- WHAT?? A second box of gifted seashells from the wonderful and lovely Trudy. Thank you so, so much Trudy, I am honestly lost for words and don't even know how to respond to such generosity.
See the first box that Trudy sent me: • International Seashell...
I'm absolutely in love with the GIANT Lion's Paw Scallop, as well as the wonderful Murexes, Whelks, and Tulip shells! Wow, what absolutely beauties from Florida and North Carolina. The Filipino Murex and Latiaxia are just too stunning as well. And the Wentletrap, my goodness, the WENTLETRAP!!! Thank you Trudy!
Thank you so much for watching something different today, and of course, let me know if you have a favourite too? Honestly, I'd be surprised if you could pick just one!!
Do you want to see my shell display cabinet before I put these shells inside? Have a look at it over here:

Thank you Trudy for the wonderful gift to Maddie. Trudy you are a very generous and kind lady, sending you and your husband positive thoughts for a recovery from his illness. 😃
G'day Dawn 👋🏻💖 I was so spoiled by Trudy; she sent me an absolutely wonderful gift box. Thank you so much for keeping her husband in your thoughts. He has so many challenges ahead of him, but the prayers and well wishes are helping. Thank you also for watching this extra long unboxing day, Dawn 🥰
Wow!!! Trudy, you outdid yourself! What amazing shells you sent Maddie! 🥰 I’m praying for you and your husband. Maddie you did a great unboxing! 🎉 Your shell display with rival the best of them. ❤ Thanks for sharing. Oh, that Wentletrap is fabulous!!! I’ve never seen one that big in real life! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 I KNOW, RIGHT??!! I didn't even know that Lion's Paw Scallops got that big, it's really massive, right??!!! Like, really big?? Same with that Wentletrap! I will need to re-do so much of my display now, but I'm really looking forward to it 😁 Thank you so much Pam 💖 and thank you for sending your kind thoughts and prayers to Trudy and her husband, I know it will help out more than we know.
Wow Christmas comes so early for Maddie 😍 Thank you Trudy for her generosity and thoughtfulness so that we can all share the joy of unboxing such beautiful shells. My favourite ones are the Angel Wing, Wentletrap, Maple Leaf Triton and all the little shells especially the cute button shells.
G'day Florence 👋🏻💖 It really want an amazingly generous gift that Trudy sent to me 😲🐚❤️ I hope she enjoyed watching the unboxing and seeing how I shared her precious shells with everyone else here 🎁 The Wentletrap was definitely one of her prized shells in her collection before she sent it to me. All of the shells are just so lovely; I am quite taken with the Angel Wing and Maple Leaf Triton too - they are so big and stunning 🤩 Thank you Florence, for watching this extra long unboxing today 🥰 I'll be back out to the beach next time 🏖️
Great collection of beautiful shells so cool🎉!!!!!❤
G'day Sherry 👋🏻❤️ Thank you so much 😍 I was absolutely blown away by the sheer generosity of this gift. Thank you so much for watching this extra long video 🥰 I'll be back to shelling at the beach next time 🏖️
These are beautiful!! Well Done Trudy!! Sending prayers for you and your Husband!!
G’day Kitten Luvr 👋🏻🐱 Oh my goodness, you have found my next set of unboxing videos 🤩 Trudy sent me some absolutely amazing shells; I look at that big Lion’s Paw everyday in my shell cabinet!! Thank you so very much for sending your prayers to her husband; he’s in a really tough place right now, and needs all of the help and support that we can send his way 🥰
wowow your collection is growing so big really amazing collection you received
G'day Tom 👋🏻🐙💖 Thank you so much, this was a spectacular gift box 🎁❤️ my display is going to look amazing when I add these ones in! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi, Maddie The Shells have found a wonderful home. That's so sweet of her to gift you all those Shells. I'm sure she knows how much you appreciate her and the gifts.
I'm trying to decide which ones are my favorite. I love the giant lion's paw. I just adore all the scallops. The noble Volute is very cool. It's hard for me to figure out the name of seashells that are called different names but are the same come. Like the large lettered cone, I've heard it called a flea bitten cone. It doesn't really matter since they are seashells and they are very beautiful indeed. I watch SWF shelling and she is so good about figuring out the names of all the shells she finds. That's also why I appreciate watching you. You always are honest about whether you know the correct name or not. Again thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend. It's actually starting to warm up here. Planting the garden and taking care of our newest members baby ducks.
G'day Roberta 👋🏻💖 Thank you, I can't wait to give these shells their permanent places in my display cabinet! I am so grateful to Trudy, this gift was really too generous; the scallops and lion's paw in particular! So, for shells with more than one name, I think it's just what certain books published their common names to be, you know, before the internet centralized that knowledge. I have an old seashell book that say my Bean Trivias are actually called Little Rice Cowries. So, if a shell has two common names, it's no big deal. If it has two scientific names, it means it's taxonomy has changed over the years: simple put, the shell was categorized into a new sub-species listing, so it's name changed to reflect a great accuracy for what it actually is. And if I don't know what something is, that's fine, I don't mind admitting that I have no idea 🤣 though I do sometimes like to give it a try even if I'm wrong (I'm very thankful to a few watchers who tell me when I make a mistake). Hehe, my new Bat Volute from Trudy does look like a Noble Volute, but they are two different shells! I do have a Noble Volute in my cabinet already. I'm digressing 😅 Thank you so much for watching this extra long unboxing; I know it's the second extra long video is less than a few weeks now 🥰 Oh my gosh, adorable, please take care of those lovely baby ducklings 🦆🦆🦆
Very generous indeed! Your collection must be pretty amazing Trudy. Saying a prayer for you and your husband at this challenging time. Maddie, your excitement is very contagious and relatable. I watch a lot of Florida shelling videos and always love the knob whelks and true tulips so those are my favs from this unboxing. 🙂
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 I loved the Knobbed Whelks and Tulips too!! Those shells, I mean, I watch similar videos, so I've always wanted them as well 🤩 this was such a gift; those shells are so precious to me because I have no way to collect them when they are halfway around the world 🐚😆 Trudy is so generous! I have seen pictures of Trudy's coming collection, and goodness me, some of the shells she sent me were prominent pieces! I was shocked to see them in the gift box 😲🎁 she has an amazing collection for sure, but this level of generosity is just too much; I am so thankful to Trudy 💖 Thank you Oceanluvn Gal for sending your kind thoughts and prayers to her and her husband; I know it will mean a lot to them 🙏 Thank you so much for watching this big unboxing today 🥰
Morning to ya Maddie ! Wow what a special gift. They are so beautiful. Those scallops and that wentle trap are spectacular. My favorites are those gorgeous murex shells. I will be sure and say a prayer for Trudy and her husband. Maddie you take care of yourself. You are very special to us. You bring me such joy with your adventures and your personality. Stay safe and take care. From rainy Ohio.
Good morning Anita 👋🏻💖 Thank you very much, I know your kind thoughts and prayers will mean more to Trudy and her husband than what we'll ever know. I'm sure it will give them strength to know that so many people are hoping for the best for them ❤️ Trudy is truly such a generous lady to send me this box amidst all of this; I know that Wentletrap, False Cowrie, and Lion's Paw were prominent pieces in her collection before sending them to me 😲🐚 Thank you Anita, I'm doing my best to take care of myself 😉 I've had to avoid the beach for a week because it's been so rainy here too; I don't want to slip and fall! Take care of yourself too, the rainy days can always make people around us feel grumpy and a bit down, so watch out for yourself on the roads and in the community 🙏 Thank you so much for watching my big unboxing today 🥰
Hi Maddie, You know how to do research I do not. Some shells have double names. You did an amazing job with the seashell box. No broken ones this time. The Imperial Venus Clam is a tough cookie to crack but I missed the tiny hole a predator got thru between the fold. I love the big Lion's Paw Scallop. I have lots of International shells in my collection because I love their uniqueness. More seashells coming in future. Thank you. Love, Trudy
Wow what a lovely thing to do :) Maddie is so lucky so jealous beautiful thing to do ❤😊
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖💖 I'm finally getting to messages after a big day at Hervey Bay yesterday 😉 Thank you again so, so much for this amazing box. I know I have already said this before, but you are truly too generous, and gosh, I was quite taken-aback at many of the surprises you sent my way. I absolutely love each and every one of these shells. Gosh, I'll have to work on finding a spot in my cabinet for them; I can't wait!! Oh yes, I did a bit of extra research on all of the shells...mostly so I could copy/paste their names into the video without needing to manually type them all. It lead me to looking into the shells a little more, which I think was a fun little diversion for me while editing the video 📷 oh, I thought that Venus with the hole was one of the ones for a necklace (I think you mentuoned that before??) I think all of them are lovely 😍 The big Lion's Paw is definitely my overall favourite too, the colour is amazing, but it was a hard choice because there are so many amazing shells! Thank you so much Trudy 💖 this is way more than enough, you don't need to keep breaking up your collection for me; just enjoy them! Once again, thank you for these beautiful shells, they will be treasured forever 🥰
G'day Gina 👋🏻🐚 I am indeed so lucky. It's amazing that finding seashells at the beach has introduced me to so many amazing people. Thank you Gina, and everyone else for coming along with me.
@@SandCoffeeRocks Maddie I have the two necklace Venus. They are smaller. You are going to get my better collection little by little and you can show them to everyone. You are a very precious friend to me Maddie. XXOO. TRUDY
Trudy, you are far too generous. Please, hang onto your collection so you can enjoy it 💗 I was so surprised to see these rare pieces you sent me from your favorites today. I nearly had a heart attach (just kidding, but you know what I mean)! Thank you again Trudy 💖 take care of yourself and that wonderful husband of yours.
Maddie, I'm so happy for you. You have a very generous friend that has gifted these incredible shells. I'm a big scallop lover so you can imagine my shock when I saw the lovely orange lion's paw. The sun Dail and Venus shells are also favorites. Amazing! Amazing! I can't get over the excitement I share with you. Thank you Trudie for allowing us the opportunity to see all these beautiful gifts from the sea. I will include your husband in my prayers. Thank you for bringing such happiness to Maddie and us, her You tube followers.🎉🎊🐚🐌
G'day Guadalupe 👋🏻💖 Thank you so much for keeping Trudy and her husband in your prayers, I know it will mean the world to them ❤️ and indeed, I am so fortunate to have met a lovely and generous lady like her. I'm honestly so grateful to everyone here on TH-cam - you are so amazing and kind to me 💗 The Lion's Paw scallop absolutely blew my mind! I didn't know that they could get that big!!! The other scallops from Florida and Japan are absolutely amazing; they are just too beautiful and unique. I'm just blown away by all of the amazing shells, I was quite taken-aback while unboxing; this was really too much 😲 Thank you so, so much for your lovely comment, and for watching this extra long video today 🥰 I'll be back at the beach next time 🏖️
So lovely Maddie. Love the big cone shell but your friend sent sooo many beauties.
Trudi love and peave to you and your family
G'day Donna 👋🏻❤️ She really did send too many beauties, I can completely blown away by the level of generosity that she's show me now and in the past few months, too 😲 Oh, the big Lettered Cone is absolutely fabulous 🤩 the spots on it are are lovely 😍 the little Rayed Cone was also a wonderful cone shell, it was quite a challenging one to find the correct name for 🐚 I digress 😆 Thank you so much for watching this big unboxing 🥰 and thank you so much for sending your love and kind thoughts to Trudy and her husband, I know it helps them more than we know 💖
Hi Maddie
Wow I think that I am a bright shade of green at the moment.
What a tremendous cross section of truely beautiful shells.
We can only dream of having a couple of those in your collection. Thanks so much for sharing them and I shall try to stop drueling. Ha ha
G'day Aussie Dirt Digger 👋🏻🪙💖 Haha, it's a bit like that 🤣 I so shocked that I've met such a generous and lovely lady while sharing a my shell collecting videos. I didn't think I would ever get my hands on these beautiful Filipino and Florida shells; it's honestly a dream come true - I understand fully just how lucky I am to be gifted these. Thank you so much for watching such a long video, especially so soon after after the super long Brisbane unboxing too 🥰❤️💖
Hi Maddie, I loved hearing your enthusiasm and excitement as you opened the shells, I bet Trudie enjoyed that too. I hope whatever Trudie is dealing with in her family is resolved quickly.
Thankyou for sharing these unique shells. 🐚xxx
G'day Alison 👋🏻❤️ I had so much fun and so many surprises opening this big gift box 🎁💖 I was pretty taken-aback with a lot of the shells, I know that several of these were prized pieces of Trudy's collection until now. I kept wondering if it was okay for me to have them, and if I should actually send them back!! Trudy was really too generous, she's such a lovely lady to do this for me. Unfortunately Trudy's husband will be facing his medical challenges for the rest of his life, but he is a strong man and it taking them head on. I know your prayers or well-wishes will reach him; thank you so much Alison, it will mean the world to both of them ❤️ and thank you so much for coming to see all of the surprises that Trudy sent to me, I also hope that she enjoyed watching me open these beauties and showing them to everyone here 🥰
All I can say is WOW! My favorite is the spiral thingy! And the jumbo scallop also! What a fun video❤❤❤
G'day LuAnn 👋🏻🐚 I was quite surprised by this box too, it was far too generous a gift! Trudy really out-did herself. Hmm, LuAnn, you know, most seashells and sweet swirly spirals 🤣 its ok, I think I know which one you mean 😉 I'm guessing it's the gorgeous Precious Wentletrap 🐚❤️! The huge Lion's Paw Scallop is more fantastic than I can even say, too. Thank you so much for watching this super long unboxing video today 🥰 I'll be back to the beach for next time 🏖️
Gday M,. LUV THE LION'S PAW. That is the biggest I've seen.
I watched many Fl. Shelling videos. Ppl find pieces of the big ones. Some small ones.
A lot of your gift shells are rare. Some I never seen before.
Your friend must like you alot😘
G'day Jk 👋🏻💖 It's sooo big, right??? I didn't really have anything to reference the size of the Lion's Paw against because I have only even seen them in pictures and they rarely pop up in Florida shelling videos... But... It's REALLY huge, right?!! I was shocked 😳 a lot of the shells that Trudy sent me are so rare, I was quite taken-aback by the generosity of this gift, it was such a surprise. Even the more "common" shells from the USA like the Calico Scallops and the Knobbed Whelks are so rare to me; I will never find them here halfway around the world. Trudy is such a wonderful lady and we have become great friends over the months; I'm really spoiled by her ❤️ an, honestly, everyone else too. Thank you so, so much for your lovely comment, and for watching this extra long unboxing video today 🥰 I'll be back to the beach next time 🏖️
@@SandCoffeeRocks
Everyone deserves to be spoiled from someone 💐
👀Soon
Congratulations, Maddie. Wonderful shells.😊
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 Thank you so much, I feel so lucky and blessed to have met such wonderful people around the world ❤️
You are welcome, Maddie 😊.
Great shells! I was glad to see the owl limpet, because I also apparently have an owl limpet. I knew it was a limpet, just never which kind. Mine is also super shiny. I think they are polished, because in all of the pictures I saw of them alive the shells look really rough. Have a good one, Maddie!
G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 The Owl Limpet is very cool 😎 I also think it has been polished to shine like that; I though about it some more and, uh, I realized that I've picked up enough limpets to know they aren't shiny like that straight from the beach ⛱️🤣 I thought this limpet could have been a Tortoise/Turtle Limpet 🐢 but it's honestly so hard for me to ID limpets, so I'm happy to agree with Trudy that it's an Owl 🦉! I hope you have a lovely day too Erin, thank you so much for watching this super long video today 🥰 I'll be back out at the beach next time 🏖️🐚
I love the nerites and limpet. All the shells are wonderful and I love them.
G'day Carma 👋🏻🐚 Yessss some love for the Nerites!!! I really love this Bleeding Tooth Nerite; I have seen them in videos, and I can't get them in Australia, so this was super exciting! The big Owl Limpet is also absolutely beautiful. This was just a spectacular, generous gift 🎁 the shell are so amazing. Thank you for watching the extra long unboxing this time 🥰
Amazing unboxing. I think the Wentletrap is my fav. I have one about the same size. You should send her something as a surprise for her, she's awesome. Thank you for sharing with us. 😊
G'day Maria 👋🏻🐚 My goodness, thank you for checking out this big shell unboxing! The Wentletrap from Trudy is just huge, and gosh, they sure are wonderful at that size, aren't they?! Oh yes, I always want to send Trudy something, but she usually refuses... I did just send her a few shells for recently though, but it certainly wasn't enough! She is too kind, and such a dear friend to me. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Wow your so lucky to have that all amazing and beautiful sea shell she is very generous,,how I wish to have too even 1 peace of them 🙏😔
I love the heart shape creation!
G'day Veronica 👋🏻🐚 it's crazy to think it's all the way from the UK, too!! Thanks for watching 🥰

Wow I love them all your so lucky to have a friend that so generous and so kind,,how I wish to have them also even 1 peace of that wonderful shell coz I don't have a capacity to have that amazing wonderful shell 🙏😔
G'day Cindy 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, thank you, I really am so lucky to have been given all of these shells by one lovely lady ❤️ The beauty of nature is everywhere, not just in seashells 🤔 Cherish and love the beauty around you ✨ Thank you so much for watching 🥰
My favorite is the shark eye moon shell with the barnacles!❤
G'day Cathy 👋🏻❤️ Oh wow, that Shark Eye with the Barnacles was unreal, right?! So interesting and unique! Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing today 🥰
My favorite Florida shell is the imperial Venus clam and absolutely love that you call them “ lumpy bumpys” . I may just have to call them that from now on 😅
G'day KM 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, there was so many amazing Florida shells in here 🤩 the Imperial Venus Clams are stunning shells 🐚 actually, it was another commenter who did a shell swap with, she called them "Lumpy Bumpy' so I totally borrowed that saying from her 🤣 I absolutely love it 😆 Thank you so much for watching this big unboxing video today 🥰 I'll be back out collecting shells next time, so look forward to it too 🏖️🐚🤩
Morning Maddie, I love the all the minnie's shells . Thank you for sharing your story of shell's you get, it makes it somewhat easier to identify some of the shells that I have from 20 years ago. It's funny that the shell's I have are so different in the sizes and the shiny nest. I didn't kno about collecting back then, i just pick them up here and there. Love to ninja and you from salt,pepper and me❤❤❤❤
G'day Sheila 👋🏻💖 Hehe, I actually chucked at them being called "tiny seashells" because the mini Microshells I find here are so much smaller!! I've taken yo calling some of the extremely small ones "nano shells" I digress. I absolutely loved all of the lovely small shells, and the murexes, and the lion's paw, and, and, and!!!! Oh wow, you have shells from 20 years ago that you're not sure about names for? Maybe I can help; if you want, you can send me a picture of each one of Facebook and I'll try to come up with a name of you're really curious about what it is ☺️ I bet you've collected some amazing ones ❤️🐚 Thank you so much for watching 🥰 love to all the 😻
The tiny shell you asked about is a Sunburst Spectral Bittersweet Clam
G'day Dawn 👋🏻🐚 Thank you so much!!! I was really wondering about this striped clam, but really had no idea what it was... though I vaguely remembered seeing it on a Florida shelling video, once 🤔 Sunburst Spectral Bittersweet; what an awesome name 😎 Thank you Dawn, and thanks for watching this big unboxing from a very generous lady 🥰
These are mostly beautiful and rare shells but if I had to choose I loved the owl limpet never seen before and latiaxis.. Btw this lion's paw is fre∆king huge you can put your mini shells in it or can make it a soap dish.. 😌❤🐚
G'day Zenzen 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness yes, they are all wonderful and rare shells 😍 I was truly spoiled by Trudy; she has sent me so many beautiful shells, I don't think there is a way that I can ever thank her. The Lion's Paw is just amazing. Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing this time 🥰
Any more gifting??
G’day Veronica 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, thank you for all of your lovely comments ❤️ I just got up and will respond to them later this day 🌞 I do have more unboxing videos; if you go to my main channel page, there will be a playlist at the bottom that says Shell Buys, Gifts, and Unboxings. Or something like that anyway 😅 I also put extra unedited unboxing videos on my Facebook page: facebook.com/SandCoffeeRocks Thanks for watching 🥰
