Hello Maddie! I have a whole zoo of favourites today, haha. The donkey cowrie, snakehead cowries, zebra volute, and little bear cowrie. Special mention to the operculum and sea urchin.
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 Hehe, sometimes it feels like I find enough shell families to open a zoo 😂 I think you liked a bit of everything this time 🤩 that cowries are lovely, and the stripes/tip on the Zebra Volute is just lovely. Thanks for giving a mention to the Operculum and urchin; they are awesome little find, with that urchin being so rare here 😲 thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Riptar 👋🏻🐚 Aww thank you so much for saying so, it's lovely to hear how relaxing the shelling adventures make you feel 😁 I always wonder if I'm too 'exciting' to be able to relax with, but I'm glad you feel this way. The great thing about going to the beach and finding seashells is that there isn't any stress, just good times ❤️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Good morning, Maddie It sounds like you had a great day. The periwinkle, music cone, land snails, bird cardita, dove shells are too cute, crown cone, the cowries, and the white limpits are lovely. Seeing the feathered star fish does look like a spider. It is always nice to see the the live critters and shells. The zebra volute was very nice, the piping shells love the color. You know I really like mini sand dollars/sea urchins. I still can't pick a favorite. You did have a shell I don't remember it's name but it was one I had never heard before. You always put the beautiful displays. Thank you for another wonderful shelling adventure. It is always the favorite part of my day. Have a wonderful day Maddie. See you next video. I hope you are doing well.
G'day Toni! It was a really lovely day; it was like finding a zoo worth of shells with all of the different shell families and species. A bit like a zoo with the live creatures too, that feather starfish was really cool in a creepy way? But back to the shells: those common Pipi shells seem to be really popular... I have always overlooked them, but I should try to collect them more often if so many people like them. I'll always collect the Zebra Volutes with their tips, they are too nice! Hmm, I found a shell you hadn't heard of before? Not sure which one that is, but I'm glad that I could surprise you with something. Aww Toni, thank you so much for your lovely words, and for joining me on anther big adventure. Take care until next time
That little bear 🐻🐻🐻 cowrie was soooo pretty! Loved all the limpets 🗻🗻🗻 today. I think my favorite today was that little tiny sea urchin! The zebra 🦓🦓🦓 volute was really nice too. Great adventure Maddie, thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 It's been nice to see an increase in Little Bear Cowries lately; I'm not the only one that's found a few here lately (or ones from that shell genus 😲). Oh, the little urchin was the favourite 🤩 it is a cutie, and so unusual to see here at this beach 🏖️ the limpets are much more usual to see here, but I'm glad you like them all the same 😁 Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Susan 👋🏻💖 That little Music Cone was a cute one! I think I'm seeing nice music cones a little more often lately...I wonder if I'm going to see more cones soon?? Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Mary 👋🏻💖 Ohhh that Variable Strom is such a cutie, and not one that I get to collect often 🐚 the colour is lovely one it, a well deserved favourite 😉 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ Oh wow, so the limpets and barnacle stood out to you 😲 they can be surprisingly colourful! Same with those Common Pipis; always so purple on the insides 💜 Ohhh you're getting good at those shell IDs!!! Congrats on knowing the Donkey on sight - it's a really cool one 🦓 Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Jeff 👋🏻💖 It was another big episode for the minis; it was a wonderful time to find them 🤩 No worries, I know you're here for the adventures even if I don't see a coffee comment ☕😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Di 👋🏻🏖️ It was a day with a little slice of everything on the shell pizza...ok, that was a weird analogy 🤣! Thank you so much for joining the adventure today 🥰
Hi Maddie Some different Limpits and a nice variety of Cowries. The small Wentletrap was great as well, but the Nerites were the standout today with the different markings. It’s hard to find two the same that’s why I like them. Thanks once again for sharing your shelling trip .
G'day Aussie Dirt Digger 👋🏻🪙💖 I really did find a few lovely limpets this time 🤩 but the cowries always stand out to me; it was nice to collect a few different kinds! Hehe, I'm glad the Nerites stood out the most 😉 I love that underrated shell family, and the Chameleon Nerite this time was especially nice! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hey 👋🏼 Maddie! Lots of minis and one of my favorites is the Variable Stromb. At first I thought it was a Little Bear Conch 😊 7:49 My first Thousand Spot Cone!! So many new finds lately.. 👍 What an ADORABLE little Zebra Volute 😍 Pretty perfect looking to me! 13:39 The little Bear Cowry is another STUNNER 🤩 Another fun beach hunt and how I wish I could be there!! TTFN 👋🏼 ❤
G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 So many minis in this one 🤩 it's really interesting about the Little Bear Conch and Variable Strombus: they look incredibly similar, but if the aperture is black it's a Little Bear Conch. This one is pink, so it's a Variable Strom 🤔 other than that, it's really quite difficult to tell them apart. Oh it's your first Thousand Spot Cone 😲 now that you mention it, I can't really remember the last time I found one?? It's been a long while since I showed on in a video! I'm glad you liked the cute Little Bear Cowrie and the Zebra Volutes too ❤️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰
They are soooo cute Maddie, I really admiring how u display your seashells at the end of video,sooo pretty Well,my fav today is music cone 🎉 2nd is migrating moon snail,sooo cute Thank youuuuu for a good video Maddie 🎉❤
G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 Aww thank you; these display can sometimes turn out looking better than others, but I think this one was quite good...though that's only because I managed to stand up the Pipi shells on that piece of brittle white coral 😅 Phew, it would have looked different if I wasn't able to do that!! Oh wow, the little Music Cone was the favourite this time, with the moon snails coming in second 😲 they are all really cute 😍 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
Hi Maddie , what a pretty bunch today , love the purple , orange and pink colours all together they are delightful . That feather starfish was mesmerising to watch 😍 My fav is the orange tip Zebra Volute today 😊😊 , have fun Maddy with your adventures 🪸🪸🐚🐚
G'day Annie 👋🏻💖 It was a very colourful assortment (the orange tipped Zebra Volute was a nice little surprise), but the variety was really what caught my eye right at the end...it was nice to see them all laid out, and to notice all of the different shell families on the plate. The feather starfish was really amazing; it's movements were almost hypnotic 😲 hmmm do you get large Huntsmen spiders down south?? Lots have been coming into the house here with all of the wet weather...I wish the feather star didn't remind me of them 😂 Thank you so much, and I wish you good luck on your next shell hunt 🥰 time to fill a jar with those Pearly Brooch Shells!!
@@ShellingAdventures slowly but surely my hoard of Pearly brooch shells is growing 😁 but lol it won’t be a very large jar ;) . You have a great variety of shells and spiders up there lol lucky girl 😊. Havnt seen a large spider down here for ages 🤔 . Thanks for your reply Maddie 🐚🐚🐚
@@johannaandrews Brrrr it's probably too cold for them!!! Ah Annie, come up here 😂 you know you want to!! No Brooch shells, but plenty of other shells to find 😉
Hi Maddie, 9 evening here. Never saw a starfosh like that. Lovely. Nice fishing lure. Common Pigi favorite. You have been finding lots of Zebras lately. Great video. Take care and stay safe from those waves. TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 The feather starfish is almost hypnotic with its movements 😲 so unusual! Oh wow, the common Pipis are the favourites this time; I've been seeing more of them than usual lately, they sure are a nice pop of colour 💜 same with those Zebra Volutes; I've been seeing plenty, though I only collect the ones with the tips still intact on them. I'll try to keep my footing among the waves 🌊 you stay safe too, and keep spoiling Bearsy. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Bonnie Julien 👋🏻🏖️ Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏🏻 the variety of mini shells is fabulous, I'm glad you enjoyed them. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Jane 👋🏻🏖️ I hope your trip down the coast is going smoothly 🙏🏻 That Little Bear Cowrie is a real cutie; it's so unusual to have found a few here lately...they almost never show up usually! As always, thank you so much for watching 🥰 and I hope your own adventures are just as fruitful!
Hi Maddie! Jan here, from land-locked Austria, but coming from Melbourne today. It's almost unfair that we need to identify our favorites...maybe I could more easily tell you what I don't like, but there wouldn't be anything on that list. If I MUST pick, I guess the wentletrap, zebra volute, and the conch would be my favorites from today. Your end-of-video displays are so artistic! Thanks so much for filming!
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 I hope you travels are going well 🤞🏻 I think Melbourne has been a little wet and windy lately... Good weather to relax inside 😅 Hahaha, just because I ask for a favourite doesn't mean you need to stress over it 😂 I'm just glad that you liked, errr, almost all of them 😉 the Wentletrap, Variable Strom, and Zebra Volute are definitely bright sports in the end display 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@SandCoffeeRocks I don't stress out about choosing, but it is a difficult decision. Lots of rain yesterday. Cool and breezy today, which was no problem, because our son treated us to Beauty and the Beast Musical tickets, so we spent a few very enjoyable hours indoors!
I’m so excited today ! I’m going to my first seashell show here in Lake Jackson, Texas. We only have one Sea Shell show a year so I do hope it’s good. Well, you have a wonderful day and as always, I enjoyed your videos!
G'day Richard 👋🏻🏖️ Ohhhhh how exciting!!! Have an absolutely wonderful day; you'll have to tell me about it, or maybe I'll see it on your channel later? I wonder how big it will be, the shell shows here are always in a fairly small areas with half a dozen to a dozen vendors, and an area to see the competition shells. I digress, but I truly hope you find some amazing shells there, and purchase some lovely ones for your already stunning collection. Have an absolutely amazing day 🐚💖🐌 and don't disregard land snails if you see any, they're cute too 🤩!!
Such fun finds as always. i cant pass the urchin as my favourite. I got the chance to shell down in Melbourne last week and found a couple different ones there which i was so happy about along with a bunch of other fun shells we dont get. Thanks for sharing.
G'day Danielle 👋🏻🏖️ Welcome back to the coast after spending time down south 😲 that would have been awesome!! Did you find any of this Notocypraea genus cowries down there; the brown cowries, etc?? Or maybe some green Lightning Turbans!! Ahhh and urchins Tok of course, I think the southern parts of Australia have the most amazing urchins 🤩 I'm rather envious of your experience, it sounds quite exciting!! Thanks for watching 🥰
@@ShellingAdventures no cowries in this hunt. I found a bunch of operculums from an unknown shells, most likely a turban. I think the urchins I found are the invasive ones in Port Philip Bay. I found some really fun limpets and a number of sea snails. 1 little abalone shell. Some pretty southern cockles and sand cockles and a bunch of others I’m yet to identify. All I want to do is go back and do some more.
G’day Jasmina 👋🏻🐚 I’m not quite sure what you mean, but I hope it means that I’ve inspired you to start a shell collecting hobby as well ☺️? It’s a wonderful outdoor activity! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, Every time you find a zebra volute I smile and love the way they are marked. Love the chocolate colored snail shell. The limpet at the end was beautiful. I am always amazed at the variety of shells you. What shell where you go have you never found but know they are there? 😊
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 Those Zebra Volutes have been lovely lately...they're always lovely, but I've been seeing more of them lately (but I only collect the ones with the tips). Ohh the limpet was nice, a long with the chocolatey Flat Sand Snail 🐌 Hmm as for your question about shells that are out there, but never found: there are a lot of them out on the reef which done wash ashore(though I have bought my own versions of them), such as a Tiger Cowrie, Mole Cowrie, Map Cowrie, Egg Cowrie, Nautilus, Hunter Volute, and the like. Would like to get an empty Latirus someday; I've only found two live ones so far. I already have most of these shells in my cabinet, but it would be lovely to find some of them myself in a video one day 😁 How about you, anything on your wishlist to find in SC? Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Reet 👋🏻💖 I've been lucky with the donkeys lately 🦓 and gosh, that cute Wentletrap does deserve to be a favourite 🤩 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
G'day Brenda 👋🏻❤️ That little Cat Cowrie was a cutie; it's nice seeing that blue colour with dark stripes that are usually hidden under the speckles on fresher shells. Thanks for watching 🥰
High Maddie 👋 That was a minis day 😍 i love as well and we can espect something new or rare, more than the big ones 🤩 lovely start with the cute Epitonium scalare or whatever species 🤩 very beautiful and well defined pattern of Conus coronatus 🤩 and gorgeous Canarium mutabile 😍 Awesome Cardita aviculina 🤩 and Amoria zebra 🤩 Intriguing Trichomia hirsuta 🤩 and Tugali parmophoidea with its UFO saucer shape 😍 Unusual Scutus unguis too🤩 as well the star rayed Siphonaria denticulata 🤩 Always strongly attractive is Melicerona listeri 😍 and adorable Bistolida ursellus 😍 The Ebony elegant Snake head cowries give to the lot an overall of admirable nature ❤ just richness and perfection in simplicity ❤ Conus miliaris seems not frequent? It as been a torment to me 😅 i dont know how many hours have spent to differentiate it from Conus fulgetrum 😂😂😂 they're very similar. Cellana radiata is very awesome too 🤩 in my collection, i have several samples from Seychelles, with a bright gold pattern, really luxurious 😍 Very beautiful finds ❤ thank you Maddie 💗 cant wait to see next adventure 😍❤❤❤❤❤ Francesco
G'day Francesco 👋🏻🏖️💖 It was a massive day for the minis 🤩 it was like finding a zoo's worth of different shell species! I don't know if I find many new shells anymore, but I definitely come across some odd shells. My goodness, you are incredible with those names 🤩 well done!! I don't mean to disregard all of your comments on the shells, but I think I'd be here all night talking to you about the shells if I go indepth 😂 Conus miliaris is indeed not frequent here, but not as rare as many of the other cones, such as Conus Catus or Conus Rattus. I think it might be more frequent at other beaches 🤔 but I always prefer to go to this one. Huh, Conus fulgetrum is really similar to miliaris...but the images on Google show fulgetrum with more chevron-shaped patterns. Miliaris is always dots and lines like a Conus coronatus, they don't really have arrow or chevron shapes in them. That's just my thoughts anyway! Ahhh, I'm being a shell nerd, I'd better be off for now 😉 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, my favorite today were the music cone and the variable strombus, the donkey cowrie, obviously the zebra volute. Are there many shellers whenever you go shelling or you know when to go to avoid other shellers?
G'day Natalia 👋🏻🏖️ Ohhh you have some nice favourites 🤩 that Variable Strom was a really fun uncommon find, and the Music Cone, Donkey, and Zebra Volute have such lovely patterns on them 🐚😍 As for your question, it's what you'd expect: the best time without other people is when those other people would be at work or school. Weekends and generally busy (at home, though less busy at Hervey Bay) unless it's earlier in the morning. Still, even going to the beach in the middle of the day on a week day, you will still see shellers out there having a day off, long lunch break, or are retired, etc. It's a popular place and a popular activity 🏖️ and it's great to see some of the regulars out there; there is plenty of the beach to look at for everyone. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
G'day Cindy 👋🏻🌊 I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your question properly, but in one scene, I collected two shells from a watery wrackline with a lot of purple-blue items also there. Those items are broken fragments of Purple Four Plater Barnacles...like the one I found at the very end of the video, but these are fragments of larger ones. I hope that answers your question, but let me know if I've interpreted it incorrectly 😉 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hello Maddie! I have a whole zoo of favourites today, haha. The donkey cowrie, snakehead cowries, zebra volute, and little bear cowrie. Special mention to the operculum and sea urchin.

I don’t know why,but watching your videos just walking the beach and finding shells is very calming for me
G'day Riptar 👋🏻🐚 Aww thank you so much for saying so, it's lovely to hear how relaxing the shelling adventures make you feel 😁 I always wonder if I'm too 'exciting' to be able to relax with, but I'm glad you feel this way. The great thing about going to the beach and finding seashells is that there isn't any stress, just good times ❤️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰

Would like to get an empty Latirus someday; I've only found two live ones so far. I already have most of these shells in my cabinet, but it would be lovely to find some of them myself in a video one day 😁 How about you, anything on your wishlist to find in SC? Thanks for watching 🥰
@@ShellingAdventures I would love to find a nice eastern murex. Last year a man found a large beautiful one where I start my walk.
Love the little donkey cowrie and that wentletrap.
G'day Reet 👋🏻💖 I've been lucky with the donkeys lately 🦓 and gosh, that cute Wentletrap does deserve to be a favourite 🤩 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
I like the cat cowrie
G'day Brenda 👋🏻❤️ That little Cat Cowrie was a cutie; it's nice seeing that blue colour with dark stripes that are usually hidden under the speckles on fresher shells. Thanks for watching 🥰
High Maddie 👋
That was a minis day 😍 i love as well and we can espect something new or rare, more than the big ones 🤩 lovely start with the cute Epitonium scalare or whatever species 🤩 very beautiful and well defined pattern of Conus coronatus 🤩 and gorgeous Canarium mutabile 😍 Awesome Cardita aviculina 🤩 and Amoria zebra 🤩 Intriguing Trichomia hirsuta 🤩 and Tugali parmophoidea with its UFO saucer shape 😍 Unusual Scutus unguis too🤩 as well the star rayed Siphonaria denticulata 🤩 Always strongly attractive is Melicerona listeri 😍 and adorable Bistolida ursellus 😍 The Ebony elegant Snake head cowries give to the lot an overall of admirable nature ❤ just richness and perfection in simplicity ❤ Conus miliaris seems not frequent? It as been a torment to me 😅 i dont know how many hours have spent to differentiate it from Conus fulgetrum 😂😂😂 they're very similar. Cellana radiata is very awesome too 🤩 in my collection, i have several samples from Seychelles, with a bright gold pattern, really luxurious 😍
Very beautiful finds ❤ thank you Maddie 💗 cant wait to see next adventure 😍❤❤❤❤❤ Francesco
G'day Francesco 👋🏻🏖️💖 It was a massive day for the minis 🤩 it was like finding a zoo's worth of different shell species! I don't know if I find many new shells anymore, but I definitely come across some odd shells. My goodness, you are incredible with those names 🤩 well done!! I don't mean to disregard all of your comments on the shells, but I think I'd be here all night talking to you about the shells if I go indepth 😂 Conus miliaris is indeed not frequent here, but not as rare as many of the other cones, such as Conus Catus or Conus Rattus. I think it might be more frequent at other beaches 🤔 but I always prefer to go to this one. Huh, Conus fulgetrum is really similar to miliaris...but the images on Google show fulgetrum with more chevron-shaped patterns. Miliaris is always dots and lines like a Conus coronatus, they don't really have arrow or chevron shapes in them. That's just my thoughts anyway! Ahhh, I'm being a shell nerd, I'd better be off for now 😉 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, my favorite today were the music cone and the variable strombus, the donkey cowrie, obviously the zebra volute. Are there many shellers whenever you go shelling or you know when to go to avoid other shellers?
G'day Natalia 👋🏻🏖️ Ohhh you have some nice favourites 🤩 that Variable Strom was a really fun uncommon find, and the Music Cone, Donkey, and Zebra Volute have such lovely patterns on them 🐚😍 As for your question, it's what you'd expect: the best time without other people is when those other people would be at work or school. Weekends and generally busy (at home, though less busy at Hervey Bay) unless it's earlier in the morning. Still, even going to the beach in the middle of the day on a week day, you will still see shellers out there having a day off, long lunch break, or are retired, etc. It's a popular place and a popular activity 🏖️ and it's great to see some of the regulars out there; there is plenty of the beach to look at for everyone. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
What is the blue .
G'day Cindy 👋🏻🌊 I'm not sure if I'm interpreting your question properly, but in one scene, I collected two shells from a watery wrackline with a lot of purple-blue items also there. Those items are broken fragments of Purple Four Plater Barnacles...like the one I found at the very end of the video, but these are fragments of larger ones. I hope that answers your question, but let me know if I've interpreted it incorrectly 😉 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
