- Whaaaat...? Well, didn't I get lucky on this busy school holiday day! The sun was out, the water was blue, and the shells kept coming my way! I loved the cowries (oh gosh, so many nice ones this time) and the stunning murex! That was such a surprise, but the biggest surprise might have been those wonderfully large and numerous Violet Sea Snails... wow!!
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:

I love how you artistically arrange the shells for showing in the end.
G'day Marguerite 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my goodness, thank you so much ☺️ it takes a bit of time and effort, but it's totally worth it to send you all off with a wonderful feast for the eyes 🤩 plus, if I don't do this, I'll forget what I found that day -- I'm not even kidding!!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
To see all those beautiful seashells together at the end was amazing, such pretty colours and so many different and interesting shapes today. Hard to pick a favourite! Thanks Maddie, wishing you a lovely day! 😊💕🐚🌊
G'day Claudia 👋🏻🐚 Aww thank you, I'm glad that you liked the awesome shell display at the end! If I didn't do it, I'd probably forget half the shells I picked up earlier that day 😅 aren't I terrible! Anyway 😜 yes, I don't think anyone can just pick one favourite on a day like this, there was a lot of different types of shells this time! Thank you so much for coming along on such a big adventure this time 🤩 I hope you have a lovely day too 🥰
Those gungy violet sea snails are worth every minute of icky cleaning! Such a pretty colour!
G'day Bearseyeview 👋🏻💖 Haha yeah, they were a bit icky, but I figured out the best technique to remove all of the goopy snail...which I will not describe to you 😆 it was definitely worth it though!! They are just amazing; definitely a rare sight here, especially for one this large, too! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
The purple on those shells was beautiful.
G'day Lisa 👋🏻🐚 The purple colour is so vivid and beautiful 💜🐌 they get that colour from feeding off of the poison in the jellyfish they travel with... but the jellyfish are blue, so I do wonder how they become that brilliant purple instead 🤣 maybe without the poison,they're originally a red colour?? I'm just making stuff up now! Thank for watching 🥰
Those violet sea snails are awesome. Thanks for taking us on your adventures!
G'day Helen 👋🏻🐚 The Violet Sea Snails were absolutely stunning: they haven't washed up again like this since then...this even is supposedly sometimes called a Blue Fleet 😲 Thank you so much for watching the adventure 🥰
Wow Maddie what an adventure ! All those brown lined paper bubbles and all those different purple moon snails. Those ram horns are great ! My favorite is the murex. It is just beautiful ! Thank you for taking on this adventure. Love you girl. Stay safe and keep shelling !
G'day Anita 👋🏻💖 I'm so glad you enjoyed the adventure, I had so much fun finding these too! The purple moon snails really surprised me; they're a rare sight here, and they're never been so big or numerous before. Same with the rams horns! Ohhh I think the Murex might even be my overall favourite too 🤔 I'm honestly going back and forth between the shells this time to decide a favourite 🤣 Thank you so much for joining me on another big adventure today 🥰
I love your zest and excitement for life, I love shells, thankyou for sharing Maddie ❤
G'day Allisyn 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, thank you, I'm glad that I'm not too, uh, overwhelming 🤣😅 I'm just super passionate about shells, and love to share these adventures! Thanks for watching 🥰
The sweet swirly slit worm shell was cool. All the cowries were really nice but I loved the Humphrey’s cowrie. ❤️ Loved the info on limpets. 😚 okay, favorites today… murex, paper bubbles and all the purple shells, and the ram’s horns… just all of them! 😍 Really super day!!! Thank you for a wonderful shell day Maddie! 🐚🐚🐚
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 Awww snap, the slit worm shell was sweet and swirly, wasn't it! The Humphreys Cowrie, my goodness, I was quite surprised to see such a nice one just sitting there like that 😲 there was so much else to like in this one though; the murex, paper bubbles, rams horns, and the violet sea snails, wow, it was an incredible day. Thank you so much for watching this big adventure, Pam 🥰
Hi Maddie 👋 Another beautiful day for your hunts. My favorite today is the Humphreys Cowry! Love the colors and spots on him. 😊 Second is the Tweed Murex, it's perfect 😍 Third is the Shouldered Triton.. What a gorgeous little shell. I want to give a shout-out to all of the Violet Moon Snails 🐌 💜 They're my favorite color, and they're beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 Thanks again Maddie for a fun and awesome shell hunt!!!! TTFN 👋❤️
G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 This was a specular day, wasn't it?! There was so much to like, and I honestly can't remember the last time I had such a great day with this kind of variety of rarer shells. You've picked the best favourites 🤩 the Humphreys, the Tweed Murex, and also the Shouldered Triton, wow, I didn't think that last one would get any love on a day like this!! The Violet Sea Snails stole the show for a lot of people in this one 🐌💜 haha!! Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
Those little purple babies are the best.
G'day Cassandra 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, they are so cute, right 💜🐌 it was so exciting to find them here in such great numbers! Thanks for watching 🥰
Wow in love with the violet snail shells. You found 9 different Coweris amazing. Wonderful fines hurray 🎉
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 Oh my goodness, you know, I never actually think to count how many different cowrie species I find?? Nine sounds like a lot; that's nearly a quarter of the total number of cowrie species I've ever found here 🤩 (I think I've found about 40 different ones from this beach). The Violet Sea Snails were absolutely crazy today; they're usually a rare sight... and they snails that wash up here and never usually this big! Previously, I'd only found ones that were much smaller 🐌💜 I felt spoiled today, but also, I feel like I really had to "work" for them to cleaned them out before taking them home 🤣 Thank you so much for watching this big adventure today 🥰
Ah Maddie!! The little violet dudes are adorable 😍
G'day Susan 👋🏻💖 Hehe, they are just so fabulous, right?!! It was such a surprise to find these; I would've though that everyone else would've collected them first, but I guess no one checked the high wrackline for them?!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Morning Maddie, I love all the shells today but I really love the purple snails and the rams horn. Have a great day and stay safe and healthy. Love to you both from all of us ❤❤❤❤
G'day Sheila 👋🏻💖 I hope you're doing well today 🤗 The shells from this adventure were just stunning; I was incredibly fortunate to find such lovely one despite it being busy here with school holidays! I guess most people are just looking for cowries, but even so, I still got a bunch of great ones that washed in earlier that day! The Violet Sea Snails were the biggest surprise; I've never seen them wash ashore in this number or this size; it was really exciting and I made sure to spend an extra 30 minutes to collect them all from this side of the beach 🏖️🤣 Thank you so much for watching 🥰 all the love back to you and the kitties 😻
Wow, Maddie! What a nice haul today. The violet sea snails are gorgeous! The bonnet is a beauty. Thanks for sharing such great finds.
G'day Diane 👋🏻💖 Oh my goodness, I could just gush about those lovely large Violet Sea Snails all day 🤩 they're simply stunning and such a lucky (and rare for here) find! Thank you so much for coming along on this big adventure today 🥰
My favorites for today are the purple moon snails. Purple is my favorite color and would love to have some purple moon snails. Thank you so much for these videos that you make. They bring me so much enjoyment. Hope you have an awesome week.
G'day Sherry 👋🏻❤️ Hehe, I'm right there with you; purple and blue are my favourite colours too 💜🐌 The Sea Snails today were simply fantastic, I was beyond surprised to see so many here, and so many huge ones too!! Aww thank you for saying so, I'm glad you enjoy them; I really love having these adventures and sharing them too! Thanks again for watching 🥰
Good morning, Maddie
Wow, so many beautiful shells. I am going to start with my 1st ones. At least, I think they all are my 1sts . The rams horn( I think I might of seen them once), DE le Beches cockle, whitish dog whelke (I may have seen them, but it has been a long time), tweed murex, dwarf violet snails. They are just too cute. The violet sea snails were great sizes today. The big boy was beautiful. I like the limpits. It is always nice to learn something new about any shell. The facts about the limpits is just amazing. The snake heads, Arabian, top shell, music cone, crowned cone, embossed venus, bloched nerite, mini sand dollars, mulberry whelke, S. trumpets, cat cowrie, the brown- lined paper bubble shells, stripped-mouth periwinkle were so nice. I enjoy each and every single shell. The murex is very nice along with all the purple ones you found today. I can never find a favorite. You may have started out slow finding shells but Wow you found so many beautiful and amazing shells today. Thank you so very much for sharing another wonderful shelling adventure. I am so greatful for your videos. They make me relax and enjoy your videos. You really help make my days better. Each and every video. I hope you have a wonderful day Maddie 😊 Thank you😊
G'day Toni 👋🏻💖 Oh my, I nearly missed your comment here! The Ram's Horn was indeed a shell that I had only shown once before a long while ago; they rarely wash up here, so I have been in heaven lately with so many of them! The De la Beche's Cockle is one that I found once before, but it must have been last year perhaps? It was a long time ago; I almost never seen them, so I guess it's a rare bivalve here at this beach? Hehehe, I'm glad that you liked my limpet fact; I nearly couldn't believe it myself, it just seemed so bizarre! Oh my goodness, you do have those names memorised!! There was just so many amazing ones to uncover today. The Paper Bubbles were a highlight, but oh yes, I'm glad that you liked the Murex and Violet Sea Snails too! Thank you so much for coming long to enjoy a very big shelling adventure 🥰
I love the paper bubbles, and purple moon scales lovely rams horns ❤🎉🎉🎉
G'day Sherry 👋🏻❤️ Oh my goodness, the Paper Bubbles were just fantastic; I'm glad that they didn't get overlooked amidst all of the other shells today 🐚🤩 the Ram's Horns and Violet Sea Snails nearly stole the show 🤣 Thanks for watching 🥰
Amazing! Just happen to see your video in my listing! Love seeing all the shells that are different versions of what we find in Florida and other beaches in the US. I love the cowries and those purple snails! Wow! Guess I have a new bucket list place to go shelling. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
G'day Melissa 👋🏻💖 Oh wow, hello to you, and thank you for checking out my video 🤩 I'm thrilled that you enjoyed seeing the different shells on this side of the world; it's really crazy how different they are, but then some are so similar! I gotta say, I love the Cowries too! The Violet Sea Snails really stole the show this time though 💜🐌 but did you know that they travel world wide?? That can even show up in the US! Ohoho, maybe I'll see you here one day 😉 just remember, Australia is huge, so there are lots of places to look for shells... Queensland is fantastic, but gosh, my bucket list place is a few big beaches in Western Australia 🦘! Gotta get there one day! Anyhoo, thanks for watching!
Love the Rams horns,violet snails are soo cool, the others are awesome too!
G'day Denise 👋🏻🏖️ They are so super cool, right? Same with this fabulous Violet Sea Snails 💜 🐌 They're going to look so good in a jar 😍 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure today 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks ❤
Hi Maddie, so many lovely shells 🤩🤩 my favourites are the little cute Violet Sea Snails, the purple colour is so beautiful. The Ram's Horn Squids look special too. The Music Cone and the Brown-lined Paper Bubbles are very very nice. How I wish I were there 😇😇😇 I am glad you had such good fun.
G'day Florence 👋🏻💖 The purple on the Violet Sea Snails is just so lovely and vibrant, isn't it 🐌💜 oh gosh, and the Ram's Horns are so specially too. Ahh it was a wonderful day 😄 I'm glad that you liked the music cone and paper bubbles too, it was almost too easy to overlook them on a day like this! Thank you so much for joining me for such a long adventure today 🥰
Oooooooh! Those purple shells! 😍
G'day LuAnn 👋🏻🐚 Hehe, they're pretty fabulous, right?! They're a rather rare sight on the shoes here; that float in with the jellyfish, but I've never seen so many all at once like this! Thanks for watching 🥰
My go-to "goopy guy" removal tool will always be ants. Left out a couple pink mouth murex and glass sponges and forget them. About a year later I found them covered up by weeds, and they were completely cleaned out and smell free. Liked the Haustellum tweedianum. Yes, I looked it up. Thought the siphonal canal would be longer, but no, it's just right. Was blown away by the violet snails. Never saw them so big and perfect. Can't ignore the brown lined bubbles and the rams horns. Think I'll buy a rams horn and display it next to my chambered nautilus. Most impressive shelling day - how exciting!
!
G'day Cathy 👋🏻🏖️ Ants are certainly an option... though, personally, they take too long for my liking!! Also, I did try doing that once with another brown-lined paper bubble, and I come back to it some weeks later, but even though it was mostly in the shade, the colours/patterns on it had faded dramatically, so I hesitate to do this again for small and thin shells. A Pink Mouth Murex would have been perfect for it, but I haven't heard of glass sponges before, I will need to look them up! Oh wow, you googled the Haustellum tweedianum? Many others in that genus have a longer siphon, but yes, this one is small... although I must say, the one I got this time might have lost a third or half inch off of the end of it? I think my other rough ones from Hervey Bay had more of a siphon still on them. Anyway, I am still super happy with it! The little Ram's Horns are absolutely lovely; though much smaller than your Nautilus, the Ram's Horns are only about an inch in diameter. I hope you find some for your collection! Thank you so much for watching this long and exciting adventure ❤
Hello Maddie....lots of great shells today...you never disappoint ! I loved that little Shouldered Triton and the music cone was really nice. Also I loved the pattern on the Embossed Venus. Thanks for sharing and have a great day....hugs from Ontario, Canada.....Wanda
G'day Wanda 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my goodness, there really were a bunch of lovely shells this time 🤩 but I'm sure some adventure do disappoint a little (looks at the one from Pincushion Island), just not this one 🤣!! Ohh I'm so glad that the little Shouldered Triton is getting some love; it's such a cute shell that is an nice uncommon one, but usually gets overlooked. It doesn't help that I never seem to find big ones of them either 😅 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure today 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks You never disappoint Maddie ! I love all of your adventures !
Awesome video Maddie. New shells again for list. Favorites are Striped Mouth Periwinkle, Dwarf Violet Snail, Ram's Horns, De Le Beche's Cockle. Love all the shells really. After all this time still have trouble with names. No falling Maddie. Nice board fin. Take care. XXOO. TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 I'm really glad that you enjoyed the video 😀 it's not often that I have such a long one at this beach; but there was a lot of fun things to find this time! The Dwarf Violet Snails also need to be cleaned out, but when I do, gosh, they're going to look so good all together in a little jar!! De La Beche's Cockle is pretty fun too, I think I've only ever found one other of those! I think you're doing really well with the names, Trudy!! My goodness, it's hard for me to wrap me head around the names, and I'm the one that's using them every other day! Thank you so much for joining me for a big adventure today 🥰
What a fruitful day!!
G'day Brenda 👋🏻🐚 Haha, you can say that again! I am beyond thrilled with the shells I found this time. Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie,
Did you also know that the Limpits return to the same spot on the rock and they actually chew as indent in the rock which aids them to withstand the pressure of waves. I love the little purple sea snails,I have not seen them before and some nice Limpits. Thanks for sharing your experience with us again.
G'day Aussie Dirt Digger 👋🏻🐚 Oh wow, you have even more limpet facts than me!! I was talking up my fact to you, but I guess you already knew it! Nope, I had no idea that they go back to the same spot on the rock like that; what crazy creatures!! Ohh, I'm thrilled that you liked the Violet Sea Snails too, they were super cool this time! Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
All shells are soooooo beatifulllllll ❤❤❤❤
G'day Hurriyet 👋🏻🏖️ The shells were just stunning today; I was so pleased with the find 🤩 Thank you for coming along on this big adventure today 🥰
OMG Maddie you found yourself a Snake-head Cowire seashell I love Snake-head Cowire, in Montego Bay Jamaica 🇯🇲 I found myself a medium size Queen Conch seashell at the market right by the street and it was so cool that I found a new seashell for myself in Jamaica, Jamaica is such a pretty island to go to find some seashells there. P.S. Thank you for taking us on a adventure to find more seashells, I really like all of your seashell that you found at the beach. Love and Hugs, Julia.
G'day Julia 👋🏻🏖️ Ohh yes, the Snake-head Cowries are a regular shell to find here; I love them too! My goodness, I'd never find a Queen Conch here though; you are so lucky to have come across one at the market! My goodness Julia, thank you for you kind words 😊 it was my pleasure to take you on this Australian beach adventure. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, what a lot of lovely shells you found. The cowries were wonderful and the tweed murex too. Those purple snails were so vibrant even if you did have to do stinky snail removals it was worth it. 😂xxx
G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 I was shocked at how lucky I got with the shells this time; I really though the beach would be too picked over, but yet everyone missed finding these Violet Sea Snails 💜🐌 The cowries were wonderful too, and my goodness, that Murex is definitely going to be my best of that species for a very long time! Ahhh, yes, the stinky snail removal was gross... looked grosser than it smelled; it was a funky inky kind of smell? Much less bad than the stinky Strombuses, not that I'm judging...no... anyway! Thank you so much for joining me on this big adventure 🥰
Wonderful shells, Maddie 😍.
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 There were some really lovely ones to find today! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@SandCoffeeRocks You're welcome, Maddie 🫠.
I love the violet ones. I have yet to find any violet snails in SW Florida.
G'day Joann 👋🏻💖 Oh my gosh, the Violet Sea Snails are just fabulous 🤩 it's really amazing that they can wash up anywhere in the world... I hope you can collect some in SE Florida soon!! For what it's worth, they're a rare one to see here too. Thanks for watching 💜🐌
Hey Maddie! So many wonderful shells you don’t normally find! Your reward for sticking with it when you hadn’t found anything for the first 20 minutes. Good job! Love the Rams Horns and the violet Snail shells. Do those float on the surface of the ocean as well?
G'day Mary 👋🏻💖 It certainly was a day filled with surprises 🤩 Ahh, I was a bit worried at the start, but the tide was still high, so I had plenty of time to keep looking for fun shells to find 🤗 it might not seem like it in the videos, but each episode is about three hours of shell hunting... though this time I probably spend another half and hour searching for and collecting every single Violet Sea Snail from that side of the beach 🏖️ worth it!! I have an itch to look for even more on the open side of the beach... but I think I have enough for now!! Also, yes, they float on top of the water with a "bubble raft" which is the snails foot. That's why they floated all the way up to the high wrackline this time, and stayed up there hidden from shell collectors looking for shells in the rock pools 🤔 it's also how I knew they were deceased (other than their funky smell and dripping fluids); they no longer had their bubble raft at that point. And the ants were getting to them. Yep, sorry Mary, this turned a bit more icky than I intended!! Thanks for watching 🥰
I love the constricted top shell and always wentletraps!!! Love from Ohio 💞💞💞💞 Edit: love the bonnet and the violets!
G'day Aunt Di 👋🏻❤️ Hello again to you in Ohio! The shells today were simply wonderful; the bonnet and Violet Sea Snails were so exciting 💜🐌 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie today it’s the Bonnet 😂😂😂❤
G'day Judi 👋🏻💖 Oh wow, so it was the bonnet that caught your eye this time! It was a beauty 😍 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure today 🥰
Hi Maddie!! Great shelling!!!! I like to soak the Violet Snails in water and Nappy San in an empty Nappy San bottle for a couple of days/weeks. It's gross but they clean up nicely and don't smell after I rinse them. I also do this with sea urchins that still have smelly stuff and spines. Xx🩵🐚🌊
G'day Helen 👋🏻🏖️ Oh that's a good idea; a few people are suggested using the Oxy-action type of stuff for sea urchins too... uhh, does it, like, dissolve all of their fleshy bits somehow! I seriously wonder how it works 😅 all the little purple sea snails need a clean out, but I was lucky enough to get everything out of the big ones with my stick and pull technique. I will definitely try Nappy San on a few of the urchins to see how they go before committing toy big one from Burrum Heads... they certainly aren't getting any better where I left them,so I need to do something soon 🤣 Thank you so much for the advice, and for watching 🥰
