High Maddie 👋 First of all, thank you so much for your punctual and accurate answers 👏👏👏❤️ you are so sweet 😍 be cool with it , I only 🤞 becoming addicted to such beauty , can't imagine better show of life . 👍🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤ Interesting two species Pteria ❤ also the bird Cardita, cowries are fantastic still wet just a different brillance 🤩 nice blue periwinkle 🤩 the Vexillum cadaverosum reminds me Zanzibar 😊 I find many of it . Very intriguing those two Pteria ❤ and beautiful yellow toothed cowries ❤ thanks Maddie 👋 ❤❤❤❤❤
G'day Francesco 👋🏻🏖️❤️ Thank you for your understanding words 🙏🏻 and, hehee, I know; the shells are incredibly beautiful and collectable, aren't they?!! For the Pteria shells this time, they are very hard to research...I think these shells have a lot of variety, and most people do not publish reputable, widespread, or knowledgeable documentations about the different Australian species of Pearl Oysters...I think they are a shell family that doesn't get much attention...but I also don't give them much attention, so I am being a bit of a hypocrite right now 😂 but it means that I don't have a guide to help with their correct names, but I don't mind too much 😅 the catditas and cowries are much more interesting to me! Oh my goodness, the Vexillum cadaverosum can be found on Zanzibar!! How amazing that this shell is so widespread 😲 I had no idea!! Once again Francesco, thank you so much for watching, and for sharing your knowledge with me 🥰
Hi 👋🏼 Maddie 😊 3:27 A favorite today & very nice Wandering Cowry 😍 Those Purple Barnacles are really nice 😊 The Blue Periwinkle is another favorite 🤩 10:55 Very nice Eroded Cowry! 😮 The Grape Cowry is a nice find too! Last but not least, the Cat Cowrie is a STUNNER!! Thank you Maddie for sharing your love for beach combing!! TTFN 👋🏼 ❤
G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 Oh this was a fun little trip! That Wandering Cowrie was such a nice glassy one, same with the Cat Cowrie and Eroded Cowrie! Ohhh that;s right, you rather like those little Blue Periwinkles too; I think I showed some live ones on the rocks just before the shell display; there here by the thousands! Thank you so much for watching this microshelling adventure 🥰
Good morning,Maddie Wow, the cowries are lovely as well as the periwinkles, the thick edged cowrie was beautiful, telescope dove shell. The bird carditas were so colorful. The cone shells are so nice. Love the mini sand dollars. Wow, the waves were good sizes. Thank you for another wonderful shelling adventure. I enjoy your videos so very much. Thank you for sharing with everyone. Have a wonderful day, Maddie See you soon.
G'day Toni~ Ohhh this was an exciting adventure because of all of those lovely cowries... actually, the shelling has been very good here for them lately! I'm glad you liked the cute little periwinkles as well. These microshelling days are wonderful for all of the different shell varieties; and there are plenty of the usual favourite finds as well. Thank you so, so much for watching, and have a wonderful weekend
Hi Maddie …. Love love the bird carditas , and the cat cowrie with its very rich colour tones ….. and all the shinies lol love them all ….. have fun fun under the sun Maddie 😎😎🐚🐚🪸🪸
G’day Annie 👋🏻🐚💖 The Bird Carditas have been amazing lately 🤩 I wonder what has caused so many to wash up like this; even live ones have appeared which I don’t usually see 😮 and the cowries have even bountiful on my trip to the beach today as well… spring has sprung for empty shell collecting!! As always, thank you so much for watching 🙏🏻 and take care as well 🥰
G’day Brian 👋🏻🏖️ I’m so glad you liked those little pebble urchins; they’re super cool!! The scallops stood out too, but I think maybe we both like the cowries the best? 😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Another great adventure ! The bird carditas were pretty, it's lovely to see so many colors . The pearl oysters were lovely because of the brightness of the colors. Today, I will join you with the cowrie as the favorite one. Keep bringing such fun to your audience !
G'day Lucy 👋🏻💖 The Bird Carditas have been washing up like crazy lately; I've been able to pick and choose the most colourful ones 🤩 Same with the Pearl Oysters, though I usually walk past them 😅 I should show more in the videos! The Cowries were amazing this time...maybe the beach was a little less picked over than usual this time 🏖️ lucky me! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie! I loved the pearl oysters. 🦪🦪🦪 And the bird carditas were spectacular. My favorite today was the juvenile thick edged cowrie!!! 💗💗💗 such pretty coloring. I keep forgetting to tell you how much I like periwinkle shells. I’m constantly on the lookout 👀 for them at Holly Beach. They are really plain compared to the varieties you find. Thanks for the video! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 I don't show those Pearl Oysters often, do I 😲? Maybe I only show the ones that are really eye catching 👀?? Oh wow, but the favourite this time was the juvenile Thick-edged Cowrie...it sure is amazing to see them at this growth stages 😲 and the periwinkles stood out too...are they a rarer shell at Holly Beach? The periwinkles like the rocks here at the point, but at Hervey Bay, the other species of periwinkles like the mangroves 🤔 maybe you will need to look into which periwinkles can be found at Holly Beach, and then trace them back to their environment to find the most bountiful selection of them? That's never a guarantee to find them, as we both know 😉 Thank you so much for watching 🥰 and yes, I'm slow on messages and have read several lovely ones from you over the last few days ❤️ Thank you again for them! I'm working my way from the bottom up, so you'll get some more messages from me a little later 😳
G'day Donna 👋🏻💖 It's not usually do dangerous on that spot 😅 the low tide was just especially high this day... It was a lot of fun though! It was definitely an untapped spot after a few days of it not being easy to access. The day felt pretty nice ☺️ I could try to describe it? The water was pleasantly cool but not cold, the sun was very warm, but not hot because of the nice breeze and cool water. The shell grit felt like tossing handfuls of gravel, but not as heavy. And of course, the concentration of trying to do that while filming and watching out for the waves was exciting 😂 Hope that paints a clear picture of the day!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 I wasn't expecting that fourth (fifth??) Bird Cardita to be alive 😲 I thought it was a little stuck to the rock pool when I picked it up, but wow, I didn't expect that. Really cool to see 😎 Oh and you liked the baby Caurica too?? It's a cutie, and not one that I get to show very often 😲 Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi, Jan here, during my last night before heading back to land-locked Austria. Australia is wonderful! I think this time what struck me most was all the color variation you found. The blue periwinkles, the purple barnacles, the reds, pinks and oranges of the carditas and pheasant shells, the beautiful lace coral...I could go on and on! You were quite brave out in the splash zone! As always, I love the cowries and cones. Thanks so much for filming!
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 I am late your your comments again 😭 this was from your last night on Australia 🦘 I hope your trip was a thoroughly memorable one 😁 and time spent with family was well worth it too! Again, I'm thrilled that you liked the shells and variety of colours at the beaches here 🐚 and I'm even more relieved that you navigated these places safely while staying here 🏖️ Thank you so much for checking out Queensland and beyond, and have a comfortable trip home. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on the middle of organizing and commuting your return trip Austria 🥰
G'day Aussie Dirt Digger 👋🏻🪙💖 Hehe, yep, I slipped in the Blotched Nerite: everyone's favourite shell 😅😂 but those cowries were the real cuties today 🤩 Oh, and the coral too, it was nice to find so many small pieces of the Pink Lace Coral in particular! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie! I really like the pearly part of the pearl oysters and the adorableness of those pebble urchins. My favourite shells today though are the cat cowrie, and baby thick edge cowrie.
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 Those Pearl Oysters have a wonderful shine one then, that's for sure 😀 only some of them have the lovely bright colours on the outside...it's maybe why I don't collect and show them more often 😅 Oh and you liked the Pebble Urchins too 🤩 I could pick them up all day!! The cowries were just adorable this time too, I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them. Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
G’day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻🪸💖 Wait wait wait, I’m sure you’ve seen a Pheasant Shell before 🤔 I put them around my shells displays in half of my videos 😂 ohh or do you maybe mean that cool black Pheasant Shell? They’re not very common with that colour! Wow, and the cracked Yellow-toothed Cowrie gets a mention too 🤩 it was lovely with that dark colour on it as well! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Nice shells today Maddie, enjoyed your video with my coffee (Folgers) Jamaican blue mountain is my favorite coffee but it's a little $$. I really like the cowries that you find, just beautiful. Keep up the great work.
G'day Jeff 👋🏻☕❤️ Ohhh that's fancy stuff!! I mean, I've never heard of Folgers (seems like a US brand) but the internet says it's a good cup of coffee 🤩 I have heard of Jamaican blue mountain... I'll be honest with you, I don't think I've ever been lucky enough to drink something like that 😂 but you make me want to try it as the next Jamaica Blue franchise that I see...I wonder if there's still one at the shopping center here? PS, no Starbucks here: Australians didn't like the taste 😅 pretty much ran the brand out of the entire continent! Ahhh, this isn't seashell talk 🤣 I'm glad you liked the cowries this time! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Beautiful! Love all the littles this adventure 😍🐚 Those pearl and wing oysters glow so red under a black light-I was quite surprised when I discover that last week! Cute mini haul ❤
G'day Roxann 👋🏻🏖️ I saw your amazing video of the pearl and wing oysters under black light... AMAZING! I've never thought to test them with the light before, but that's mostly because I don't have any that I've kept 🤣 although saying that, I think I do still have some Red Wing Oysters somewhere that I can try them on? But still, I might have to collect more of them 🐚 Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Judi 👋🏻🏖️💖 Those little blue periwinkles are a tonne of fun; when you think about it, blue isn't a colour that many animals can make! Makes them stand out more 😲 and those Carditas are wonderful with their vibrant and varied colours as well 🤩 Ahh I hear you, miss the Bladder Moon Snails too 🐌 they've been hiding during my recent Hervey Bay visits...souch sand and seaweed/algae had covered the beach on my last two trips up there. Fingers crossed that it improves soon! Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Reet 👋🏻💖 That little Music Cone had wonderfully clear patterns 🤩 but I wonder what put that tiny little hole in the bottom of it 🤔? Quite odd, but still lovely ❤️ Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Janice 👋🏻🐚 It's a wonderful type of coral 😲 it looked like a honey comb, kinda? But with more little holes in it; super interesting! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Melanie 👋🏻🐚 Haha they do look like the Cornettos 😂 the black on the white top looks like chocolate chips! If I'm lucky enough to find a Captain Cone though, I sometimes call it the "Forbidden Cornetto" 🤣 it looks more like one than the Music Cone! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@ShellingAdventures woah I thought it was just me who thought they looked like Cornettos😂 I love that! And yes, you are so right about the Captain Cones looking more so like them😋🍦
Hi Maddie fav today is the yellow toothed cowrie. You’re so funny when you’re in the splash zone “ up up up up up” 😂 not having much luck shelling in north NSW so far.
G’day Jane 👋🏻🌊 Haha, it’s crazy how different some sections of the beach can be at different tide times…sometimes I’m very comfortable, and sometimes it’s up up up up up!!! Haha 😂!! Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that you weren’t having much luck shelling in northern NSW 😮 I did see you later comment about finding Hastings Point (I must reply to all comments tomorrow 😉) and I was very relieved to hear that you had more luck shelling 🐚 From what I’ve heard, I think it’s one of the go-to spots in northern NSW, so I’m glad it wasn’t picked over when you got there! Your trip here at Point Cartwright was truely a poor time after the school holidays and rough weather that filled the rock pools with sand 😭 It’s about time things were looking up for you!! Thank you so much for watching, and letting me know about the trip around Oz!
Love that you brave the waves for us. One thing you do is not show what is coming up in the video. The whole idea of watching is what you find and do. The carditas are my favorite for how colorful they are. Hope it’s not to cold.
G’day Jan 👋🏻💖 Ahhh if I didn’t brave the waves, it would feel like a colossal missed opportunity 😉 and is the middle of Spring here; the sun is warm/hot and the water is pleasant -just perfect!! Oh I know what you’re talking about: I do watch various videos that give an upcoming look into the things you’re about to watch… I have thought about doing it, but I like just jumping right into things; my content is fast paced enough without preamble to warrant such a thing, I think? I do understand why some channels do it though; that first impression can be crucial for encouraging new viewers to stick around, and a lot of successful channels make use of this method to draw more people in or give the video an introductions. But I don’t think I need to do that for what I do 🤔 Maybe if I went shelling overseas, I would give that kind of upcoming/introductory exposition? I digress 😅 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@ShellingAdventures I watch many TH-cam videos and they do exactly what you do. One I watch has over 2 million followers. I think your approach is your style. Don’t change, you are doing great!
G'day 뿡뿡👋🏻🏖 Pungpung? Oh my goodness, I messed that up twice over 😂 Yesss, I did know "allusive" versus "elusive" but I can't believe I put that second "l" in there with my correction (not correct at all). Ahhh, thank you for pointing that out; it seems like the correction itself was elusive 😂 and thank you for watching the shell finding adventure ❤
G'day Susan 👋🏻💖 Ahhh I saw that on the playback while editing the video...I don't think I did 😅! I only had one Crowned Cone and one Music Cone in my little after the morning of shelling 😂 I must have been a little picky while "shopping the wracklines" as another lady here likes to call it 🤣 Sorry to disappoint, I know you love those cones 😆 but thank you so much for watching 🥰
G’day Ari 👋🏻🏖️ Oh wow, crystals too! What kinds of crystals do you like? Did you know that every calendar month has a birth crystal; maybe your favourite is the crystal from the month of your birthday? Thank you for watching the shells, too 🥰🐚
G'day Lemon Queen 👋🏻🍋 Oh my goodness, another batch! I think I did pretty good with these ones too, but let's see: Easy: Bird Cardita Lace Coral Pink Lace Coral Thick-edged Cowrie Pebble Urchin Graceful Cowrie Bean Trivia Medium (some of these are challenging)! Tetraclitella purpurascens...I don't remember this one 😳! Rusty-ribbed Scallop Humphrey's Cowrie Australian Angel Wing Blue Periwinkle Spengler's Trumpet Music Cone Keyhole Limpet Hard: Yellow-toothed Cowrie Pacific Jewel Box Pheasant Shell Common Tent Shell Trough Clam Carrion-ribbed Mitre (I remembered that Vexillum is a mitre shell, but it took me ages to remember which species I picked up 😅) Agate Helmet That was another fun brain tester 😁 Thank you so much Lemon Queen 🥰 and thanks for watching another big adventure 🥰

I only had one Crowned Cone and one Music Cone in my little after the morning of shelling 😂 I must have been a little picky while "shopping the wracklines" as another lady here likes to call it 🤣 Sorry to disappoint, I know you love those cones 😆 but thank you so much for watching 🥰
