The shell shopping 🛒🛒🛒 was fabulous! 🧡💛💚 I love hinged shells. Always so fun to find both halves. I love all the urchins you got to go home with! 🏠 I need to give a shout out to the many scallops, so pretty. It’s so cool that you are finding shells new to you! Wonderful adventures today, thank you Maddie! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 The hinged shells on this adventure were just amazing; I absolutely love those circular tapestry clams, and the finely patterned venues too. The Urchins, my goodness, it was so nice of that lady to give me so many big ones...I could have taken more, but I didn't want to be greedy 😂 she was incredibly nice. Thank you so much for watching this big beach hopping adventure 🥰 it was a big day, but definitely worth seeing all the places up the coast.
Wow Maddie , what an amazing lineup today , so gorgeous ❤ you are a spoilt girl 🤗 so many favs … I loved Propeller Arc with the little hitchhiker The beautiful jewel box attached to it … and the blue colours in the large Hammer Oyster were gorgeous as well . And in your display lol the high rises of Sea Urchins 😂 well … that was good thinking . And I also loved the Circular Tapestry clams ❤❤
G'day Annie 👋🏻💖🏖️ Oh my gosh, thank you so much 🙏🏻 Yes, I really am a little too spoiled sometimes...or maybe it really speaks more about the amazing and lovely people that I meet while making these shelling adventures? The Propeller Arc with a hitchhiker is a cutie; those little jewel boxes like to attach themselves to so many shells around there, though finding a fresh one like today is a bit more challenging. The Hammer Oyster was by himself this time; I wonder if the sand covered up with rest? Same with those Circular Tapestry Clams too. As always, thank you so much for coming along on another big shelling adventure 🤩 It was great to see that Hervey Bay had plenty of shells... The home beaches are being picked over with the school holiday crowds lately! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Sherry 👋🏻🏖️ The Bladder Moon Snails at these beaches are just wonderful, but the favourite from the end display is a particularly nice one 🤩 good choice for the favorite! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Carole 👋🏻🏖️ It's a really lovely one 😲 I with there was an urchin emoji to spam at you 😂 but thankfully, you have saved from that because it doesn't exist yet 😅 Thanks for watching the big adventure 🥰
Hi Maddie, Lots of great seashells Love the big short spined sea urchin, black strange scallop, beautiful jewel box, razor clam, elongated muscle shell. Wow. Thanks and take care. TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 It was a massive day of travel, and I'm just so pleased that it resulted in such a nice shell finding adventure (and information gathering morning). The big urchin is crazy cool; I was told that these big ones washed up shortly after my last trip there (that very windy day). This time, the wind and tides tossed up a lot of sand onto the beach and covered the shells, but there was still a lot of lovely ones to find. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Bearseyeview 👋🏻🐻💖 It's an unusually little one, isn't it!? It seems like a common one in the Indo-Pacific area and beyond (though this is my first time seeing it) some places also call it sea bamboo because of how the live creature has a stalk at the base of the shell...weird looking thing!!! Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 It was a BIIIIG fun adventure; I was surprised to find some new shells! Hmm, the new oyster shell, or the new Lamp Shell with that greeny-blue colour? Or that purple pink new oyster? In any case, I'm glad you liked the new shell 😁 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
G'day Mary 👋🏻🏖️ Oh trust me, I've known how lucky I am from the very first shelling episode 🐚❤️ but true, I'm glad that I explored all of these beaches; you never know where you'll find a hidden gem. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Awesome Video All the shells you found on this video are all of my favourite shells🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
G'day Courtney 👋🏻🐚 Indeed, but I'd certainly hope so after all the beach hopping and hours of shelling 🤩 I'm so lucky that these big drives up the coast have always produced shell finds. Thank you so much for watching the extra long adventure today 🥰
G'day Fayetah 👋🏻🏖️ That bigger sized urchin was a very nice surprise!! I must admit that I do like collecting the small cowries at home (they take up so much less space) but there is also something magical about the larger shells too 🐚 Thank you so much for watching 🥰 Also, I must apologise for all of the times I've misspelled your name and didn't catch it in time 😅 I want to blame autocorrect, but it could have been me having a dumb brain moment. Thank you for all of your lovely comments 🙏🏻
Hello Maddie!😄Always love a Haynes turban. Jewelled dog welk very nice. Nice large scallop. Some very big moon snails. Something nice about a sea urchin. Jabby hurty stabby, is that a technical term?😂 Lovely tapestry clam. Ooooooh that lamp shell so pretty. Really lovely display.❤Thank you . Xxxx
G’day Alison 👋🏻💖 Hahah, yes, “jabby hurty stabby” is the technical term 😂 and well done typing that; my autocorrect had many other things to say!! As for the seashells, it was nice to find a new one with the Lamp Shell, but hmm, I think the big moon snails 🐌 were especially nice. I went back to Hervey Bay today…but no moon snails; there is only sea weed 😱😱😱 this trip was quite lucky to be days before the green incursion. Anyhoo, that’s a “Maddie problem” now 😅 Thanks for watching 🥰
Ohhhhh the black bladder moon snail was fabulous! Fingernail clams are pretty cool! The jeweled dog well was very nice too. The heart urchin I’ve never seen before. Kind of pretty! The black bladder moon snail is my fav!❤
G’day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻❤️ The black bladder moon snail caught your eye this time 😍 it’s always fun to find those moons with the whacky and interesting colours 🐌 I was spoiled with them on this trip! Those heart urchins are crazy…I’ve found a few in the past, but it was at least a year ago by now 🤔 they don’t often wash ashore 😮 Thank you for watching the big shelling adventure 😂
High Maddie 👋 Have seen the last couple of videos too , but I was a bit busy, I will comment when I get a chance 😅 This one was a real expedition 😀 very satisfactory, I guess you didn't need a lullaby 😂 you got very many beautiful and interesting shells , I really don't know what to choose, but for sure unusual and intriguing Lingula anatina , I don't know but it reminds me some sweetwater bivalve, i will search later. The other top valve with radial stripes , looks from a oyster shell. Nice piece, the Chama pulchella on Trisidos tortuosa. Sorry for the Angas bubble shell 😒this was another interesting piece, but you had a mountain of sea urchins and many other beauties 😍 as usual not deceiving at all , every single shell becomes a beauty in your hands ❤ ❤❤❤❤ bye Maddie 👋 thank you so much
G'day Francesco 👋❤ Oh my goodness, I understand!!! I promise I do, so don't feel like you need to comment on everything. Lingula anatina is such an interesting one... the iNaturalist shows it as a very common shell from around a third of the world? All around Asian and Australia,and beyond, but I had never seen it before. The Circe scripta is the bivalve with those lovely red arrow patterns on it - very unusual too, but yess, some of the more usual Chama pulchella on Trisidos tortuosa are just as nice. No worries about the Angas' Bubbles; shells can break pretty easily and I've learned to accept that (and my own clumsiness with them sometimes). I finally found the time to reply back to you, thanks for waiting and thank you so much for watching the big adventure ❤
G'day Christine 👋🏻🐚 Oh, your mum has really great taste in shells 😁 which urchins does she find; the green ones or the white ones...or maybe she finds a different species?? Say hi to your mum again, and thank you both for watching 🥰
G'day Bonnie Julien 👋🏻🏖️ Ahh well, part of me expected that those first few beaches wouldn't have any shells; they don't get the waves to wash them ashore because that entire straight section of water is protected from harsh conditions by that island that I pointed out. I think there is a lot of shells if you took a boat and dived for shells in good collection areas. Anyways, it's no matter because Hervey Bay had plenty to find 🏖️ Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
G'day Natalia 👋🏻💖 Those Propeller Arcs are trying to be sweet swirly seashells, but they don't quite manage it 😅😂 the Heart Urchins are just too adorable, and I'm glad that you liked those scallops and the Strombus too! Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
I really enjoyed your video today Maddie, had a couple cups of coffee and breakfast while watching. Those fragile heart urchins you may want to try using an egg carton with some cotton in it, that might work if you want to spend the time. Awesome haul of shells and urchins.
G’day Jeff 👋🏻🏖️💖 It was a long one, it’s was definitely worth a few coffees 😂 (the next few will be short though, the school holidays are picking a lot of shells off the beach). Ahhh I’m not too worried about those heart urchins… yes, I could wrap them and put them into a container of some kind, but even then they might just dry out and fall apart 🤔 and how would I rinse out the sand and leftover dusts and whatnot out of them later? Or when I put them into a permanent container at home? These things, I think, are made to break down quickly, especially these extra small ones. So again, I’m not too worried about them 😂 Thank you for the advice, but I’m going to pretend that this is a problem that doesn’t need a fix 😉 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Good morning, Maddie Wow, the lamp shell is very nice and new. Love the heart urchins, also the other sea urchins. The moon snails are so lovely. The colors on all of them are beautiful. The scallops are very nice as well. There are so many beautiful shells. Just It is so nice that so many people give you some of their haul. You deserve to be spoiled. I would travel to go shelling if there was a place to go here. There are too many shells to really enjoy every adventure. How far did you travel today? Thank you for another wonderful shelling adventure. Thank you, Maddie. Have a wonderful day.
G’day Toni 👋🏻💖 It’s always so much fun to find a new shell, even one such as odd as the Lamp Shell. I’m glad that you liked those urchins; they really stole the show this time…I should have given a little more screen time to those ones that were shared with me. It was a really nice end to a long day. I travelled quite a bit, probably around 200 - 250 miles in the car? Not sure if that’s right, I’m used to using kilometres. It was a really nice day with perfect weather, so it was the perfect time to explore. Thanks for watching the biiiig adventure 🥰
Hello Maddie! Super fun adventure. I would take beach hopping over bar hopping any day. My favourite shells today were the black strange's scallop, and the commercial scallop half that wasn't flat (colouring was sunset like to me). Super jealous of all ghe sea urchins you took home, especially the huge green one.
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 Phew, it sure was a big day! Haha, you know, I'd also take this over bar hopping; mostly because I think the drinks would be more expensive than driving for a whole day 😂 The scallops were lovely today, the black on and sunset coloured ones 😲 but yes, that big urchin really takes the cake this time! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
What an amazing haul of sea urchins! I love checking out new beaches for good rock picking spots. I’m from Michigan, the mitten shaped state. Love your channel ❤️
G'day Julie 👋🏻🐚 Hello to you in Michigan!! I've never heard it called the mitten shaped state 😂 but then again, I don't know much about Michigan 😉 I wonder how someone would describe the state of Queensland? Maybe a weird pizza slice 🍕🤣? Anyhoo! Thank you so much for watching this big adventure 🥰 and big haul of sea urchins; they sure made for a wonderful trip 🏖️
G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ You know, I did actually see someone selling these once with the name "alien heart urchin" so you're not the only one that thinks that!! Actually, that's what helped me to correctly identify this urchin way back when I found them for the first time! Alien urchin sounds way cooler than heart urchin alien 👽 hehe!! Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
Great video!! The Hammer oyster is so amazing. Mother Nature is a mad scientist ❤ So glad you found a bunch of urchins. 7 beaches in 1 day You go girl So many people appreciate your ⏲ and effort
G’day Donna 👋🏻💖 Mad scientist is exactly how I would describe Mother Nature 😂 it’s so true!! Ahh, this really was a massive day, I think I was quite tired by the end of it (I might have repressed those memories??) but it was so worth it, it was a fun day with nice weather; perfect for exploring! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Sarah 👋🏻🏖️ Oh goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for you 🙏🏻 and I'm glad that this video could offer a much-needed distraction during a tough time. Thank you so much for watching ❤️ and take care.
Strange as it sounds… love the big commercial scallop. Do you carry a little container for your delicates? Love going on your shelling adventures with you. Thank you!
@@peachy3451 G'day Peachy 👋🏻🏖️ Thank you, I'm so pleased that these shelling adventures can put a smile on people's faces 😁 and that's not strange at all, the Commercial Scallop was fantastic this time! I do have a little container for the delicate shells. I don't think it would have mattered with the heart urchins; they will break when they gently bump against each other. The bubble shell really should have been wrapped in some tissue paper I keep in my bag, but it was tiredness and forgetfulness after a long day that ultimate was the cause it it breaking. I'm not too worried about it; some shells are really just too delicate and things like this happen 😉 I'll have to find another one some day? Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Bree 👋🏻💖 Oh yes, plenty of driving, but at least I don't have to do a regular commute to the city like some people do every week day. To get from home to Hervey Bay is like driving from the east coast of Florida to the west coast, time wise. It's worth it for those shells, though!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Gorgeous sea shells. I collected a bunch of Sea Urchins at Malibu Beach in California. I put them in 2 very large antique jars. They display super well.
G'day Brenda 👋🏻🐚 Oh wow, I didn't actually realize that so many urchins washed up in California! I guess they're all over...I wonder if Malibu Beach has an offshore kelp or sea grass forest somewhere that is their habitat? I bet they look amazing in those jars; very decorative! I will need to do something similar for mine ☺️ Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
G'day Aunt Di 👋🏻🏖️ That's not the first time I've heard that 😂 those Stranger's Scallops have a very similar shape to lions paws...but they are like dollar store lions paws 😅 they'll never be quite are large or colourful, but they're still nice in their own way. Thanks for watching the big adventure 🥰
A verryyyy good day of shelling for u Maddie 🎉 Btw,i really love the duration of your video today, I really enjoy it, Wellll, my fav today are: 1st oooffff course the mr.moonsnails, looookkk those shinny swirls thing 2nd is the murex, i think they are awesome 3rd the sea urchin ❤, specially the big one U are so lucky Maddie, i decided to not go to the beach for a while, because i got bad experience from my last adventure 😢 Thanks for a veryyy great video ❤🎉
G’day Nelly 👋🏻💖 It was an excellent day; even though it was so long, it was worth it! I really cannot do many episodes this long this often, but I didn’t want to cut it down this time 😁 but alas, the school holidays are going strong, so the next few adventures will be much shorter. Hehe, I knew those moon snails would be your favourites, but the mutex surprised me as number two 🤩 and of course, I think the big sea urchin was the crowd favourite this time 😁 Oh no Nelly, what happened during the last trip? Did someone give you a hard time for collecting shells? You can’t listen to the haters; most of them just hate to think. Or maybe it was something else. I hope you are safe, and you feel confident in returning to the beach again sometime soon. Thank you so much for watching 💖
@@SandCoffeeRocks aha,i really happy when i checked your video this time longer than usual, but long or short, your video always good and full of informations, I got verbal se*ual abuse😕 A grown up man asked me to go to the corner of beach and asked if i want his money😔 I hope my trauma vanish soooonnnnn Your videos help me so much to heal Maddie ❤🎉
@@nellyjune9828 Ohhhh Nelly, what a disgusting man!!! I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Do men really not know how to behave? What a freak! I'm glad that you had the good sense to get out of there... I wouldn't want to stick around either. Hopefully you will not see him again, but I don't have any advice for what to do if you do see him. Hopefully this is just a one-time unpleasant situation. I'd be traumatized or hesitant to return too. Stay safe and you'll know when you're ready to go shelling again.
@@SandCoffeeRocks yes,he was so freak, disgusting (tht time i even didn't wear 'provocative' clothes) Yes Maddie,tht time i was so lucky,i pretend was on call,then i walked sooo fast out of there, I wish I can go safely to the beach soon
Hi, Maddie I e been meaning to ask and I always forget. Is it more stinky there than your home beach? I don't know why I get that idea, maybe it's all the stuff on the beach. Lots of moon snails today. Nice and shinny. Love the little nutmeg shells. Much different colors than Florida. Love, love, the scallops. That oyster looked so cool hooked to the stone. I don't usually like it either,but that was cool. Wow Maddie that's a lot of beach hopping. Lol I love it, Thank y for sharing that with us. Best kind of urchin, cleaned by nature. Is it the time of year I wonder, the lack of shells? Those little heart urchins are so cute. You found the nursery 😂 Thank you for sharing your special adventures with us. My favorite is the black spondylis shell. Nope wait the Oriental lamp shell. Wow what a cool shell. That's my favorite. 😂 Really a good day shelling. Might have taken awhile but good for you. Have an awesome week.
G'day Roberta 👋❤ Hahaha, hmm, good question!! No, these beaches are not usually any more or less stinky than the usual beach. There are some odors for sure, but they aren't from the shells (unless I sniff the odd stinky strombus, but most shells that i collect are cleaned out). I will say though, the home beach sometimes has a very briny smell from some of the rock pools that are almost always submerged, but get uncovered at the super low 0.0 level low tide. The beaches at Hervey Bay and Burrum Heads are not like this and don't stink, but that second Hervey Bay beach with no shells except those old ones around the fallen trees... yes, it has a whiff... I think it's slightly septic? Probably not the right word, but I don't like the way the water can smell around there. Oh, and if the Hervey Bay beaches are all of that green sea weed show up? Like from last year? Yeah, that's like a literal tonne and miles and miles of rotting plant smell... hate that stuff! Anyhoo! It was worth it to beach hop around and find all of these treasures 😂 the different kinds of urchins and bivalves were the best!! Thank you so much for watching~
Annie!! Thank you so much for this 🙏🏻!!! I've said it too much, but my goodness, I really have no expectations for anything like this; thank you 💖 for being so generous. This was a really big day, so I'm thrilled that people are enjoying this episode, particular because there is more vlog-style scenes in it than I usually do; I mostly just want to focus on the shells. As for some extra thoughts about this trip: those early beaches along the Great Sandy Straight were ones that I'd wanted to explore for a while, but there is almost no information about them online in relation to shells and whatnot. The tipping point was when I searched a few weeks ago for "shells" and "Boonooroo" and it came back with a real estate listing in Boonooroo, with one of the selling points being "white silica sands teeming with sea shells" it literally said this!! Alas, Boonooroo was all dark brown mud beaches with no shells 😅 I recon they mistook the place for Burrum Heads? One of the larger inland town realtors must have had no idea about which place was which in these small coastal areas 🏖️ but it was still a nice day with nice people... That sea urchin lady was incredibly lovely; she gave me half a dozen large urchins, and had dozens more in a plastic bag (like, a a giant single use shopping bags that they used to give you in stores over 5 years ago 😂). She apparently collected them to give away to a local crafter who makes some kind of decorative urchin curtain with them? It sounded amazing! Ok, I've rambled on long enough 🥲 I hope you are well and keeping warm ❤️ Once again Annie, thank you so much 🥰
So many urchins, what a great haul. I had your luck from the other beaches yesterday. I went to Pt Arkwright and found nothing on the beach but managed a few cowries around the rocks. Thanks for sharing!
Morning Danielle 👋🏻🌊 Oh my goodness, that’s quite coincidental; I actually went to Pt Arkwright last week (just for a change, and because Cartwright was a bit picked over) before the low tides got too late in the evening. It’s an interesting beach, and a it’s bit of a workout to move around those rocks, isn’t it?? I’m glad you had some luck with the cowries 🤩 You can get some surprisingly uncommon ones there… It will forever stay in my heart as the place where I found that huge Humpback Cowrie last year. I didn’t find much last week either , though I actually did pretty well with Bonnets there…lots of school holidays kids/families out shelling as well (though more at the rocks at the access rather than around the bend) it’s a surprisingly popular spot, and a nice little place to go for somewhere different. Just you wait until you manage to get up to Dundowran, you’ll love it! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks yes I wasn't expecting much as it was late afternoon and school holidays but there were a couple of cowries including a nice snake head hidden in the rocks. But for the beach, it looks like the tides have taken or hidden the shells along that beach. Previous weeks had way more shells. Yes I do need to make it up to Harvey Bay one weekend there are some bucket list shells i need to find.
Oh wait, the open beach stretch at Pt Arkwright has shells on it too? I just figured it was bare, similar to most of the other open beaches up the coast (Castaways, Mudjimba, Buddina, etc) I'll keep an eye on it next time I'm there. Well done on your lovely Snake-head Cowrie 🤩 it's hard to find a shiny one there with all of the rocks and rough waves 🌊 you must have picked a good day to go!?
@@SandCoffeeRocks yes from Marcoola up to Pt Arkwright has had shells. Lots of teasers (broken would have been beauties) but some nice sunsets scallops (commercial), Venus clams, buttons (bittersweets), arks, angelwings etc. But like most beaches the conditions need to be just so to have shells.
G'day Mikhail 👋🏻🏖️ I was looking into the bandwidth problem that you have for videos (I was hoping to suggest a way to improve it) but no, you're a bit stuck, aren't you? Again, I can only express how sorry I am that things are like this. Thank you for coming by to see the poster (or thumbnail as we call it); it was a last minute decision to use this photo instead of one that encompassed the entire shell display...I think that one looks more interesting 🐚🏖️ and photogenic. Thank you for being here 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 The poster looks great! Yes, from time to time the video goes at normal speed, and sometimes it is very slow, but nothing can be done about it yet😂
G'day Nancy 👋🏻🐚 Ahhh, I do have a little container for shells, but I think the better thing to do for that little bubble shell would have been to wrap it in a tissue and remember to take it out of my bag afterwards 😅 It ended up being a combination of tiredness and forgetfulness after a long day that broke the bubble...it cannot be understated how delicate that bubbles and those urchins are; thinner and more brittle than tissue paper 😲 Anyhoo, it is what it is. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Ok Maddie 👍 Have just found that Lingula anatina belongs to Brachiopods, Lingulidae family Lamarck, 1801. It's Indo-Pacific and find in the Gulf of Mexico too. Bye 👋❤
You are right! I did research this one a little when I found the name for it for this video. Some people consider it a "living fossil" sea shells!! Some people think the name is undeserved or incorrect, but who can really know in the end? It's super cool, and also sometimes called Sea Bamboo... I guess people eat them too! Thanks again for watching~
Ok Maddie 👍 Have found at first attempt, that top striped shell belongs to the family Pteridae (pearl oysters) and seems Electroma ovata ( Quoy & Gaymard, 1832)bye 👋❤️
Ohhh so it is a Pearl Oyster!!??? I am trying to research Electroma ovata but it seems like Conchology's website is not working tonight. Also, there doesn't seem to be any pictures of this exact shell species on the internet, but it is referenced as a Queensland shell. How crazy! Thank you so much for finding this one for me, I truly had no idea!
G'day Nick 👋🏻🐚 Yes indeed, some common names for this family of shells is razor clam or Jack's knife clam 😉 that's why I also put the scientific name on screen, because there can be several different English names for shells depending on a person's naming preference, but only one current scientific name (let's not speak about how often those scientific names change due to overzealous conchologists 😅). Ahhh what was I saying? Yes, a rose by any other name is still a rose 🌹 or a razor clam 🐚 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Halo teman👋🏻🏖️Salam lagi untuk Anda di Indonesia🤩Saya rasa saya sudah mengatakannya sebelumnya, tetapi Anda juga memiliki cangkang yang luar biasa di negara Anda 😀Terima kasih sudah menonton 🥰
G’day Cindy 👋🏻🐚 Ohh, the black collapsible bucket? Long story; it was in one of those car washing bundles that you get a guy for Father’s Day, birthday, Christmas, etc, and it was in there (yes, I got it for dad for Father’s Day some years ago)… it doesn’t hold water too good, and it was sitting at the back of a cupboard for years, so I took it 🤣 I like that it can be reduced in size for when I don’t need it 👍🏻 Thanks for watching the big beach hopping adventure today 🥰
Maddie, do you ever find Arabian cowries and other cowries there. There is a man/boy over there that's pretty much all he finds. They are so beautiful. Yours are very interesting to.
G'day Joyce 👋🏻🐚 Yes, I finds heaps of cowries, though it's been a while since I've found nice empty Arabian Cowries of good quality. Though, I don't find cowries at the beaches around the Fraser Coast (Hervey Bay), I find lots of cowries near home at the Sunshine Coast. Cowries are my favourite shells to collect, so I get pretty excited when I come across some of the better ones that still have shine or gloss on them 😁 be sure to check out some of my other recent shelling adventures to see them 😉 Thanks for watching 🥰
Reply the normal named ones! We will have a game maddie! Easy: Scaeochlamys Livida Natica Vitellus Pecten Fumatus Lunulicardia Hemicardium Vasticardium Vertebratum Anadara Pilula Mactra Antiquata Medium: Neverita Didyma Nassarius Conoidalis Jolya Elongata Atrina Pectinata Moira Lethe Heliocidaris Erythrogramma Hard: Conuber Conicum Tapes Conspersus Circe Scripta Pinna Muricata Lingula Anatina (Maddie! Did you get all of them correct?)
G'day Lemon Queen 👋🏻🍋 Oh my goodness, what a crazy game! I promise I won't cheat because this is fun brain teaser 😲 I think some are easy because I type them from memory, but some are really hard because I copy/paste the names from my spreadsheet 🤣 Let's see: Some tough ones in the easy mix! Scaly Scallop Calf Moon Snail 🐌 Commercial Scallop Hairy Cockle?? Not sure 😆 Orange Cockle Pill Arc? Antiquated Surf Clam Medium: Bladder Moon Snail (too easy 😉) Jewelled Dog Whelk Elongated Mussel Comb-like Razor Clam Heart Urchin Short-spined Sea Urchin (wow, nearly didn't get this one, but wondered why it looked so familiar!!) Hard: Conical Moon Snail 🐌 Finely Patterned Venus Circular Tapestry Clam Bi-colored Pen Shell Ahh??? Not sure on this last one 😅 hmmm, was this the episode with that funky new shell? The Oriental Lamp Clam was maybe it's name?? I think I might need you to tell me if I was right of wrong with it 😂 I feel confident on about 95% of them 👍🏻 I have to put all the names on screen after all, so I look at the daily often except for the shells I don't see regularly. Also, I just want to say thank you, this was a fun little game 😲 name a game for you!! Can you tell me the scientific name of your favourite shell every? It doesn't have to be from the shelling videos 😉 and thank you so much for watching 🥰

The shell shopping 🛒🛒🛒 was fabulous! 🧡💛💚 I love hinged shells. Always so fun to find both halves. I love all the urchins you got to go home with! 🏠 I need to give a shout out to the many scallops, so pretty. It’s so cool that you are finding shells new to you! Wonderful adventures today, thank you Maddie! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 The hinged shells on this adventure were just amazing; I absolutely love those circular tapestry clams, and the finely patterned venues too. The Urchins, my goodness, it was so nice of that lady to give me so many big ones...I could have taken more, but I didn't want to be greedy 😂 she was incredibly nice. Thank you so much for watching this big beach hopping adventure 🥰 it was a big day, but definitely worth seeing all the places up the coast.
Wow Maddie , what an amazing lineup today , so gorgeous ❤ you are a spoilt girl 🤗 so many favs … I loved Propeller Arc with the little hitchhiker The beautiful jewel box attached to it … and the blue colours in the large Hammer Oyster were gorgeous as well . And in your display lol the high rises of Sea Urchins 😂 well … that was good thinking . And I also loved the Circular Tapestry clams ❤❤
G'day Annie 👋🏻💖🏖️ Oh my gosh, thank you so much 🙏🏻 Yes, I really am a little too spoiled sometimes...or maybe it really speaks more about the amazing and lovely people that I meet while making these shelling adventures? The Propeller Arc with a hitchhiker is a cutie; those little jewel boxes like to attach themselves to so many shells around there, though finding a fresh one like today is a bit more challenging. The Hammer Oyster was by himself this time; I wonder if the sand covered up with rest? Same with those Circular Tapestry Clams too. As always, thank you so much for coming along on another big shelling adventure 🤩 It was great to see that Hervey Bay had plenty of shells... The home beaches are being picked over with the school holiday crowds lately! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
That Moon Snail isis fantastic with all its colors!!
G'day Sherry 👋🏻🏖️ The Bladder Moon Snails at these beaches are just wonderful, but the favourite from the end display is a particularly nice one 🤩 good choice for the favorite! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
My favorite today is the beautiful dark green urchin!
G'day Carole 👋🏻🏖️ It's a really lovely one 😲 I with there was an urchin emoji to spam at you 😂 but thankfully, you have saved from that because it doesn't exist yet 😅 Thanks for watching the big adventure 🥰
Hi Maddie, Lots of great seashells
Love the big short spined sea urchin, black strange scallop, beautiful jewel box, razor clam, elongated muscle shell. Wow. Thanks and take care. TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 It was a massive day of travel, and I'm just so pleased that it resulted in such a nice shell finding adventure (and information gathering morning). The big urchin is crazy cool; I was told that these big ones washed up shortly after my last trip there (that very windy day). This time, the wind and tides tossed up a lot of sand onto the beach and covered the shells, but there was still a lot of lovely ones to find. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Just love the little lantern shell!
G'day Bearseyeview 👋🏻🐻💖 It's an unusually little one, isn't it!? It seems like a common one in the Indo-Pacific area and beyond (though this is my first time seeing it) some places also call it sea bamboo because of how the live creature has a stalk at the base of the shell...weird looking thing!!! Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
Maddie loved this video. My favorite is the new oyster shell. The green color is amazing.
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 It was a BIIIIG fun adventure; I was surprised to find some new shells! Hmm, the new oyster shell, or the new Lamp Shell with that greeny-blue colour? Or that purple pink new oyster? In any case, I'm glad you liked the new shell 😁 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
Hey Maddie! Glad you explored those shell beaches today! Now you know how very lucky you are🐚
G'day Mary 👋🏻🏖️ Oh trust me, I've known how lucky I am from the very first shelling episode 🐚❤️ but true, I'm glad that I explored all of these beaches; you never know where you'll find a hidden gem. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Beautiful shells 🐚 😍
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 Oh yes, it was a wonderful day 🤩 Thanks for watching 🥰
Awesome Video All the shells you found on this video are all of my favourite shells🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
G'day Richard 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my goodness, you are always too sweet 💝 Thank you so much for coming along to enjoy another big shelling adventure 🥰
What a great haul!!! 🐚🐚🐚
G'day Courtney 👋🏻🐚 Indeed, but I'd certainly hope so after all the beach hopping and hours of shelling 🤩 I'm so lucky that these big drives up the coast have always produced shell finds. Thank you so much for watching the extra long adventure today 🥰
G'day! Hey, you really got great finds 🐚today and look 👀at those sizes!!!!
G'day Fayetah 👋🏻🏖️ That bigger sized urchin was a very nice surprise!! I must admit that I do like collecting the small cowries at home (they take up so much less space) but there is also something magical about the larger shells too 🐚 Thank you so much for watching 🥰 Also, I must apologise for all of the times I've misspelled your name and didn't catch it in time 😅 I want to blame autocorrect, but it could have been me having a dumb brain moment. Thank you for all of your lovely comments 🙏🏻
Hello Maddie!😄Always love a Haynes turban. Jewelled dog welk very nice.
Nice large scallop.
Some very big moon snails.
Something nice about a sea urchin.
Jabby hurty stabby, is that a technical term?😂
Lovely tapestry clam.
Ooooooh that lamp shell so pretty.
Really lovely display.❤Thank you . Xxxx
G’day Alison 👋🏻💖 Hahah, yes, “jabby hurty stabby” is the technical term 😂 and well done typing that; my autocorrect had many other things to say!! As for the seashells, it was nice to find a new one with the Lamp Shell, but hmm, I think the big moon snails 🐌 were especially nice. I went back to Hervey Bay today…but no moon snails; there is only sea weed 😱😱😱 this trip was quite lucky to be days before the green incursion. Anyhoo, that’s a “Maddie problem” now 😅 Thanks for watching 🥰
Ohhhhh the black bladder moon snail was fabulous! Fingernail clams are pretty cool! The jeweled dog well was very nice too. The heart urchin I’ve never seen before. Kind of pretty! The black bladder moon snail is my fav!❤
G’day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻❤️ The black bladder moon snail caught your eye this time 😍 it’s always fun to find those moons with the whacky and interesting colours 🐌 I was spoiled with them on this trip! Those heart urchins are crazy…I’ve found a few in the past, but it was at least a year ago by now 🤔 they don’t often wash ashore 😮 Thank you for watching the big shelling adventure 😂
High Maddie 👋
Have seen the last couple of videos too , but I was a bit busy, I will comment when I get a chance 😅 This one was a real expedition 😀 very satisfactory, I guess you didn't need a lullaby 😂 you got very many beautiful and interesting shells , I really don't know what to choose, but for sure unusual and intriguing Lingula anatina , I don't know but it reminds me some sweetwater bivalve, i will search later. The other top valve with radial stripes , looks from a oyster shell. Nice piece, the Chama pulchella on Trisidos tortuosa. Sorry for the Angas bubble shell 😒this was another interesting piece, but you had a mountain of sea urchins and many other beauties 😍 as usual not deceiving at all , every single shell becomes a beauty in your hands ❤ ❤❤❤❤ bye Maddie 👋 thank you so much
G'day Francesco 👋❤ Oh my goodness, I understand!!! I promise I do, so don't feel like you need to comment on everything. Lingula anatina is such an interesting one... the iNaturalist shows it as a very common shell from around a third of the world? All around Asian and Australia,and beyond, but I had never seen it before. The Circe scripta is the bivalve with those lovely red arrow patterns on it - very unusual too, but yess, some of the more usual Chama pulchella on Trisidos tortuosa are just as nice. No worries about the Angas' Bubbles; shells can break pretty easily and I've learned to accept that (and my own clumsiness with them sometimes). I finally found the time to reply back to you, thanks for waiting and thank you so much for watching the big adventure ❤
My mom loves collecting those urchins we have a beach that we would go every weekend too and thats where those urchins are 💜💜
G'day Christine 👋🏻🐚 Oh, your mum has really great taste in shells 😁 which urchins does she find; the green ones or the white ones...or maybe she finds a different species?? Say hi to your mum again, and thank you both for watching 🥰
Beautiful beaches too bad they weren’t loaded shells, the shells you did find were awesome and made a beautiful arrangement ❤
G'day Bonnie Julien 👋🏻🏖️ Ahh well, part of me expected that those first few beaches wouldn't have any shells; they don't get the waves to wash them ashore because that entire straight section of water is protected from harsh conditions by that island that I pointed out. I think there is a lot of shells if you took a boat and dived for shells in good collection areas. Anyways, it's no matter because Hervey Bay had plenty to find 🏖️ Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
I like the strombus, the heart urchin, I love scallops. The propeller arcs are very interesting.
G'day Natalia 👋🏻💖 Those Propeller Arcs are trying to be sweet swirly seashells, but they don't quite manage it 😅😂 the Heart Urchins are just too adorable, and I'm glad that you liked those scallops and the Strombus too! Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
I really enjoyed your video today Maddie, had a couple cups of coffee and breakfast while watching. Those fragile heart urchins you may want to try using an egg carton with some cotton in it, that might work if you want to spend the time. Awesome haul of shells and urchins.
G’day Jeff 👋🏻🏖️💖 It was a long one, it’s was definitely worth a few coffees 😂 (the next few will be short though, the school holidays are picking a lot of shells off the beach). Ahhh I’m not too worried about those heart urchins… yes, I could wrap them and put them into a container of some kind, but even then they might just dry out and fall apart 🤔 and how would I rinse out the sand and leftover dusts and whatnot out of them later? Or when I put them into a permanent container at home? These things, I think, are made to break down quickly, especially these extra small ones. So again, I’m not too worried about them 😂 Thank you for the advice, but I’m going to pretend that this is a problem that doesn’t need a fix 😉 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Good morning, Maddie
Wow, the lamp shell is very nice and new. Love the heart urchins, also the other sea urchins. The moon snails are so lovely. The colors on all of them are beautiful. The scallops are very nice as well. There are so many beautiful shells. Just It is so nice that so many people give you some of their haul. You deserve to be spoiled. I would travel to go shelling if there was a place to go here. There are too many shells to really enjoy every adventure. How far did you travel today? Thank you for another wonderful shelling adventure. Thank you, Maddie. Have a wonderful day.
G’day Toni 👋🏻💖 It’s always so much fun to find a new shell, even one such as odd as the Lamp Shell. I’m glad that you liked those urchins; they really stole the show this time…I should have given a little more screen time to those ones that were shared with me. It was a really nice end to a long day. I travelled quite a bit, probably around 200 - 250 miles in the car? Not sure if that’s right, I’m used to using kilometres. It was a really nice day with perfect weather, so it was the perfect time to explore. Thanks for watching the biiiig adventure 🥰
Hello Maddie! Super fun adventure. I would take beach hopping over bar hopping any day. My favourite shells today were the black strange's scallop, and the commercial scallop half that wasn't flat (colouring was sunset like to me). Super jealous of all ghe sea urchins you took home, especially the huge green one.
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 Phew, it sure was a big day! Haha, you know, I'd also take this over bar hopping; mostly because I think the drinks would be more expensive than driving for a whole day 😂 The scallops were lovely today, the black on and sunset coloured ones 😲 but yes, that big urchin really takes the cake this time! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
What an amazing haul of sea urchins! I love checking out new beaches for good rock picking spots. I’m from Michigan, the mitten shaped state. Love your channel ❤️
G'day Julie 👋🏻🐚 Hello to you in Michigan!! I've never heard it called the mitten shaped state 😂 but then again, I don't know much about Michigan 😉 I wonder how someone would describe the state of Queensland? Maybe a weird pizza slice 🍕🤣? Anyhoo! Thank you so much for watching this big adventure 🥰 and big haul of sea urchins; they sure made for a wonderful trip 🏖️
the heart urchin looks like an alien skull...ooh there's a cool story in there somewhere
G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ You know, I did actually see someone selling these once with the name "alien heart urchin" so you're not the only one that thinks that!! Actually, that's what helped me to correctly identify this urchin way back when I found them for the first time! Alien urchin sounds way cooler than heart urchin alien 👽 hehe!! Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
Great video!! The Hammer oyster is so amazing. Mother Nature is a mad scientist ❤ So glad you found a bunch of urchins.
7 beaches in 1 day You go girl So many people appreciate your ⏲ and effort
G’day Donna 👋🏻💖 Mad scientist is exactly how I would describe Mother Nature 😂 it’s so true!! Ahh, this really was a massive day, I think I was quite tired by the end of it (I might have repressed those memories??) but it was so worth it, it was a fun day with nice weather; perfect for exploring! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
You know today I was really sad but you made me forget a little. I hope you live happily.❤
Hi Sarah 👋🏻🏖️ Oh goodness, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for you 🙏🏻 and I'm glad that this video could offer a much-needed distraction during a tough time. Thank you so much for watching ❤️ and take care.
@@SandCoffeeRocks thanks ♥️
Strange as it sounds… love the big commercial scallop. Do you carry a little container for your delicates? Love going on your shelling adventures with you. Thank you!
@@peachy3451 G'day Peachy 👋🏻🏖️ Thank you, I'm so pleased that these shelling adventures can put a smile on people's faces 😁 and that's not strange at all, the Commercial Scallop was fantastic this time! I do have a little container for the delicate shells. I don't think it would have mattered with the heart urchins; they will break when they gently bump against each other. The bubble shell really should have been wrapped in some tissue paper I keep in my bag, but it was tiredness and forgetfulness after a long day that ultimate was the cause it it breaking. I'm not too worried about it; some shells are really just too delicate and things like this happen 😉 I'll have to find another one some day? Thank you so much for watching 🥰
You must do a lot of driving to go between all the shell beaches …..some great finds today
G'day Bree 👋🏻💖 Oh yes, plenty of driving, but at least I don't have to do a regular commute to the city like some people do every week day. To get from home to Hervey Bay is like driving from the east coast of Florida to the west coast, time wise. It's worth it for those shells, though!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Gorgeous sea shells. I collected a bunch of Sea Urchins at Malibu Beach in California. I put them in 2 very large antique jars. They display super well.
G'day Brenda 👋🏻🐚 Oh wow, I didn't actually realize that so many urchins washed up in California! I guess they're all over...I wonder if Malibu Beach has an offshore kelp or sea grass forest somewhere that is their habitat? I bet they look amazing in those jars; very decorative! I will need to do something similar for mine ☺️ Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
The strangers scallop reminds me of a lions paw found in Florida. I have searched high and low and haven’t found one yet. Love from Ohio💞💞💞💞
G'day Aunt Di 👋🏻🏖️ That's not the first time I've heard that 😂 those Stranger's Scallops have a very similar shape to lions paws...but they are like dollar store lions paws 😅 they'll never be quite are large or colourful, but they're still nice in their own way. Thanks for watching the big adventure 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks 😂😂😂 @ dollar store lion paws! Perfect description!!!
很美的贝壳 👍
你好朱枝👋🏻🏖️非常感谢你的好话🤩我很高兴你喜欢今天的贝壳😀感谢观看🥰
A verryyyy good day of shelling for u Maddie 🎉
Btw,i really love the duration of your video today,
I really enjoy it,
Wellll, my fav today are:
1st oooffff course the mr.moonsnails, looookkk those shinny swirls thing
2nd is the murex, i think they are awesome
3rd the sea urchin ❤, specially the big one
U are so lucky Maddie, i decided to not go to the beach for a while, because i got bad experience from my last adventure 😢
Thanks for a veryyy great video ❤🎉
G’day Nelly 👋🏻💖 It was an excellent day; even though it was so long, it was worth it! I really cannot do many episodes this long this often, but I didn’t want to cut it down this time 😁 but alas, the school holidays are going strong, so the next few adventures will be much shorter. Hehe, I knew those moon snails would be your favourites, but the mutex surprised me as number two 🤩 and of course, I think the big sea urchin was the crowd favourite this time 😁 Oh no Nelly, what happened during the last trip? Did someone give you a hard time for collecting shells? You can’t listen to the haters; most of them just hate to think. Or maybe it was something else. I hope you are safe, and you feel confident in returning to the beach again sometime soon. Thank you so much for watching 💖
@@SandCoffeeRocks aha,i really happy when i checked your video this time longer than usual, but long or short, your video always good and full of informations,
I got verbal se*ual abuse😕
A grown up man asked me to go to the corner of beach and asked if i want his money😔
I hope my trauma vanish soooonnnnn
Your videos help me so much to heal Maddie ❤🎉
@@nellyjune9828 Ohhhh Nelly, what a disgusting man!!! I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Do men really not know how to behave? What a freak! I'm glad that you had the good sense to get out of there... I wouldn't want to stick around either. Hopefully you will not see him again, but I don't have any advice for what to do if you do see him. Hopefully this is just a one-time unpleasant situation. I'd be traumatized or hesitant to return too. Stay safe and you'll know when you're ready to go shelling again.
@@SandCoffeeRocks yes,he was so freak, disgusting (tht time i even didn't wear 'provocative' clothes)
Yes Maddie,tht time i was so lucky,i pretend was on call,then i walked sooo fast out of there,
I wish I can go safely to the beach soon
Hi, Maddie
I e been meaning to ask and I always forget. Is it more stinky there than your home beach? I don't know why I get that idea, maybe it's all the stuff on the beach. Lots of moon snails today. Nice and shinny. Love the little nutmeg shells. Much different colors than Florida. Love, love, the scallops. That oyster looked so cool hooked to the stone. I don't usually like it either,but that was cool. Wow Maddie that's a lot of beach hopping. Lol I love it, Thank y for sharing that with us. Best kind of urchin, cleaned by nature. Is it the time of year I wonder, the lack of shells? Those little heart urchins are so cute. You found the nursery 😂
Thank you for sharing your special adventures with us. My favorite is the black spondylis shell. Nope wait the Oriental lamp shell. Wow what a cool shell. That's my favorite. 😂 Really a good day shelling. Might have taken awhile but good for you. Have an awesome week.
G'day Roberta 👋❤ Hahaha, hmm, good question!! No, these beaches are not usually any more or less stinky than the usual beach. There are some odors for sure, but they aren't from the shells (unless I sniff the odd stinky strombus, but most shells that i collect are cleaned out). I will say though, the home beach sometimes has a very briny smell from some of the rock pools that are almost always submerged, but get uncovered at the super low 0.0 level low tide. The beaches at Hervey Bay and Burrum Heads are not like this and don't stink, but that second Hervey Bay beach with no shells except those old ones around the fallen trees... yes, it has a whiff... I think it's slightly septic? Probably not the right word, but I don't like the way the water can smell around there. Oh, and if the Hervey Bay beaches are all of that green sea weed show up? Like from last year? Yeah, that's like a literal tonne and miles and miles of rotting plant smell... hate that stuff! Anyhoo! It was worth it to beach hop around and find all of these treasures 😂 the different kinds of urchins and bivalves were the best!! Thank you so much for watching~
Thanks
Annie!! Thank you so much for this 🙏🏻!!! I've said it too much, but my goodness, I really have no expectations for anything like this; thank you 💖 for being so generous. This was a really big day, so I'm thrilled that people are enjoying this episode, particular because there is more vlog-style scenes in it than I usually do; I mostly just want to focus on the shells. As for some extra thoughts about this trip: those early beaches along the Great Sandy Straight were ones that I'd wanted to explore for a while, but there is almost no information about them online in relation to shells and whatnot. The tipping point was when I searched a few weeks ago for "shells" and "Boonooroo" and it came back with a real estate listing in Boonooroo, with one of the selling points being "white silica sands teeming with sea shells" it literally said this!! Alas, Boonooroo was all dark brown mud beaches with no shells 😅 I recon they mistook the place for Burrum Heads? One of the larger inland town realtors must have had no idea about which place was which in these small coastal areas 🏖️ but it was still a nice day with nice people... That sea urchin lady was incredibly lovely; she gave me half a dozen large urchins, and had dozens more in a plastic bag (like, a a giant single use shopping bags that they used to give you in stores over 5 years ago 😂). She apparently collected them to give away to a local crafter who makes some kind of decorative urchin curtain with them? It sounded amazing! Ok, I've rambled on long enough 🥲 I hope you are well and keeping warm ❤️ Once again Annie, thank you so much 🥰
So many urchins, what a great haul. I had your luck from the other beaches yesterday. I went to Pt Arkwright and found nothing on the beach but managed a few cowries around the rocks. Thanks for sharing!
Morning Danielle 👋🏻🌊 Oh my goodness, that’s quite coincidental; I actually went to Pt Arkwright last week (just for a change, and because Cartwright was a bit picked over) before the low tides got too late in the evening. It’s an interesting beach, and a it’s bit of a workout to move around those rocks, isn’t it?? I’m glad you had some luck with the cowries 🤩 You can get some surprisingly uncommon ones there… It will forever stay in my heart as the place where I found that huge Humpback Cowrie last year. I didn’t find much last week either , though I actually did pretty well with Bonnets there…lots of school holidays kids/families out shelling as well (though more at the rocks at the access rather than around the bend) it’s a surprisingly popular spot, and a nice little place to go for somewhere different. Just you wait until you manage to get up to Dundowran, you’ll love it! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks yes I wasn't expecting much as it was late afternoon and school holidays but there were a couple of cowries including a nice snake head hidden in the rocks. But for the beach, it looks like the tides have taken or hidden the shells along that beach. Previous weeks had way more shells. Yes I do need to make it up to Harvey Bay one weekend there are some bucket list shells i need to find.
Oh wait, the open beach stretch at Pt Arkwright has shells on it too? I just figured it was bare, similar to most of the other open beaches up the coast (Castaways, Mudjimba, Buddina, etc) I'll keep an eye on it next time I'm there. Well done on your lovely Snake-head Cowrie 🤩 it's hard to find a shiny one there with all of the rocks and rough waves 🌊 you must have picked a good day to go!?
@@SandCoffeeRocks yes from Marcoola up to Pt Arkwright has had shells. Lots of teasers (broken would have been beauties) but some nice sunsets scallops (commercial), Venus clams, buttons (bittersweets), arks, angelwings etc. But like most beaches the conditions need to be just so to have shells.
@@Danstarla Ahhh fair enough 🤔 Thanks for the info!
G'day Maddie 😊👋I saw Hammer Oyster on the cover of this video - a cool sink👍 (the posters are displayed normally, but all the videos are slow😂)
G'day Mikhail 👋🏻🏖️ I was looking into the bandwidth problem that you have for videos (I was hoping to suggest a way to improve it) but no, you're a bit stuck, aren't you? Again, I can only express how sorry I am that things are like this. Thank you for coming by to see the poster (or thumbnail as we call it); it was a last minute decision to use this photo instead of one that encompassed the entire shell display...I think that one looks more interesting 🐚🏖️ and photogenic. Thank you for being here 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 The poster looks great! Yes, from time to time the video goes at normal speed, and sometimes it is very slow, but nothing can be done about it yet😂
Take a delicates container for the easily broken shells. It helps protect them.
G'day Nancy 👋🏻🐚 Ahhh, I do have a little container for shells, but I think the better thing to do for that little bubble shell would have been to wrap it in a tissue and remember to take it out of my bag afterwards 😅 It ended up being a combination of tiredness and forgetfulness after a long day that broke the bubble...it cannot be understated how delicate that bubbles and those urchins are; thinner and more brittle than tissue paper 😲 Anyhoo, it is what it is. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Ok Maddie 👍
Have just found that Lingula anatina belongs to Brachiopods, Lingulidae family
Lamarck, 1801. It's Indo-Pacific and find in the Gulf of Mexico too. Bye 👋❤
You are right! I did research this one a little when I found the name for it for this video. Some people consider it a "living fossil" sea shells!! Some people think the name is undeserved or incorrect, but who can really know in the end? It's super cool, and also sometimes called Sea Bamboo... I guess people eat them too! Thanks again for watching~
Ok Maddie 👍
Have found at first attempt, that top striped shell belongs to the family Pteridae (pearl oysters) and seems Electroma ovata ( Quoy & Gaymard, 1832)bye 👋❤️
Ohhh so it is a Pearl Oyster!!??? I am trying to research Electroma ovata but it seems like Conchology's website is not working tonight. Also, there doesn't seem to be any pictures of this exact shell species on the internet, but it is referenced as a Queensland shell. How crazy! Thank you so much for finding this one for me, I truly had no idea!
@@SandCoffeeRocks ❤️
Finger nail clams.... Lol
I know them as razor clams
G'day Nick 👋🏻🐚 Yes indeed, some common names for this family of shells is razor clam or Jack's knife clam 😉 that's why I also put the scientific name on screen, because there can be several different English names for shells depending on a person's naming preference, but only one current scientific name (let's not speak about how often those scientific names change due to overzealous conchologists 😅). Ahhh what was I saying? Yes, a rose by any other name is still a rose 🌹 or a razor clam 🐚 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Halo teman
Aku dari indonesia hadir lagi di chanel anda..❤
Halo teman👋🏻🏖️Salam lagi untuk Anda di Indonesia🤩Saya rasa saya sudah mengatakannya sebelumnya, tetapi Anda juga memiliki cangkang yang luar biasa di negara Anda 😀Terima kasih sudah menonton 🥰
Where did you get you blue bucket
G’day Cindy 👋🏻🐚 Ohh, the black collapsible bucket? Long story; it was in one of those car washing bundles that you get a guy for Father’s Day, birthday, Christmas, etc, and it was in there (yes, I got it for dad for Father’s Day some years ago)… it doesn’t hold water too good, and it was sitting at the back of a cupboard for years, so I took it 🤣 I like that it can be reduced in size for when I don’t need it 👍🏻 Thanks for watching the big beach hopping adventure today 🥰
Maddie, do you ever find Arabian cowries and other cowries there. There is a man/boy over there that's pretty much all he finds. They are so beautiful. Yours are very interesting to.
G'day Joyce 👋🏻🐚 Yes, I finds heaps of cowries, though it's been a while since I've found nice empty Arabian Cowries of good quality. Though, I don't find cowries at the beaches around the Fraser Coast (Hervey Bay), I find lots of cowries near home at the Sunshine Coast. Cowries are my favourite shells to collect, so I get pretty excited when I come across some of the better ones that still have shine or gloss on them 😁 be sure to check out some of my other recent shelling adventures to see them 😉 Thanks for watching 🥰
