Finding Seashells at Hervey Bay | Giant Paper Bubble

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- It's the afternoon session at Hervey Bay! I was looking for moon snails, and I sure found them... and so much more!! I am absolutely stoked with my giant Brown-lined Paper Bubble. In the past, I had heard that these shells could grow to lengths of over an inch, but I never thought that I'd be luck enough to come across one for myself! This one is just perfect, too. As always, thank you so much for watching~
Morning at Burrum Heads: • Finding Seashells at L...
Let me know which ones were your favourites ;D and if you enjoyed this and want to see more shell finding videos, I'd appreciate a like or a comment. I read all of them and try to reply when I can. You have no idea how much of a smile you guys put on my face. Thanks everyone!

I didn't even realise that Hervey Bay and it's surrounding beaches had such lovely seashells until I saw "Shellcade Shelling Down Under" - I admired him a lot, and you can also check out his videos here:

I’m sorry for dropping all of the shells this time 😅 My excuse should be that there was a tiny piece of a sea urchin spine (like a wood splinter) in my thumb...but truthfully, I didn’t notice it was there until many hours later 😂 Fun fact, ever time I collect sea urchins from Burrum Heads, I have at least one splinter to dig out by the end of the day 😆 Take care while picking up pointy things, kids!
Hey Maddie...I agree with your favorite today...the Brown Lined Paper Bubble...it was epic !! The swollen Wide-mouthed Top Shell was interesting and I always like it when you find the Dog Whelks. Thanks again and hugs from Ontario, Canada.................Wanda
G'day Wanda 👋🏻💖 Yes!!! Epic is the right word for this one 😁 I still can't believe that it was unbroken with all of the lined patterns intact; they can wear away to easily! I can't only imagine how large the snail must have been, I wish I could have seen it while it was alive. Oh wow, the Swollen Wide-mouthed Top Shell gets a mention too- it think it's a crowd favourite this time! Ahh and thank you, those Dog Whelks don't get enough love...but I guess they do look like a less interesting and smaller version of the Common Nutmegs from all of the Florida shelling videos, so I understand 🤣 I don't think my Jewelled Dog Whelks can have any patterns. Anyhoo! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Good morning, Maddie
Looks like you had a great day. The brown lined paper bubble was just so amazing. Love the wide mouth top shell. The turkey wing, all the scallops, the flat scallops are awsome, flinders shells, dog whelkes, the murexs all of them, the Haynes turban, the moon snails are just so different and lovely colors. There are so many shells today. They are all beautiful. I really enjoy all shells. Even with people stepping on a few of them. Thank you for another wonderful shelling adventure. Thank for sharing your time with us. It makes me relax and just enjoy how excited you get. I know I would be the same way. Hope you are doing well. Things are going slow but everyday a little better. Things are still very slow but I do see a little different everyday or almost everyday. With everything I went through was more than I ever expected.
Have a marvelous day Maddie
Thank you again.
G'day Toni 👋🏻🏖️ Oh yes, this was a nice day out at the beach(es); it's nice to be out in the sunshine on these cooler winter days. That Wide-mouthed Top Shell is a crowd favourite this time, I really like it, but it actually surprises me how many other people like it as well! I love how you always give a bit of love to all of the shells; those bivlaves need more than what I'm giving them, especially when those turkey wings are excellent from this beach 🤩 The murexes were a lot of fun to find, I'm glad I found a few on one side of the beach before going in the other directions to find more moon snails. Thank you so much for coming along on another big shelling adventure, I'm so happy that you enjoy seeing these little gifts from nature. Thank you for letting me know how you're doing. I know I say this a lot, but you're probably one of the strongest people that I know. Life puts you down, but you'll never stop it from letting you back up again. Have a wonderful week, Toni, and thank you so much for watching 🥰
The big sundial you found is very similar to what I find at Matagorda Beach. ☀️☀️☀️ I still pick up everyone I see even if it’s broken. That GIANT paper bubble was gorgeous! What a find. 🎉 The lamalite venuses are beautiful too! I’m really partial to the swollen wide mouth top shell. Love those flats! Too many favorites today!!! Thank you Maddie for another wonderful video! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 I suspect that our two Sundials from here and Matagorda may even be the same species?? I know, I usually don't say this because of the distance: we have similar shells, but never ones that are the same (Bladder Moon Snails VS Sharkeye) but this time??? I actually don't know enough about your sundials; I tried researching them in the past, but I came up with them being a Perspective Sundial too, and I never learned if that was right or wrong. I digress 😅. YES that Paper Bubble is HUGE! It's no longer a microshell, but a shell...shell!! The Lamellate Venuses were particularly nice today too, and gosh, a few people have mentioned the Swollen Wide-mouthed Top Shell this time; it was a lovely bit pale pink! Your favourite colour still? It sure was an interesting day! Thanks again for watching the big adventure 🥰
Hey Maddie! You always apologize for the wind yet i never hear it😁. You must have a good mic!
Today every one of the shells were my favorite 🤣. I just love all 🐚 shells.
Take care 🤩
G'day Mary Ann 👋🏻🏖️ Phew, I'm glad that you couldn't hear it...I was speaking up over the wind, so you can only hear it if you concentrate carefully with headphones on 😅 I really talk over it, but you'd know if I didn't! Awww I'm glad that all of the shells were the favourites this time 😁 that's how it should be!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Wow!! Brown lined bubble!! ❤ Great find!! 🎉🎉
G’day Hilary 👋🏻💖 It’s a real stunner! I don’t think I’ll ever find one this big again, or maybe not for a really long time? Or maybe...I need to take us on some more adventures around other mudflats along the Fraser Coast?! That’s for another day, I guess 🤣 Thanks for watching 🥰
🐞As always the propeller arcs. Thanks. 🐞
G'day Pearl 👋🏻🏖️ Oh wow, that's right; you like those Propeller Arcs 🤩 I wonder, do you prefer seeing the joined ones, or these larger individual ones? Or are they both good?? Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, that was an enormous bubble shell! That broken sundial was amazing too. Loved that wide mouth top shell, really unusual. Cute dog whelk. Always love a Haynes Turban. Hope the strombus was stink free😂
Very lovely end display ❤
G'day Alison 👋🏻🏖️ It's a massive bubble shell; a real 'into the cabinet' find!! The sundial was interesting... it gives me hope to someday find an intact one someda 😁 Ahhh, you know, I don't think I'd mind a stinky strombus a this point! I haven't found a nice one in ages; there are too many damaged and sunbleached ones that just aren't as nice as the disgusting stinky ones 😂 is something wrong with me?? Be honest!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, It is evening now. I loke the seollen wide mouthed top shell and the commercial scallops. Love shelling with you in spirit. Take care. XXOO TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 Oh wow, that Swollen Wide-mouthed Top Shell is getting a lot of mentions this time 😲 I guess I picked up a good one! Or maybe everyone likes the colour pink!! The Commercial Scallops were nice this time too 😁 the ones with the really pointy hinge points was the best! Thanks for watching another big adventure 🥰
Would love to see more of your shells after cleaning Maddie! 😃
G'day Sherrie 👋🏻🐚 Most of these shells are already pretty clean 🤔 Oh, do you perhaps mean the ones that are covered in the brown periostracum? I should show them much more often, I have a bunch of cleaned Pill Arcs that I should share (maybe a picture on Facebook this week?) Anyhoo! Thanks for watching the big adventure 🥰
Maddie that paper bubble was amazing 😍 but they are all wonderful. Thank you so much for what you do!!!!!
G'day Judi 👋🏻💖 Hehe that Paper Bubble is a big beauty 😍 I still can't believe it was sitting them to find! Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your kind words 😲!! I really appreciate them 🙏🏻 and thank you for watching the big adventure 🥰
Morning Maddie, I love all the shells today but I have three favorites and they are #1 had to go to the Brown lined paper bubble #2 is the swollen top shell and #3 is the vitate conch. I'm glad you had a great day. Love to you and ninja from all of us ❤❤❤❤❤❤
G'day Sheila 👋🏻💖 Hehehe yess, our top favourites match up!! I don't know if you're still picking them before I announce my own, but I think the Paper Bubble deserves all the love this time. That Swollen Wide-mouthed Top Shell was nice too; very light pink! I though the pink colour would be more vibrant, but this one didn't change much with the oil. Oh, and the Vitate Cone too! I hope yo someday find a perfect Vitate Cone; sometimes they even have patterns on the shell that are similar to Campbell's Strombuses. I hope you had a great weekend, and thanks for watching 🥰
My favorite is the bubble. It is cabinet worthy! Congratulations
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 It deserves to be the favourite this time 🤩 and yes, it's going straight into the cabinet! I need to do a moderate re-shuffle after the shell show next month...I'm going to have a lot to add ❤️ Thanks for watching, and for your support 💖
Love the small moon snails
G'day Edith 👋🏻🏖️ They sure are adorable! Maybe I'll collect enough to fill a mini jar with them someday? Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Loveee!!!
Such a delight to find your channel ,can’t wait to watch all your shell collecting videos🩶ྀིྀི !!
G'day Selena 👋🏻🐚 Oh wow, thank you again for finding me in this little corner of TH-cam 🤩 I have a lot of shell collecting video to browse...some are better than others though 😂 my really early adventures make me cringe now 😆 and not in a good way; it's almost like looking at my baby photos or something! Thanks again for watching these adventures 🥰 Don't overdo it 😂😉
I love the moon snails
G'day Julia 👋🏻🐌 The moon snails are just the best from here 😁 Thanks for watching 🥰
Nice shells Maddie!!
G'day Brenda 👋🏻🐚❤️ It was a wonderful day for finding shells, that's for sure!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I love the lamellate Venus clams, the surf clam is quite interesting for me. The big paper bubble is freaking awesome!❤
G'day Denise 👋🏻❤️ Ohhh I'm glad you mentioned those Lamellate Venuses; they were particularly lovely this time!! The surf clams too, I don't usually show them but they sometimes look quite interesting 🤔. I'm glad that you liked my favourite as well, I'm absolutely stoked to have it 😍 Thanks for watching 🥰
COOL SEASHELL HOW WONDERFULL
G’day Yohann 👋🏻🐚 I was lucky to find a few great shells before the water came back up 😁!
Wohoooooo Maddie,
Many moonsnails today, I love it🎉
Welllll...welll....my fav list:
1st the moonsnail from the footprint😂
2nd brown lined paper bubble
3rd vitate conch (idk why I like the shape and the white color of it)
The rest actually also pretty, including the bivalves,
Absolutely a very interesting video,thanks for tht Maddie 🎉❤
G’day Nelly 👋🏻💖 You’re up late, but luckily it’s the weekend 😂! Hahaha, that moon snail was perfectly squashed in the footprint, wasn’t it! I don’t think that felt good for the personal walking over it! Ah, so of course, the Brown-lined Paper Bubble is second; I’m glad that you liked that one too, the pattern on it was fantastic! Oh wow, number three was a true surprise 😲 the Vitate Conch! These Vitate Conches usually don’t have many patterns, but this one is maybe a bit beach worn...still, it’s shape is really nice on this species! Awww thank you for your kind words once again 🙏🏻 and thank you so much for watching so late at night 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks yoshhhhh😂,how the foot 🦶 survived from the moonsnail,
Ah so actually vitate conch has some pattern?,it still lovely for me 😻
Your welcome Maddie,I really enjoy your videos 😍📸, so informative and not boring,
And the display at the end of videos,I admire it
I think it has some patterns? The pictures on the internet for the Vitate Conch can be with or without patterns. I will have to search for me and find the to be sure! Oh gosh, thank you again for your lovely word Nelly. I hope you have a great start to you week 💖
Beautiful!
G'day Studio M 👋🏻🏖️ I'm so glad that you enjoyed this beach adventure too 😁 Thanks for watching 🥰
Wow amazing bubble 😍 that’s huge!
G'day Roxann 👋🏻🦀 I think you'd be hard pressed to ever see one that big! I was surprised that it's lined patterns were intact; they can wear away very quickly! Once again, thank you so much for watching the big adventures ❤️
Great trip for shells,Maddie 😊! This bivalve here
Placamen lamellatum is prized by collectors for its beauty🤗 But this interesting shell Stomatia phymotis, at first I thought it was a haliotis😅 Due to circumstances, I haven’t been filming or watching videos lately, but I’ll definitely watch the ones you made during this time😊
G'day Mikhail 👋🏻🏖️ Oh is it! I didn't know that it was a prized one; it's certainly beautiful enough! Do you think it is actually Placamen lamellatum? I had trouble with finding a perfect match on the Internet to these ones that I find at Hervey Bay. Ahhh yes, Stomatia phymotis is often confused for a haliotis shell! It's a really weird one. Another weird on that I mistook for a haliotis is a Stomatella impertusa; I found a tiny one many months ago that really confused me 🤣! Oh no Mikhail, I hope your busy circumstances pass quickly so that you can have a little more free time. I will spend this time catching up on your videos too. I think I have too many videos though, so maybe just pick the most interesting one 😂 Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 Yes, it happens here that Placamen lamellatum in good condition and with a beautiful shell sculpture was sold 10 ~ more expensive than on eBay and sites selling shells👀; honestly, I don’t know whether anyone bought it or not, but it happened😅. Probably bivalve lovers ended up buying it🙂.
Yes, I will disappear for a while, then probably in July I will make an issue about one of the most unusual👽 and famous cowries from South Africa, you can probably watch it, for it I will have to re-read a lot of different literature😂📚📖📚
@@mikhail-tikhonov Oh wow, I feel like I'd be rich if I sold me collection of Placamen Lamellatum 😂 but I don't think anyone bought the one you saw at that price! This reminds me that I need to create and account on the Shell Auctions website so I can have a look for myself! Ohhhh I am very interested in this Cowrie???!!! It's a shame that you'll be busy until July, but that is how life is sometimes 😔 So for this mystery Cowrie, is it a big one or a small one? Oh 👽, is it that, uhhh, one that looks like a fingerprint? I was thinking of buying one like that but it wasn't cheap... Capensis?? Did I guess right? Super excited to see, or to see something else 😆!! Anyways, I hope this month passes you quickly!
@@SandCoffeeRocks By the way, you can really open a shell store, Maddie☝I don't know how it's officially done, but you're full of shells👍👍👍. And you guessed a little wrong with the cowries😂, I’ll make a video about those cowries that live deep and wear a Maltese cross on their back😁. True, the condition of my shell is somewhat unsatisfactory and the cross is not particularly visible there🤭😂
By the way, you wrote above about Cypraeovula capensis, it’s a cool shell, I wouldn’t refuse one either😌
i love how knowledgeable you are about shells, it’s enviable. did you go to school to study this or is learning about them just a joyous hobby ?
G'day Alli 👋🏻🏖️ Ohhh no, no school for this shelling! I didn't know anything about shells until I started shelling a few years ago; I just learned a lot while doing this TH-cam channel; putting the names on-screen has really helped me to commit them to memory! Otherwise, I might not have learned so quickly or as accurately 😂 Thanks for watching 🥰
Beautiful shells. My favorite today is paper bubbles is huge and murex ,flat scallop 🥰🫠.
G’day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 That Brown-lined Paper Bubble wasn’t a microshell anymore, it was like a macroshell! Ahh, sorry, I was doing a bit if wordplay, but it doesn’t make much sense 😅 Ohhh and the murex and bug Flat caught your eye too 🤩 they’re wonderful Hervey Bay shells! Thanks for watching 🥰
@SandCoffeeRocks Please, Maddie. Really beautiful shells. In Greece, there are many murex and bubbles everywhere, but in brown color, at least as far as I have found. Have a nice day 😊 🫠.
Oh WOW! Bubbles and Murexes are lovely shells! Brown is a nice colour too, but I understand wanting a variety. I think you should maybe be more interested in their beautiful textures instead of the colours ;) Also, do different beaches in Greece have different shells?
COOL SCALLOPS OH WOW SO COOL DO YOU KNOW THAT I SUBSCRIBE TO YOU WOW BEAUTIFUL SEASHELLS MY FAVORITE SEASHELLS ARE TIGER COWRIE🐯
G’day again, Yohann 👋🏻🏖 Ohhh the Scaly Scallops and the Commercial Scallops are really cool, aren’t they, but they’re not quite as lovely as your favourite Tiger Cowires! Oh actually, I have no way of knowing who subscribes to me unless they make their subscriber list public 😲 it’s turned off by default to protect people’s privacy 😉 but I know now, so I will say: Thank you for subscribing! I appreciate it, and thank you so much for watching the video 🥰
High Maddie 👋
Interesting booty I may say 🤩 hecatomb of moon snails 😂 and gem +++ : brown-lined paper bubble Hydatina phisis..
Swollen wide-mouthed top shell Stomatia phymotis .. lamellate venus Placamen lamellatus .. Antiquated surf clam Mactra antiquata.. and Tapes conspersus, the finely lined venus clam, All just gorgeous finds 🤩💖💖💖💖💖 just so fantastic moment in Queensland with a great Maddie 👏👏👏 Francesco
G'day Francesco 👋🏻🐌❤️ Ohh you found the episodes with the biiiiiig Hydatina physis! I'd heard stories about how big they could grow, but I never thought I'd find one like this. There was a lot of other interesting shells; that Stomatia phymotis is a rarer one at this beach, though it's slightly more common elsewhere in this vacinity 🤔 I see a lot of bivalves caught you eye too! There are so many different kinds in Hervey Bay...and Australia in general! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Maddie sea urchins 3rd technicly 2nd
G’day Ari 👋🏻❤️ Hahaha yes, you’re technically 2nd today! Wow, I wonder need tasty prize it is this time? Maybe a cupcake 🧁! The sea urchins were super cool; it’s strange that I find so many at the beach up the road, but I never see them here! They are super cool. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Why dont you pick up the clam shells there cool to
Good question 🤔 I think it’s mostly because there are thousands of them on the beach, and many of them are worn or sun-bleached. They’re very common like this, and they don’t hold my interest as much as the fresher ones (with more colours and textures intact), so in the end, I don’t pick up a lot of clam shells. I did collect a few though, those Antiquated Surf Clams are cool when they’re shiny and joined like that! Thanks again for watching another big adventure ❤️🐚
Where is the Hervey bay maddie
G’day Darlene 👋🏻🐚 It’s on the Fraser Coast of Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 land of the kangaroos 🦘😂 Thanks for watching 🥰
