G'day Ari 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my goodness, you are so sweet ☺️❤️ Thank you so much for watching 🍪🧁

G'day Jane 👋🏻🐚 Oh nice!! I didn't realize there were Arabians up there, I figured there would be the same shells as the mudflats in Yeppoon. Awesome, I wish I had've stopped there on my way back from Yeppoon a few months ago...I was torn between Tannum Sands and Woodgate. I decided on checking out Woodgate because if it was good, I'd be able to say trip to there. Unfortunately, it was not so good for shells 😅 nice little town, but not for shelling. Thanks for the info, it definitely a spot that I'll check out someday. Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ Haha, this cracked me up?!! At first I thought of this as a bit morbid, because I show the empty shells like "yep, ol'cousin Bob there kicked the bucket last week and ended up in a shelling video" 😂 Ahhh, and that I realized that yes, I do show enough live shells for this to me a lot less morbid 🤣 Sorry, I made it weird, but it still cracked me up in the most good natured way possible??? Thank you for your kind words and the humor 😉 and thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Annie 👋🏻💖🏖️ Haha, yeah I think a lot of kids and families are just there to enjoy the beach...it also helps that they left to go to lunch elsewhere 😂 so there was still a few goodies around! Money cowries are super common in other parts of the world, but they hardly pop up here for some reason 🤔 that One crowned cone was in very nice condition, I can see why it caught your eye 👀 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 There were some lovely cowries this time 🤩 and that Hairy Triton really pops too! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

@@SandCoffeeRocks You're welcome 😊

G'day Pam 👋🏻🐚 I have a feeling that they could potentially grow even larger 🤔?? But that should be close to that specie's maximum size! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Bonnie Julien 👋🏻🐚 Ohhh, I don't know if I knew it was your favourite 🤩 they're an especially lovely kind of shell, aren't that; so unique and interesting with that hairy periostracum 😲 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 It's a cowrie that's been on my list to find for ages...it just took longer than expected? It was worth it though, this is on nice Money Cowrie 🥚🍳 Hehe, "runny egg" is the best description to differentiate it from a Ring-top Cowrie 😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Fayetah 👋🏻🌊 Hello to you in Texas 🌎 Oh yes, those tides got super low with the super full moon here last week!! It's amazing to see the beach as these times, the rock pools look so different! Thank you for watching another shelling adventure 🥰

G'day Jeff 👋🏻🏖️ Those Giant Hairy Tritons (still with hair) are always one of the best kinds of shells to find 🤩 but like you, I also gave a favourite to all of the lovely cowries ❤️ Thank you for joining me for coffee once again...next adventure should be a longer one; you might have a second coffee with it!! Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Donna 👋🏻💖 That Monkey Cowrie is a cuties; it's also nice to see a different kind of cowrie sometimes! I still have a few other cowries from here that I've never found, but they're mostly reef dwelling ones...I feel like I might have some luck someday with them too, though! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Di 👋🏻🏖️ It was a very nice trip 😲 especially with those lovely Thorny Oyster. Sometimes the variety isn't as much as the home beaches, but some days are even better 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Julia 👋🏻🐚 They're really amazing and fresh from this beach 🏖️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Trina 👋🏻🏖️ Hehe, thank you! And thanks for watching another big adventure 🥰

G'day Tish 👋🏻🐚 Thank you, I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this big unboxing 😁

G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 That Pearl Oyster was really cool, wasn't it! It's a bit like the wing oysters you find 😲 I think wing oysters are called that because of their more stream-lined shape? Anyhoo! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 There was so much Pink Lace Coral, I was quite surprised 😲 there was a wonderful variety of lovely shells, but that Textile Cone would have been the cherry on top it it was empty. the Sundials work as the perfect finishers instead. Ahhh, thank you for your kind words 🙏🏻 truthfully, I wasn't pleased with how the final display turned out, but oh well 😅 I am maybe my worst critic. Also, wait, you don't call big waves a "dumper" over there 😂? We call them dumpers over here, or maybe that's more of a surfing term, because they're going to dump you under 🌊 As always Alison, thank you so much for watching 🥰

G’day Edith 👋🏻🐚 Ohh I feel like I remember you saying that before 😉 but which mini shells are the favourite?? I think I find dozens of small species here, so if there one that you end up liking the most? Thanks for watching 🥰

Hey Fi 👋🏻🐚 Oh no, you'd better arrest all of the four year old kids that pick up a shell souvenir on their school holidays 😂 I'll stop joking around now 😉 I don't know why you think it's illegal, or who told you that it is, but I can assure you that it's not illegal to take shells from most places around Australia. It's changes from state to state, and some areas are classed as "green zones" where fishing and shelling are illegal (small patches of some coastal areas, but the biggest is naturally the GBR). National parks don't allow for shell collections, but that also changes from state to state depending on the fisheries regulations; it's actually legal to collect shells from national parks in Queensland, though I don't think so in all other states 🤔 but I'd have to look into it. This is info I was given by a local national park worker here in Queensland, mind you. Overall, the recreational collection of empty shells is allowed almost everywhere other than those places, and certainly in the places where I collect from. So, next time you go to the beach, don't feel guilty for collecting a shell that you like, it's perfectly fine and acceptable ☺️ and if you're still unsure, you can call your state's fisheries department for more info (their website is a mess, at least for Qld, so you're better off talking to a real person for the answers). Thanks for watching 😁

@@SandCoffeeRocks I double checked it, what I found is not large amounts, like not over 10k, and not at all in marine reserve precincts and national parks. I used to spend a lot of time up port Macquarie and got told more than once - no shells, no nothing at all- maybe I was in some precinct. All I know now is that I want to go to Q and shell hunt!!!

@@fijaystudio Yessss Fi!!!! Be that glorious shell collector that you want to be!!! I have also read the 10kg (per day!!! That's still MASSIVE) is in NSW, I have never been able to find out what the bag or weight limit is for shells in Qld. Port Macquarie said that, huh? I looked online and don't see any Marine Parks there, though there are some in other sections of the NSW coastline. More info at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/marine-protected-areas/marine-parks NSW has plenty of great shelling places! Some areas of Woolgoolga (I think parts are no collection zones, but others are totally fine) Hastings Point, Coff's Harbour or areas to the north of it, Yamba, these are just some places I've heard of for shelling, but I haven't visited them yet. Lots of areas in Northern NSW have wonderful shells and cowries. If you ever come to Qld to go shelling, then look at Hervey Bay and the Sunshine Coast; you can always send me a message if you want some local pointers to some safe collecting places 🐚 live your best life!!

G'day Di 👋🏻🏖️ Hehe, I think you picked the best shell families from the bunch 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 Oh my goodness, you can never be "far behind" here; just enjoy them at your own pace 😉 I'm glad that you did like the adventure though, there were so many cowries to pick and choose from!! The Donkey does deserve to be a favourite 🦓 it's just too cute! Same with the Lynx and Cat Cowries...gosh, they're either named after animals or food, aren't they?? Haha, those Shouldered Triton; it was all I could do to not drop or throw it away in surprise 🤣😅 the crab sure has a nice home 🦀 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Annie 👋🏻🏖️ I felt like a super nerd saying that, because it reminded me of the Pokemon games 😅 I, even as an adult, do still like those games from my childhood...it might be why I like "catching" all of the shells 🐚 ahhh don't mind me. Hehe, speaking of goodly sized, that Sundial was large for the species 🤩 gotta love the giant mini shells, as much as that sounds like an oxymoronic term 😁 the little Bird Cardita is a cute too. As always, thank you so much for watching the warm adventures 🥰

G'day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻☘️❤️ Hehe, I think if you sit on the sand and go into the "zen state" then you will start to see the shell shapes more against the sand texture 😁 the paper figs was a nice larger one on a day like this, but that Cat Cowrie was a bit cuter 🐈 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ There was a lot of variety in this one...my shell display was a bit of a mess at the end because I didn't quite know how to work them all together 😂 So many limpets this time!! The different sundials were a nice find, and the larger pearl oyster too 🤩 Ohh and you're the second person to mention how interesting it was to see the different cowrie growth stages...I should try to do that more often if the opportunity presents itself 🤔 seeing the differences is really interesting and informative 😲 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰

G'day Shell 👋🏻🐚 Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏻 I'm pleased that you enjoyed seeing the different shells today, thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Bonnie Julien 👋🏻🏖️ Thank yoooou!!! There was a lot of variety in this big episode 🐚 thank you so much for taking the time to watch the extra long adventure 🥰

G'day Wanda 👋🏻💖 The Lettered Mitre is so good; I wish I had given it a favourite at the end, but I overlooked it in the display...oops 😂 Thank you for giving it some love ❤️ and the sundials as well, they're cuties!! Oh, I'm so glad you liked that big Eroded Cowrie as well 🤩 this is truly a beautiful place, thank you for exploring this beach with me once again 🏖️🥰

G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 There was quite a lot of shells in this one from two days of shelling 🤩 been doing a lot of beach trips lately, so have yielded more shells than others; I have to remind myself to show the shells that I might not usually be interested in personally. Summer here starts on December 1. We are already in spring, it started on the first of the month for us... technically, anyway 😅 that's just how we do it here. Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 That little discrepant Venus was a nice contract to the big pearl oyster. The sundials are a wonderful mention, but gosh, you have reminded me that I forgot to mention that Lettered Mitre - I wanted it to be a favourite, but I overlooked where I put it at the end (it was way at the top tucked in behind something). Wow, the top favourite is the big adult Eroded Cowrie, and the sub-adult Eroded Cowrie 😲 it was nice to see a comparison of growth states, wasn't it 🤩 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Bree 👋🏻🏖️ You had some really good luck down there, well done on your shelling trip 🐚 Oh the pearl oyster here was nice; did you find any as well? Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 The limpets were really nice this time 🤩 Lots to pick and choose from, so I found a couple of good ones to show 😉 same with the pearl oyster as well! Oh, you're not the first person to mention how cool it is to see a comparison of the different growth stages of the cowries; it really is quite interesting to see how the shells appearances can change over time 😲 Oh my goodness, the jewel box lid is a favourite along with the Rosy Spindle Cowrie...I haven't forgotten how much you like pink 💖 Once again Pam, thank you so much for joining me on these adventure 🥰

G'day Di 👋🏻🏖️ The Paper Fig is a fun find here, it really isn't easy to spot one in the rock pools or sand 😲 The Pearl oysters have been a common sight...I just don't pick up enough of them 😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Marcy 👋🏻🏖️ Hello to you in Michigan, thank you for joining me for so long 😲 and learning the names with me, I feel like it's been a process for everyone; viewers and myself. Hehe, I thought my videos are more able bumbling around and saying the occasional nerd stuff 😂 I'm thiiiiis close to renaming the channel as "Shell Nerd" 🤓 I'm not even kidding, I've been thinking of changing the channel name more and more lately, ahhh... Oh!!! The orange swirly shell, I know the one you're talking about; it was a last minute decision to cut that one from the video because I thought the episode was running for too long, and it is a common shell. It's actually a very, very large sized pheasant shell like what I usually find and display around the edges of the display in many episodes. Perhaps I should have left it in after all, it was much larger than usual for this species, so it was interesting in its own way 😅 of I ever restart making the outtakes videos on Facebook, then I'll put it there eventually, though I'm about 40 episodes behind on that endeavor. Ohh before I get sidetracked on another tangent, what kind of snails do you find? I'm assuming land or fresh water snails; do you ever find those big mystery/apple snails? They're super cool too!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

@@SandCoffeeRocks hi again maddie ! thanks for your reply. I'm a shell nerd too, but with A LOT less shell variety. the snail species I find on the beach of this inland fresh water lake (ancient glacial) is the St. Lawrence pondsnail....1/2 inch long and usually bleached white. the invasive zebra mussels are one inch or less and have the coloring of a turkey wing before the sun bleaches them white. The freshwater clams are 3 inches or less, elong- gated, flat, and have beautiful nacre inside. I've actually been to Hervey Bay and found a 1/2 Propeller Arc and a Hercules Club (mud) Whelk.....I should have walked further down towards the mangroves ! pleaseeee continue to be your best shell 🐚 nerd self.....you have many fans.

I forgot to say that Pheasant shell was gorgeous and huuuuge !! I looked up the snail from Crystal Lake (near Traverse City, Michigan) and it's a Stagnicola Emarginata....looks like a small fresh water Periwinkle. thanks for all you do ! I also subscribe to SWF Beach Life and she collects on the gulf of Mexico in central Florida and Sanibel Island (check out the Sunray Venus Clams and small Wentletraps).
