- It's the afternoon session at Hervey Bay! I would have loved to go to the mangroves, but alas, it is so far to walk... I'm glad I didn't though; I would have missed out on that lovely Long-spined Thorny Oyster. Ahhh, I think "spondylus" is actually easier to say! Anyways, thank you so much for watching~
Morning at Burrum Heads: • Finding Seashells at L...
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 Hervey Bay and it's surrounding beaches had such lovely seashells until I saw "Shellcade Shelling Down Under" - I admired him a lot, and you can also check out his videos here:

The sordid moon snail in the beginning has such a beautiful red coloring on the bottom. Stunner!
Thanks for the beach walk Maddie
G'day Donna 👋🏻💖 Oh my goodness, I didn't even realise 😲 I think I take them for granted just a little bit 🤔 Thank you for appreciating those beautiful Sordid Moon Snails 🐌 and thank you for watching another big beach adventure 🥰
I really like the shape of the conical moon snails. 🐌🐌🐌 Another nice one is the burnt edged rock whelk. 🧡 Oh my goodness… that thorny oyster!!! Gorgeous! That’s my favorite today. You made a great haul today. 🎉🎉🎉 I shared some shells with my great niece on Saturday. I let her go through a big I haven’t sorted yet and she had a blast! Shells just make people happy! Thank you for the wonderful video Maddie! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 Ohh those Conical Moon Snails do have a nice elongate shape, don't they? Very elegant! That Burnt-edge Rock Shell is a nice find but yesss, that Thorny Oyster really was the easy favourite for the trip to Hervey Bay 😁 Ohhhhh that was so lovely, I bet your great niece was absolutely thrills to pick and choose her own shelly treasures 🤩 shells really do make people so happy 😁 Thank you for watching 🥰
Thanks for teaching and comparing different shells Maddie, that was great! Also, I never get tired of seeing the multi-colored bladder moon snails, don’t worry about that. 😁❤
G'day Sherrie 👋🏻🏖️ Phew, I'm glad that you don't mind too many bladder moon snails 😉 I try not to show the same shell species too many times if I can help if, though sometimes that's just how it is 😅 And was if you that mentioned seeing more comparisons like this?? Someone mentioned it not long ago; so I have been trying to compare when I think of it 😁 Thanks for watching 🥰
the thorny oyster is the winner, but I also loved the strumbus...beautiful colors
G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ Ohh yes, the Thorny Oyster was the well deserved favourite 😍 but my goodness, I'm glad that you like that nicely coloured Strombus as well 🤩 Thanks for watching 🥰
Good morning, Maddie
The shrewd top shell is beautiful and so dark. The strawberry top shell is so lovely. The Haynes turbans. The strombus and the little limpits. All the moon snails have beautiful colors. I like the venus shells. Scary murex, the thorny top shell, dog whelke, and the neirite. There are just so many beautiful shells but the long spined thorny oyster is amazing. What an amazing shelling adventure. Thank you very much Maddie
Have a great day.
G'day Toni 👋🏻💖 There was a surprising amount of variety... for a while, I truly didn't think that I'd collect enough species to make for an interesting video. Those moon snails had lovely colours, but the Thorny Oyster really had the most incredible red on it's shell 🤩 Ahhh, all of the venus and surf clams were lovely too; I think I am always incredibly spoiled by this beach. I hope you are slowly feeling better, Toni, or can at least can see a way forward towards full health again. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@SandCoffeeRocks Hi Maddie
Thank you for lifting my spirits. You are an amazing person.
I still have the hole in my hip. It is slowly getting better. It is just taking so long. It has been a long almost 9 months. There are so many things I still can not do because of the hip issue. Don has to clean and pack it every night. He has to do just about everything. I can finally get myself dressed without his help. I am moving forward a little at a time. I do my best to help, but it is just not enough. There are so many things I really like to do and can not do. I just have to remember I will get there, hopefully sooner than later.
Have a wonderful day, Maddie
I’m going with the obvious today. That long spined thorny oyster was pretty amazing!
G'day Reet 👋🏻💖 Hehe, it really was the stand-out from the collection today! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hello Maddie, I hope all is well with you. That turkey wing was big. Loving the drupe shell. Always love a jingle😊 ooh that surf clam had beautiful blue colouring. Yes, love the dog whelk.
I didn’t know that🦘visit the beach😮 what do they do down there?
Please no stinky strombuses😂
That thorny oyster was amazing!
Love a Haynes turban.
Lovely design at the end, thank you Maddie.❤xxx
G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 Ohh I think that turkey wing was a good size; they're always so large from here! Actually, a lot of shells are able to reach their full size before washing ashore; it must be the thriving ecosystem at work. As for the kangaroos, I'm not sure what they go down there for...maybe it's just an easier way to move between environments? A lot of the surrounding areas have residential homes with cars and dogs, so a quiet beach must make it easier for them to move around in the morning? Not 100% sure though. As always, thank you so much for the kind words about the display 🙏🏻🐚 I'm so glad that you enjoyed the shells and the adventure today 🥰
Hi Maddie , another great day shelling for you 🎉 that Long-Spined Thorny Oyster was well deserved favorite today , and it looked so smart as the Center of your shell arrangement 😍😎
G'day Annie 👋🏻🏖️ I'm glad that you liked this shelling adventure 🤩 To me, I think the morning session (the weekend video with the urchins) was maybe more exciting, but gosh, I did like seeing the Bladder Moon Snails and Thorny Oyster here 😁 it really was the highlight of the trip, and a great centerpiece as you said 💖 Thanks again for watching 🥰
That thorny oyster is beautiful! It's amazing that it still has all of those spines intact.
G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 Oh yes, it was incredibly exciting to see one with such strong spines...these shells seem to wear away very quickly, or perhaps it just takes a long time to reach the mud flats from the offshore reefs. Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
That super thorny oyster has some lovely spiky thorns. I’ll never tire of those!
G'day Maggie 👋🏻🏖️ It was the highlight of the Hervey Bay trip 😁 Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie Great Video As Always 🎉🎉🎉❤
G'day Judi 👋🏻💖 Hehe, thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻 and thank you so much for watching another big adventure 🥰
Hi Maddie, Nice video. No favorites today. Love all the shells. Raining cats and dogs out literally very hard. You take care. Thank you. XXOO. TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 Even without a favourite, I'm glad that you liked them all 😁 you take care too; stay dry! Thanks for watching the big adventure 🥰
Love all the shells, enjoy watching you find them.
G'day Di 👋🏻🏖️ Awww thank you for your kind words ❤️ I'm thrilled that you enjoy the shells and these adventures. Thanks for watching 🥰
OH, WOW!! THAT SPINY OYSTER SHELL IS VERY UNUSUAL AND QUITE SPECTACULAR. I LOVE THE DIFFERENT ARCS...AND THE VENUS SHELLS, TOO. ALSO, THANKS FOR SHARING THOSE KANGAROO TRACKS. WE DON'T SEE A LOT OF THEM UP HERE IN NORTHEASTERN WASHINGTON STATE, USA. 🤣🤣🤣🥰
G'day Sunny Belisle 👋🏻🏖️ Haha, no, I don't think you would see kangaroo tracks over there 🦘😂! Ohh and it seems like the bivalves really stood out to you this time! I must admit; that red and white Thorny Oyster really stole the show right at the end... I still can't believe that I didn't notice it when I walked that section a earlier; but then again, there are just so many shells and wracklines to look over on this beach 😲 Thanks for watching 🥰
That very first bladder moon snail was really special. The others paled in comparison! Of course the propeller arcs are cool and fun!❤
G'day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻☘️❤️ Ohhh yes, that one was nice! It looked like it had stripes of colour, though I suspect that is from where the shells material has dried and lightened in colour...they look amazing in that half and half stage of wet/dry shell material! Thanks for watching 🥰
Beautiful shells again! Thanx for another exciting video 😉👌🥰
G'day Nati 👋🏻🏖️ Haha, the rough conditions certainly drive up the excitement factor sometimes! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddy, beautiful moon snails! I also love the Venus shells and of course the thorny oyster is amazing! Love watching your videos! Take care!
G'day Kristen 👋🏻🐚 Thank you so much 🤩 I'm so glad that you enjoyed the moon snails, I was worried that I showed too many 😅 ahhh and you liked the Venus shells too? There is a surprisingly amount of different species here sometimes 😲 and the Thorny Oyster really was the MVP of the trip 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Great video Maddie, I think you do such an amazing job explaining the shells. Keep it up and can't wait till the next video.
G'day Jeff 👋🏻🏖️ Awww gosh, thank you so much for saying so 😁 I don't know if I'm good at it every time, but I do try some of the time 😂 Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
Hello Maddie! Ahhh that moon at the start w/its operculum was so neat to see! “Kangaroo prints,” that’s something I never hear! 😂 WOW, have you ever seen one at the beach?
LOVE your spiky oyster ❤🐚😍 Beautiful shells! I would never get sick of seeing your shelling adventures 👍🏼👍🏼
G'day Roxann 👋🏻🏖️ it's really interesting to see those moon snails with their operculums...you know, I've collected hundreds of moon snails off the beach, but I've never found a single operculum from them?? I guess the sand swallows it up quickly. But the most notable shell this time was that Thorny Oyster 😲 maybe one day I'll find a more fresh and still joined one??
Oh goodness, thank you for your kind words 🙏🏻 Hehe, the kangaroo tracks are definitely something that you would see over there 😂 Hmm, none on the beaches (I think they hop around very early in the morning/dawn) but I sometimes see them in the grassy sections around these quiet coastal towns! Gotta be careful on the roads too; most car insurance companies sell "roo cover" for a reason 😧 Thanks for watching 🥰
Wonderful shells, Maddie 😍
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 Oh yes, it was a great day for the shells! Thank you for joining me on another big adventure 🥰
Hey Maddie! I always love your favourites ❤ I do adore all of the Venus Clams!
G'day Mary 👋🏻🏖️ Awww gosh, I'm really glad that you enjoyed the shells as much as I did 😁 those Venus clams and surf clams were nice today! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, my favorite is the spiny oyster! Finding that shell to me finding a 3inch great white shark. Always look forward to each and every video.❤🎉😊
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 Yessss the thorny oyster was a real stunner...but I think finding a 3 inch great white shark tooth would be even more exciting and noteworthy! I hope all of the summer storms are bringing in some fresh fossils for you to find! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi, Maddie, absolutely the thorny oyster is my favorite. Imagine that. Lol I think I appreciate the bladder moon as my favorite moon snail. I couldn't find where you said you went before Hervy bay. I looked for the video. Thanks for sharing and have a good day
G'day Roberta 👋🏻💖 Hehe, that Thorny Oyster really was the highlight of the Hervey Bay trip 😁 and yesss, we can be Team Bladder Moon Snail together 🐌😂 Ahh yes, I was at Burrum Heads in the morning (it was the weekend video from a few days ago), here's the link to it: ruclips.net/video/TAu9UcEfVRY/видео.html Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I did watch that one. I was worried about missing my favorite channel and RUclipsr. 😂 Jus making sure, I miss understood your intro on that video. Thank you Maddie@@SandCoffeeRocks
@@robertabessey7990 Ahhh sorry, I can see how it would be misunderstood 😅 especially when you watch them on the release day, and the last one was a few days ago. Thanks again for coming along on these adventures 🥰
Hey Maddie! I am in Love 🥰 with the Long Spined Oyster 🦪 what a beautiful, colorful, spiky boy! The Burnt Edge Rock Shell is my second favorite 🤩 Love his bumps and color.. Third is the Strawberry Top Shell. There’s just something about the top shells for me.. I found a lot of them on Marco Island in June. They have a lot of detail and really nice colors on them.. Thanks again for a fun trip to Hervey Bay! Safe Travels my friend! TTFN 👋🏼 ❤
G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 Hehe, that Long-spined Thorny Oyster is a lovely find 🤩 I've never seen one with such saturated colours here! Ohhh and the Burnt-edge Rock Shell and Spotted Strawberry Top Shell are also favourites...I think you were in love with those red colours and patterns today! Mimi, I suddenly don't remember which top shells come from the Florida areas, which ones did you find? I'm happy to hear that you found a bounty of them! Thank you so, so much for watching this big adventure 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks Hi Maddie👋🏼 I think they are Tampa Top Snail Shells
@@MiMi-og4wx Ohh!! Thank you for the reply, I will look them up and keep them in mind 🤩
@@MiMi-og4wx Interesting, they are from the Calliostoma genus; the same genus as the Spotted Strawberry Top Shells over here!
you really are tempting me to do the drive up the coast. Thanks for sharing.
G'day Danielle 👋🏻🏖️ Why not, just go for (says me, the shelling devil on your shoulder) 😂! It's a big day trip with a lot of driving, but the roads are much less stressful that the highway going south to the cities. The weekend is even more calm. Just find a day with a low tide in the middle of the day, and have fun? Message me if you want to know about any specific beaches, though I put the info in my videos anyway 😉 Thanks for watching 🥰
The best place in the world , Hervey Bay !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
G'day Dennis 👋🏻🏖️ It's a wonderful place 🤩 I think it will be an extremely popular beachy tourist town in maybe another 20-30 years? I'd live there if I had to 😂 Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks I've walked those beaches many times looking at the shells strewn over the golden sand in fact I have walked from Urangan all the way to Point Vernon and around to where the beach ends that's about 12 K , and I have been to many places around the world but the quite and safe beaches around the bay are just awesome , great to see our little peace of paradise shown on RUclips !!!
@@dennisrichards7994 Wow, I didn't realize I was talking to a local! You're a lucky guy to live in such a lovely place; I wasn't kidding, if I didn't live on the Sunshine Coast, I'd be looking for somewhere around your neck of the woods. That's a very long walk from Urangan to Point Vernon 😲 I must admit, I've only been shelling near Urangan once so far, but I loved the Pink Sand Dollars there. I mostly stick to Dundowran and Burrum Heads. What's the shelling like at Point Vernon? Everyone tells me that there isn't much to see 🤔 but I wouldn't mind another opinion from a local. I have also yet to try Pialba, but I was told that it's more popular than Dundowran, so I decided to stick to this more quieter spot. I hope you've found some lovely shells on your beach walks 🐚 again, you live in a terrific place!
@@SandCoffeeRocks When it comes to shells you got it about right, at Point Vernon is more for fishing and the turtle migration if you are into that sort of thing and I think you can view the whales their as well at times , good shell hunting !!!
Wonderful ❤😂😂❤😂
G'day Lynn 👋🏻🐚 Awww thank you!!! I really enjoyed the afternoon at this beach; it might have been a little overshadowed by the previous episode (the morning at a different nearby beach) but goodness, that Thorny Oyster brought me a big smile for the day! Thank you once again for watching a big adventure 🥰
WOW!!
G'day Brenda 👋🏻🐚 It might be a straight into the cabinet find for the oyster 🤩! Thanks for watching 🥰
I live and shell in Florida! The shells you find are mostly different than ours! I love the limpets pretty much all of them lol
G'day Lori 👋🏻🐚 Hello to you in the seashell capitol of the world 🏖️! Oh yes, the shells in Australia are mostly completely different species than what you'll see in Florida, even if some of them look quite similar (such as the Bladder Moon Snails VS your Shark Eyes; same genus, different species 😲)! Oh goodness, I though the limpets were small and unimpressive in this episode 😂 I promise you, I find even larger and more colourful ones in my other beach trips; but I need to remind myself to pick up more of them 😉 I'm really glad that you liked them this time; I don't often see them at this beach. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Aaaaaaahhhh.........
I thought i already put my comment here😢, but it seems i forgot to click the 'send' button😅
My fav today issssss moooonnnsnailllss 🎉
It feel like a song for me when u keep finding moonsnails😂
2nd is the long spined thorny oyster (i always like this kind of bivalves)
U don't know how much i love this video Maddie,
Those shinny moonsnails keep dancing in my mind😂
Thanks for this great video Maddie 🎉
G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 Ohhh I'm sorry about that, I think RUclips likes to mess up people's comments sometimes, you're not the first one that's mentioned this happening. Thank you for making a new one! Hehehe, it was a lovely day for the Moon Snails, wasn't it! This middle section of the beach has a bounty of them! The Long-spined Thorny Oyster is such a fun one; have you found any like this on your beaches? As always Nelly, thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks thorny oysters in here always lost the their thorns already , or maybe they just another kind of it🤔
But its enough for me to feel excited everytime i find it
Thorny oysters are very difficult for me to identify... so I wish I could tell you what kind you find over there! Hmmm, there are some thorny oysters with incredible small protrusions, and no doubt there are some places that wear them down even when the mollusc is still alive. Even so, they are still amazing shells :D I'm glad that you can find them, and that they're a cause for excitement :D!!
@@SandCoffeeRocks yoshhh Maddie, I'm so happy when i find it
خیلی ویدیو هاتو دوست دارم، ادامه بده❤
Hello Sarina 👋🏻🐚 Thank you so much for your kind words 😁 and thank you so much for watching the shell finding adventure 🥰 سلام سارینا 👋🏻🐚 خیلی ممنون از حرفای محبت آمیزت 😁 و خیلی ممنون از تماشای ماجراجویی
Hii Maddie 🤩👋6:58 Woww definitely my favourite for today it’s so cute!🥹 it looks historical in some way😅,Great video💖💖!!Oh yeah question:Is there shark teeth in Australia?😯😯 oh well have a great rest of your day God loves you🥰🙏byeee!!💛
G'day Selena 👋🏻💖 Ohhh so your favourite is the little Thorny Phos shell! Wow, I thought that one would be overlooked, so I'm glad that you like it! For your question about the shark teeth; yes, they can wash up here 😲 but I shouldn't collect them; apparently the fisheries department doesn't like people to take them? I'm not sure why. But, they are not fossilised shark teeth...if I want to find those cool fossilised shark teeth (I see them on Instagram sometimes) then I will need to go to the east coast of the USA! I was lucky to be sent some from South Carolina on the east coast of USA. Thanks for watching 🥰

Hi, I just got back from a trip to Miami Beach and found some shells ! I was wondering what you do to display your shells at a desk ? I want them safe but also I’d like to see them while sitting at my desk. I feel if I just set them on the desk they will get damaged or i’ll lose one. How do you recommend I display them ?
G'day Alli, my goodness, welcome back from a big shell finding adventure! I hope you had a lovely time in Florida! For me, I don't display shells on my desk unless I've dumped them there to be sorted later... whoops, I'm a slightly messy person?? Getting back to your question though, I do have some ideas for desk displays depending on the size and variety of the shells... let's make some paragraphs:
The first thing that came to mind was this video by The Shell Nuts regarding this very topic: ruclips.net/video/DmcBSEE80A0/видео.html I urge you to see how they use large glass jars, clear vases, and a little mineral oil to make beautiful shell displays - very inspiring and not too difficult to do.
The second thing that came to mind (especially for smaller or flatter shells) was a frame; you could try a shadow box like these: www.google.com/search?q=shell+shadow+box that you could put together yourself with a little tape/glue and a hopefully inexpensive frame from your department store. It could be time consuming depending on the arrangement that you decide to create, but very unique and personalized to you tastes.
Another idea, though more expensive for the amount of display space it has to offer and may or may not work depending on which shells you use (I've never tried it with any shells), is a 3D floating frame, which might also look nice on a desk: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1313&_nkw=3D+floating+frame&_sacat=0 I think most people use them for jewellery and small mementos, so I can't see why it wouldn't work with shells.. but a rectangular frame like some of them on the eBay listings might hold, perhaps, 2 or 3 shells the size of a Lace Murex with how the plastic film needs to stretch and remain taut to hold the objects within it in place?
If you have mini/micro shells, then a few tiny glass jars should work well; you can get them from craft or dollar stores; usually a few thumb-sized jars for a dollar or two spending on size and amount. The ones with the cork lids always look beachy to me!
For a variety of extremely small shells, this has been a very popular little gadget on Instagram lately... I don't know if the fad is worth it, but it can look quite pretty if done right: www.ebay.com/itm/355559145589?var=624692324185&itmmeta=01J4XG8QP47MV6HEW70KQVHAKB&hash=item52c8fa0075:g:cc4AAOSw0q5l-QuA&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8KTZImqOhtNMnH2trboQIoerJgYHw%2BPy34%2FtI0QNO2jKfrOOF4qzBD1oSs93YO%2FjRCBo0LRaoZOYYU%2F7v8JigO9pKV1TA5JSiFId5BxTsZ4ZJzIfn9CoHHO317Cm5AjhnGVpnSpO9AQxN5V5az5cV9sDJGlrjy1pQVVdExz5zT9NPLE%2BD%2B%2FKec%2BbA98sYINcp8EFecCMS1gNJIefBDDyVj7Iz0N295Sx8YYGz46Pijx3H1p07dNQxW1fHM7Dv9H8Vdi0nR03PxmZsheeGRwku9FsTKHldbyvh%2FlVrTrTZTa1BUcpljMvVvovavhoAzkKpA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMoPuisKdk Sorry for the long URL for that one... also, these eBay URLS are for the USA eBay; I can't remember where you are in the world, but you can shop around for you country's ebay for correct pricings in your currency, and availability for shipping to you in case you did want something like that. These floating frames and mini shell frame gadgets are also on Temu, AliExpress, Shein, etc.
Finally, some people turn a large scallop shell into a dish (or you can use a regular ceramic dish in any shape you'd like) and pile their shells into that to display on their desks/shelves.
I hope this has given you some fun ideas! For me, I will mostly use my shell cabinet; the cabinet is not in the sunlight and it doesn't allow for my air or dust to invade the space, so the shells inside stay looking shiny and protected. Anything else is usually packed away or left in piles somewhere... I'm a bit messy XD Thanks for watching, and I hope I've given you a few good ideas for displaying your shell finds!
@@SandCoffeeRocks Thank you so much this has really helped me !
