing that Military Turban, it's a fun one! Crabs won't always switch homes, but I'm glad that this one did. Aww, thank you for also not minding that I showed a random fish for a few seconds before moving to the shore 🐟 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I much appreciate your videos and enthusiasm over shells 😊
G'day KM 👋🏻🏖️ My goodness, thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏻 they mean more to me than you know 😁 and thanks for watching 🥰
Nice of the crab to switch out its turban for your checkered bonnet!
G'day Reet 👋🏻💖 Hehe, it was very nice of that crab! Hermit crabs have evolved to change shells at the drop if a hat...though sometimes they just won't do it. I was lucky to find a very cooperative one this time, and for such a nice shell exchange too!! Thanks for watching 🥰
A new cowrie for me. The slug-like cowrie was great. Thanks for educating me!
G'day Donna 👋🏻💖 The Slug-like Cowrie (why did they name it this???) is so wonderful! This one was especially dark/black, they are typically a lighter blue or purple colour 🤔 the last time I found one was mid last year; it was a much lighter colour. This is surely my best one of this species, so it really excited me!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
You're very game picking up the cone shells. I love zebra volutes too.
G'day Di 👋🏻🐚 Ahhh, they're probably empty??? Probably??? Don't worry, I won't pick up the deadly ones like that! Thanks for watching 🥰
Beautiful grape cowrie.
Yessss 😁 it was a fantastic find, but hmmm, the next episode at this beach has an even more stunning one! There has been some amazing grapes at the beaches around here lately! Thanks again for watching 🥰
Hello from Wisconsin USA, always a great day when you download a video. Keep up the good work Maddie.
Hello fellow Wisconsinite! I’ve noticed your comments here before. I’m in SE WI and look forward to Maddie’s videos every Tues/Sat. Enjoy the long weekend!
G'day Jeffrey 👋🏻🏖️ Hello to you all the way in Wisconsin 😲 Oh my goodness, thank you for much for your kind words ❤️ I'm so glad that you enjoy the shelling adventures. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, just watched your new video and as always it was awesome. I think your videos are the best because you do really good capturing the moment and your commentary is top notch. If I ever go to Australia I would gladly pay for a "shell tour" because you always find beautiful shells. Keep up the good work... Jeff
I love those Donkey Cowries!❤
G'day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻☘️ The Donkey Cowries are super cute, right?! I've been lucky to find a few to show you recently 😁 I sometimes go months without seeing one! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie! The military Turban is nice too! Confirmed im going to the beach on Tuesday and Wednesday so I’ll go shelling too! Have a nice day!
G'day Anne 👋🏻🏖️ The Military Turban is a really nice find; it's a rare one to wash up into the rock pools!! I'm too much of a wimp to go diving for them...too many sharks, eels, sea snakes, stingrays...🤣!! Oh my goodness Anne, I hope you have a fantastic time at the beach this week! I have my fingers crossed that you grab up some goodies from the sand or rock pool, whenever you are 😁 Thanks for watching the big adventure 🥰
So many nice shells today Maddie!! The Grape is gorgeous. I've not seen a Military Turban before so that was cool. But that Music Cone 😍
G'day Susan 👋🏻💖 There was a surprisingly number of really lovely shells this time 🤩 I actually for forget that I found that Biconic Rock Whelk 😂 Oh yes, this is my first time truly finding a Military Turban, it's a lovely shell species that only lives along the central east coast of Australia, you won't see it anywhere else in the world 😲! Hehe, I know you like the cones though 😉 that Music Cone was a great one! Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
the crab shell trade was soooooo cute! great video
G'day Samantha 👋🏻🏖️ I'm so glad you liked it!!! I was a little sad that I was too far away to capture the crab transfer a little better on camera, but it was still super fun to see. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Stippled Grape Cowrie!! Amazing 🤩 You are SO my type of shell friend-the hermit crab! Totally would have done the same thing 🤣 Oh I love that (and the couple others I’ve seen you do. Power to Maddie 💪🏻 The large Spengler’s Trumpet, File Cowrie ❤️🐚 You are SO BLESSED to have such a great area to shell!
G'day Roxann 👋🏻💖 That Grape Cowrie was a shockingly stunning one 🤩 I was lucky to spot it! Ahhh that hermit crab transfer was the best part of the day for sure; it's fun when you finally get the transfer to work 😁 this time was pretty fast; only about a 5-10 minute wait for this crab to switch shells 🦀 some of them need 30 minutes, if they want the new shell at all 😅. Oh yes absolutely, I know how lucky I am to be in a place with so many species in such abundance! Ahh, but you are the one in the Seashell Capital of the World 😉 Thanks for watching 🥰
That was a fun shelling adventure ❤😀
G'day Bonnie Julien 👋🏻🏖️ Thank you so much for saying so 😁 I also though this one was a lot of fun, that crab transfer was a big highlight for me!! Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
Enjoyed your video this morning but I always do!!!! Lots of beautiful shells.. the grape cowrie and zebra vallute are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
G'day Judi 👋🏻💖 Aww thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ this video sure felt like an adventure with the shells and sea creatures! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the Grape Cowrie and those Zebra Volutes 🦓 they were so nice!! Thanks you for watching the big adventure 🥰
Morning Maddie I have one favorite and it's the slugger like cowrie. I've never seen you find one of those🎉🎉. Have a great day and stay safe and healthy out there. Love❤❤❤❤to you and ninja from all of us
G'day Sheila 👋🏻💖 Woohoo 🎉 I'm glad that someone liked that Slug-like Cowrie as much as I did! It's a rare shell to find, and seeing it in this super black color??? Super fun and unusual 😎 it makes me happy. They're usually a light purple or blue colour. I hope you and the kitties are staying say and healthy over there 😺 summer is coming up for you, so keep that sunscreen handy! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
So many beautiful shells. 😍
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 There was a surprising amount of very nice shells in this one 😲 Thanks for watching the big adventure 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks You are welcome 🫠
Very informative video! My favorites are the rock shell,zebra volutes,orange cockle, and the amazing grape cowrie.
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 Ohhh the Bionic Rock Shell was a really nice find this time!! It's a really unusual one to see here, I think they're quite uncommon?? I'm glad you liked the information in the video...I sometimes wonder if I talk too much about shell facts lately. Oh well 🤣 The little Zebra Volutes were cute this time, and the Grape Cowrie, wow, it's a real stunner!! Thank you so, so much for watching, and for all of your support too 🥰
Hey Maddie 🎉 Congratulations on the 3000 followers! Always love your videos and enthusiasm 🧡
G'day Mary 👋🏻❤️ THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🏻 Reaching this milestone really brought me a lot of joy; it's like the time and effort is being rewarded in a noticeable way. I love finding the shells and sharing the adventures, so I can only thank you again for being a part of that 😁 Thank you, and thanks for watching 🥰
Have a great weekend maddie!❤
G'day Mary Ann 👋🏻🏖️ It turned out to be a big weekend, but a good one 😁 I hope you also had a fabulous weekend as well. Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
Good morning Maddie
What a great day for shelling. The military turban I think was a first for me. The zebra volutes were very beautiful today. I also love the little ones you found. I really like the baby sand dollars. I think it is also very cool when the little crabs went into the bonnet shell. How long did it take the crabby to get into its new shell? Thank you for another wonderful shelling adventure. Hope you have a great day.
G'day Toni 👋🏻💖 It was a really fun day, wasn't it 🤩 that really is the first time I've found a Military Turban because they don't usually wash up into the rock pools. The hermit crab transfer was actually a fast one 🦀 the crab really wanted the bonnet shells, so it switched out in only 5 minutes, or maybe a little more, but less than 10 minutes. The Zebra Volutes were stunning one this time 🦓 and gosh, I think you're the first one to mention the mini sand dollars in a long while 😀 I'm glad that you still like seeing them 😁 So good to see you again by the way, I have been keeping your recovery in my thoughts. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
"holy butts" Maddie? Okaaa 😁
G'day JK 👋🏻🏖️ Haha, ahhh, I was really excited and that was the "expletive" that come out first 😂 whatever happened to "sweet swirly seashells"? Ahh, a missed opportunity on that one. Thanks for watching 🥰
The zebra volutes are pretty.
G'day Di 👋🏻🐚 The Zebra Volutes were a lucky pair of finds; they're so lovely with their little tips intact (I see broken ones more often)! Thanks for watching 🥰
Is your friend shellcade
G'day Yohann 👋🏻🏖️ I wanted to be Shellcade's friend, but I don't think he wanted to be mine 😅 so no, we didn't end up as friends. I haven't seen him at the beach in almost 6 months...a bit of a shame, but I think he's stopped shelling for a while? You'd have to ask him. Thanks for watching 🥰
