- Thank you so much Erin! Wow, would you look at these amazing shell from Mexico! A lot of these species are also found in North America too, or further south in South America. Needless to say; they're not shells that I've ever seen in Australia! A lot of them are shells that I've never seen before in my life, so this made for a wonderfully unique experience.
Once again, I want to give a big thank you to Erin; she sent these shells to me as a gift - one that hold a lot of sentimentality for her. These shells were originally bought or collected from Mexico over 20 years ago during a childhood trip, and I am so honoured and grateful that she has parted with such beautiful shells. They will be treasured here in Australia.
Thank you (yes, you who is reading the description!) so much for watching something different today, and of course, let me know if you have a favourite too? There are so many great shells to choose from - I'm quite partial to the Florida Horse Conch, Apple Snail, and the white Olive shell, WOW!!

Yay! That was so fun! I'm glad everyone enjoyed the shells! Getting to share them with you and your viewers is way better than having them just sitting in a box here. And don't worry, I still have plenty of extras of all those shells still in my collection. Thanks for being part of the fun everyone!
G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 I know I've said all of this already, but I'm still absolutely blown away by these shell 😲 I can't believe you sent such treasures to me! Even saying that you have extras; this is still a big deal for you to have sent me so many beautiful mementos of your childhood trip. I think I few people here might even be thinking planning a shelling trip to Mexico next (just kidding, but maybe 😂)? Thank you so, so much for giving these shells to me, and for letting me share the unboxing here. This was an absolute joy in every way possible... and don't think I didn't notice how that Apple Snail is the same one from your shell display photo from last year when you shared the giveaway shell picture, gosh, this was a really personal "bonus shell"!! Words cannot easily say how grateful I am to you for doing this for me. Thank you so much ❤️🥰💖 and thank you for sharing and supporting my passion for shells as well 🐚 my world has changed so much (for the better) over the last two years: thank you for being a part of that 🙏🏻
High Maddie 👋
Great cowrys , really perfect conditions and large variety 🤩
I agree for Polinices powisianus 👍🤩 thanks to share with us ❤ just wonderful videos ❤
Hi Maddie, how kind of Erin to send the lovely shells. I loved the hand drawn map in the box. I think the smaller of the two nerite was my favourite, loved the grey and black markings. Nature is amazing!
Thank you for sharing your precious shell box with us.❤
G’day Alison 👋🏻💖 Erin is incredibly generous - I know that if it was me in her position, well, I’d have so much trouble parting with any one of these shells from such a precious childhood trip! Thank you for your lovely words; I think she would have loved reading them too ❤️ Oh wow, I think that little Virgin Nerite was a crowd favourite this time; it was small but mighty! Thank you again for your lovely comment, and for watching this big unboxing 🥰
It was so nice of you Erin to send such beautiful shells to Maddie. I really enjoy the fact that Maddie loves the shells. I have just really started watching her shell videos. I know I will never make it to Australia but I feel like I am there with you Maddie. Keep up the awesome work. ❤
G’day Tina 👋🏻💖 Thank you so, so much for your lovely comment to Erin, I’m sure she felt her heart warming when she read it ❤️ she is a lovely lady, and I feel like I could never thank her enough for these shells. I really am a shell nerd; I feel so grateful and be able to have these shells in my hands - I don’t think I’d ever get to Mexico to find them. I’m sorry that you also will not get to Australia, but I’m glad that I can still show you a piece of the beaches (and shells) over here 🏖️ Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
Thanks Erin for sending Maddie such a great assortment of shells. My two favorites are the little Virgin Nerite and the Wavy Chione. Both of those shells had amazing patterns. Thanks for sharing....hugs from Ontario, Canada........Wanda
G’day Wanda 👋🏻💖 Thank you so, so much for giving such a wonderful ‘thank you ‘ to Erin, I know she would have been thrilled to see it ❤️ I love your picks for the favourites; that Virgin Nerite is so adorable, and the Wavy Chione is just stunning!! Thanks again for watching, and for your kind words 🥰
Hi Maddie, I am curious to see what a bleach bath would do to the top shell, the cone and the horse conch! Very sweet of Erin to send you these precious gifts and of you to receive them with love ❤️
G’day Kim 👋🏻🏖️ Hmm a bleach bath on the top shell… I think the Turban/Top shell will remain the same, but I have a theory that the Price Cone will have a bit of a transformation!! As for the Horse Conch, I think I like how the periostracum gives the shell come colour contrast 🤩 it will stay on, perhaps 😉 Oh gosh yes, Erin is incredibly generous to part with your shell treasures, and then send them all the way to me on the other side of the world. She really did too much for me!! Thank you as well for watching the big unboxing 🥰
Incredible!!! It had to cost her a fortune to send to Oz! She loves you for sharing her collection and memories!!
G'day Aunt Di 👋🏻💖 You are correct, it cost her far more than I think it should have!! I forgot to mention it in the video, but this was completely and totally a gift; she did this out of her own pocket 😲 and the postage is nothing to scoff at! I'm incredibly touched and honored that she shared such a precious piece of her childhood trip with me - in her place, I don't know if I would've be able to do it 🤯 Thank you so much for joining me for this big unboxing 🥰
That is the most instating cone shell I have ever seen!!🤯
G'day Willa 👋🏻🐚 It really was a lovely cone shell 🤩 I do find some amazing cone shells at the beaches here in Queensland, but I struggle to find larger sized ones. This one was a real surprise!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
The comb Venus and the little Nerite are my favorites! What beautiful sea shells. As always Maddie great unboxing.
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 I've never seen a Comb Venus before, so I was quite surprised by it!! It's a wonderful shell, and the little Nerites too! I looked up some information about that tiny Virgin Nerite: apparently it's a common enough shell all around the coast of Florida! I wonder why I never see the Florida shellers finding them? It seems like a shame 😅 or maybe they are around the mangroves instead of the beaches 🤔 in any case, I feel like I've received some very precious and sentimental shells from Erin. Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
Beautiful shells, what a gift!! I think they call that size of Florida horse conch a “pony”. Smaller than full grown larger than the juveniles
G’day Maggie 👋🏻🐚 Ohh, a Pony!! That makes a lot of sense 🤣 and I like it a lot! Such a wonderful gift, I still can’t believe that I have a Florida Horse Conch - just blows my mind!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Very interesting 😊bravo Maddy and thank you to share with us ❤
G'day Francesco 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my goodness, thank you for watching a second unboxing today; these are big videos, so thank you for sharing your time with me 🙏🏻 I appreciate all of your lovely and kind words as well 🥰 I hope you have a wonderful week.
Wonderful box presentation!!! 💜💜💜 Erin, you were very creative in the way you sent those beautiful shells to Maddie! Cool olive shell. 🫒🫒🫒 The panamic comb shell was VERY interesting. I’ve never seen anything like them. The chione shell was gorgeous! I’m glad Erin sent you an apple snail. I’ve only found one and absolutely love it! 🍎🍏🍎 I hope I find more someday to share with you. Thank you Erin and thank you Maddie for another fun unboxing video! 🥰🥰🥰
G’day Pam 👋🏻💖🐚 Erin is so incredibly creative; I think she has it in spades! I really enjoyed opening this box with how she arranged it 🤩 and of course, I loved the shells that she parted with to send to me. Oh wow, so even you haven’t seen the Panamic Comb Venus before!?? I guess it’s on the wrong side of the gulf… it won’t wash up in Texas 🥲 I honestly love all of the shell, but I was the most surprised by the Apple Snail! I didn’t know such a thing existed! So you found one too; did you find it at the beach or in the…woods? I almost wrote ‘bush’ because that’s what you call the woods over here!! I’m too scared to go fossicking in the bush for snail shells; I reckon a snake will get me 🤣!! I have shells that I want to share with you first, ahh, one day!! Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing, it was such a joy to share 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks I found the apple snail on the beach. That’s why I’m hoping to find more. They are such a pretty shell! 🥰
Oh Maddie that nerite name 😂 and has four little teefies.
The tellans and coquinas join together look like butterflies, 🌺
16:45 big Rose collared tellans.
G’day Jk 👋🏻🐚 Haha yes, it has widdle teefies!!! I do really like that glories Nerite with the very literal name 🤣 Oh yes, you’re right; the telling and coquinas really do look like butterflies!! 🦋 Thank you so much for watching this big Mexican unboxing ❤️
What a lovely selection. When I saw the intro picture I thought the fresh water snail was a tun shell. I was surprised 😊
G'day Belix 👋🏻🏖️ Oh wow, you know...it really does look like a Tun Shell 😲🐌 I think its because the Apple Snail shell is so thin with a wide opening? Most land snails have really thin shells; I find them fascinating! Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing 🥰
Hello Maddie, I have 3 favorites. The Nerites ate colorfil. Love the Panamic Comb Venus Clam. Whole Wavy Chione is neat. I have 3 from box in my collection. Great to see shells no one has. Take care and thank you. XXOO. TRUDY
G’day Trudy 👋🏻💖🐚 Ohhh, I wonder which three you have in your collection? I think maybe the Horse Conch, the Hawk-wing Conch, and the… Panamic Comb Venus? I wasn’t sure about the last one 😅! The Nerites were so adorable; I was surprised when I noticed the Virgin Nerite as a somewhat common Florida shell find! The Comb Venus is absolutely stunning 🤩 I have no idea how they managed to wash ashore all intact like that. Oh goodness, and that Wavy Chione is so lovely too. I am incredibly thankful to Erin for sending me such precious shells and precious memories. Take care of yourself too, Trudy! Thanks for watching this big unboxing 💖🥰
It only takes 1-2 drops of mineral oil to shine a shell if you spread it around using an old toothbrush. It’s very quick and gets into all the grooves without dripping or covering your hands
G’day Drew 👋🏻🐚 Oh yes, I hope anyone who sees this will take your words over my actions! I must admit that I knew I was using too much oil, but it was mostly all about the presentation here. Yes, my hands got messy, but the magic of editing really saved me 😂 I never thought of using a toothbrush though; I never really had a lot of shells that were big enough for it! Thank you for the welcome advice, and thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie
You have another fine selection of shells from other parts of the world. I also like the Nerites very different to what we have here. Thanks again for sharing with us.
G’day Aussie Dirt Digger 👋🏻🪙🐚 How have you been!! I really loved the Nerites from North America; they were a little similar to ones I see here, but also uniquely different! I love how much the Nerites can vary in their appearances. Thank you so much for watching this big Mexican unboxing today ❤️
Hi Maddie, I’m good just been very busy the past couple of months but should back off at the end of the month
@@aussiedirtdigger755 It's good to be keeping busy 😉 but I'm glad to hear that you're lessening your load for a while -dont overwork yourself!
Congratulations from Italy 🇮🇹 👏 🎉very nice channel 👋🇮🇹🐚🌈💯💙
G'day Gioacchino 👋🏻🏖️ Oh wow, hello to you in Italy!! I think there are a lot of amazing shell collectors in Italy too 🐚 Thank you so, so much for finding my channel and enjoying this big episode today 🥰
🐚🌈👋 thanks lots for your answer 😊, so about " Italy " now we no have more s shells in our country o meaby same thing, somewhere, because trawl boats destroyed enough, but we have many people who are collectors, in Spain 🇪🇸 you can find lots, specially small one , best regards from Italy 🇮🇹 I will support you r channel 😀 👋🌈🐚💙🙏🏼🇮🇹
🥰🥰🥰🥰
G'day Sunny 👋🏻🌄 Gosh 🥰 Thank you so much for watching 🐚❤️🐚
Enjoyed the video very kind of her to send to you. I have an educational heads up for you. I raise mystery snails and apple snails are cousins. They as re not land snails they are freshwater snails longer than 15 minutes out of the water they die. I love your enthusiasm for these gifts from heaven. Have been a lover of them for many years. I am located about 40 miles south of St Louis Missouri USA🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌
G'day Kathryn 👋🏻🐌 hello to you in Missouri! Ohhh thank you for the information! The card for the Apple Snail did say that it's a freshwater snail, but I mistakenly called it a land snail several times! I've gotten in a bad habit of calling anything other than a sea snail/shell as a land snail 😅 Wow, I didn't know that these fresh water snails could spend so little time out of water; but I bet you keep them very happy in your aquariums or ponds 😀 Thank you for watching this big unboxing, and thanks again for setting my head straight about these snails 🥰
Lovely collection 😍
G'day Linda 👋🏻🐚 It really is a stunning variety of shells that I've never seen before (except perhaps the Horse Conch 🐴 and Hawk-wing Conch 🕊️) so I'm thrilled beyond words that Erin send these to me! Thank you too for watching this big unboxing today 🥰
Great post Maddie, congratulations😊👍! I love the video about opening packages😌😁 Oh, Pomacea maculata 🐌I kept one of these in the aquarium, it lays eggs above the water, get yourself one of these, they are interesting to watch😁
Oh, Florida horse snail Triplofusus giganteus, nice whole shell, large, old snails usually have a lot of damage to the shell.
Prince cone 👑 is a good, not often found cone, probably due to the fact that it lives far from both you and me, here it is quite large.
Hysteroconcha lupanaria🤩, congratulations Maddie! Beautiful, it was also a symbol of the shell show, an excellent addition to the collection👍
G'day Mikhail 👋🏻🐚 I think about you all the time - I have so many of your shells to catch up on, but my days always become busy. Thank you so much for finding the time to watch this big Mexican shell unboxing!! Oh my goodness, a live Pomacea maculata in your aquarium! Amazing, I didn't realise you could keep them like that! Yes, I finally got myself a real Triplofusus giganteus which is very exciting 🤩 I also did not know that about the Prince Cone, but I didn't know much about it before I saw it for the first time here. It's amazing how much you know, Mikhail!! The Hysteroconcha lupanaria is really lovely; I hope you have one too? I wonder how I will display it now. Thank you so much, once again, for watching this bog unboxing video 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 Everything is fine, but now I almost can’t watch videos, much less shoot my own, but I’m glad that you’ll shoot Muddy👍! Yes, Ampullaria snails feel very good in the aquarium, they are easy to keep, they are striped, like yours, and artificially bred yellow, white and bluish, they grow the size of a fist 😌✊🐌
I love Triplofusus, giant snails🤗, I have an old big Triplofusus giganteus, but I have been wanting to buy more for a long time Triplofusus princeps
the second species of the genus Triplofusus.
No Maddie, I don’t have Hysteroconcha lupanaria in my collection, but it is such a well-known and to some extent iconic shell ✨ that I know it and it is quite rare here🤗. In general, I have very few bivalves, only tridacni, it seems lofa, and some other prehistoric bivalves.
Today we celebrate the annual big holiday International Women's Day, today is the day of flowers and gifts 🎁🌸🌸🌸, as far as I know, you don’t celebrate it, but I still congratulate you Maddie😊🌷🌷🌷!
Hello Maddie! The virgin nerite is my favourite with it's gorgeous pattern. I am now wondering why I have never come across a Mexican shelling video. Time for a TH-cam deep dive I think, haha. So kind of Erin to share these with you.
G’day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻💖 Did you end up finding any Mexican shelling videos? I think TH-cam will mostly show your videos based on your language and location, so it might be harder than expected to find videos with other languages, though Spanish is quite a big part of the USA, so you might have a better chance than stumbling into a Japanese shelling video (which I sorta found the other day??) Ahh, I have digressed. Oh wow, so the Virgin Nerite was your favourite 😍 I looked it up on iNaturalist; the Virgin Nerite is apparently a moderately common shell all around Florida?? I wonder why the Florida shelling videos never have them? Maybe they’re only a mangrove snail? 🐌 All I know is the Erin was incredibly generous to send these shells to me!! Thank you so much for sharing your time with watching the big unboxing and giving Erin such a lovely comment 🥰
@SandCoffeeRocks I am from Canada, not the USA, so Spanish is rare here and French is common. Good point about language being a barrier to finding shelling videos from Mexico. I found a couple by Americans visiting Mexico, but more of a travel video style, not informative about what they found. I tend to have a lot of accounts/videos suggested by TH-cam that are from Japan and the Philippines, maybe because both of those countries have close ties to my part of Canada, Prince Edward Island.
@@oceanluvngal Whoops 😬 I do get my wires crossed 😅 I even remember you saying that you were from Canada!! Oh cool, I'm going to look up some Philippines ones now too!!!
Loved that olive shell. Your enthusiasm is amazing Its a pleasure to join in on your adventures Thank You
G'day Donna 👋🏻🏖️ The white Olive Shell is such a lovely one! The large opening is so striking on it compared to others - it's very interesting to me!! Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing 🥰
Awesome collection!❤
G'day Green Thumb 👋🏻🐚 Thank you so much for watching this big unboxing 🤩 Erin really sent me some beautiful seashells 🎉
@@SandCoffeeRocks Hey Maddie. You know me. I’m just hiding so no channel. Had a few issues with people on old one causing problems so I got rid of it. It was Green too. I’m just not using my name at all.
Wow nice unboxing guys🎉❤
G'day Mr Find 👋🏻🐚 Thank you so, so much; I am incredibly honored to have received this wonderful gift from the other side of the world 🥰
That was great! Lettered olives prey on coquina clams in the surf zone and then scavenge when the opportunities arises--from a shelling book I have :-) The horse conch is like "teenage size" lol they get up to like 18-20"!! I was just speaking with a friend last night about how people say "conch"...we all say "con-K" and you all say it "con-CH" but I've never heard anyone say it like that over here....toe-MAY-tow, toe-MA-tow (tomato) I guess, lol. I appreciated the different dialect. I LOVE how you all say the Z's
G'day Roxanne👋🏻💖Ahhh so the Lettered Olived go after the Coquina clams! That's really cool to know; I thought they mostly ate other snails, rather than other molluscs, but this makes more sense. "Teenage size" also makes heaps of sense for the Horse Conch too, and I have seen photos/videos of the super large ones - they're just crazy huge 😂 Hehe, but Australia is the country with the largest seashell, so move aside Florida Horse Conch 😂 Don't mind me, I'm not competitive at all! Also, why do you all say "conk"? Oppositely, I think I've only ever heard the US shellers call a conch a conk. Very interesting indeed! Oh, a question, has this inspired you to do a shelling trip in Mexico? Actually, I think your Caribbean Island must have so many more amazing shells to see? Anyhoo! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch such a big unboxing 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks I have no idea but "conk" it is over here LOL! We have our own confusion over here with "Gaudy Nautic" too. (colorful moon snail, "Naticarius canrena"). Some people say, "Natica" which is actually correct and not sure how "Nautica" with a "u" got started...but I'm sure it's just different dialect. I say "Nautic". but anyways lol. The video I am dropping this Sunday is Sanibel after a winter storm and man there were SO many horse conch shells full grown size ALL over stranded--that was quite something to see! I found my 1st large one over there that trip. Mexico, yes, on the list! My list keeps growing hahahah but I can dream right! Take care and happy shelling!
@@FloridaBeachWalks Oh my goodness yes, I remember when someone send me a Gaudy Nautica, and I was trying to find the scientific name for it to put on screen and I had so much trouble!! I just couldn't connect the scientific name with "Gaudy Nautica"!! Oh wow Roxanne, I can't wait to see all of the Horse Conches in your next video - I'm looking forward to it!! Happy shelling to you as well!
I have two fav today,
1st is the big apple land snail
2nd is the comb venus (i always love spiny bivalves 😅)
Thank you for sharing those beautiful shells from Mexico Maddie and Aaron (or Eren) sorry I can't spell her name😢
G'day Nelly 👋🏻🐚💖 The shells were just beautiful ❤️ that Apple Snail is completely new to me, and yes, it's so wonderful! The Comb Venuses definitely deserve to be a favourite as well...I was shocked at the idea of these washing ashore with their spines unbroken!!
Aww Nelly, thank you for thanking Erin (I did accidently pronounce her name more like "Aaron" at one time 😅) I'm sure she is thrilled to see her shells being appreciated and loved by so many people. Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing today 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks me too, I'm still wondering it now,how it can survive, maybe it just one of magic thing tht wonderful nature can do,
Aha,Erin 💕
Dear Erin,your shells so wonderful, specially tht comb venuses, and tht big apple snail 🐌
Wait for your next adventure Maddie 🎉🔥🐌
@@nellyjune9828Thank you Nelly, I'm sure Erin will see your message and appreciate it very much 💕
Please please please....it's spelled conch but it is pronounced " conk"...understandable, you and shellcade have me cringing....florida girl
G'day Ingrid 👋🏻🐚 Aww, I'm sorry it makes you cringe 😅 actually, I was looking into this because Florida Beach Walks put a comment somewhere (here?) the other week that mentioned conk vs conch, so I looked into it 🤔 Both are correct if you can believe it 😁! As it turns out, "conk" is American English, and "conch" is British English. As an Australian, I prefer to use British English in my writing and pronunciation, such as: colour vs color, or "zehbra" vs your "zeebra" - its all correct depending on your region. Furthermore to support this, my online research indicated that people who preferred "conk" as the pronunciation are almost exclusively from the USA or Caribbean area (at least on the English speaking website forums and dictionary pages/videos that I checked), but "conch" seemed to be preferred in a lot of other places around the world. So, once again, I'm sorry to have made you cringe 😂 but I'm going to keep doing it as an Australia who uses British English. Don't hold it against me too much 🤣 and thank you so much for watching this big Mexican Seashell unboxing, I hope you enjoyed seeing some usual and unusual shells from around your side of the world 🥰
