- This time the treasure wasn't only the seashells, but also a spearfishing spear! I will never use it, but it seemed like a waste to just throw it out... and now I have no idea what to do with it? Oh well, it's more junk for the garage now! Thanks for watching!

G'day everyone! Wow, you're actually reading the description? Um, thank you! You will be rewarded with extra content... my Facebook page (link above) is loaded with out-takes and deleted scenes that don't make it into the UA-cam videos. Check out the extra funsies over there if you're desperate for more shelling content ;D

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

Good morning, Maddie
You found amazing shells today. The drupe, worm, and music cones are all beautiful. The Nerites are beautiful. Loved seeing the live critters. The crab was just too cute. Thank you for another wonderful shelling adventure. I hope you have a great day, Maddie
G'day Toni 👋🏼🌊❤ This one was a really fun adventure! I found a lot of live creatures (and beach junk) to even out the shell finds... it was a little slow at times! Still, I was super happy with the tuban, drupe, cowries, nerite, and cones. I hope you are doing well today. Take care of yourself, and thank you so much for watching ❤ and for waiting for my very slow reply this past week!
Another fun day with you Maddie. Too many shells to pick my favorites. Have a great rest of the weekend. 🌵🌺🌿🇺🇸🐕💕
G'day Guadalupe 👋🏻💖 Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I had a big weekend away, and it was terrific!! It might have been my favorite weekend all year 😀 I hope you're having a great week now as well ❤️ and thanks for watching 🥰
Good Morning Maddie! Always a great way to start my day. Love exploring with you. Thank you for sharing the live critters with us. Beautiful Rose Petal snail, just amazing looking.! New shelling goal- go down under and go shelling with Maddie! What fun that would be. Finding cowries and cones would be absolutely wonderful. And other shells, too! 🐚😀
G'day Melissa 🐚 Awww thank you so much for all of your kind words ❤ I'm so pleased that you liked seeing the live creatures... even the creepy fire worm!! I'm with you though; that Rose Petal Snail was an absolute beauty. Hahaha if you make it over to Australia, then we definitely need to have a beach meetup (if you're not too jet-lagged 😂). I hope you're having a great start to your weekend, and thank you so much for watching ❤
Great video Maddie! Thanks so much for showing the live sea creatures (rose petal paper bubble, worm, live cowrie, etc) as well! 😃❤
G'day Sherrie 👋🏻💖 Oh my goodness, the live sea creatures were a fun sight in this one!! Huuurrrrr that Bristle Fireworm was a bit freaky though!!!! I much preferred seeing the live cowrie and Rose Petal bubble snail 🐌❤️ Thanks for watching 🥰
Cool video today! 🎉 always love the sea life. The fire worm 🪱 freaked me out. 😬 The last snakehead cowrie was gorgeous. Love the orange drupe 🍊 and military turban. My favorite today was the operculum. You favor your nerites and I favor the operculums. 😂 We like what we like! Thank you Maddie! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 Yeah that Fireworm is bad news; I can't understand how the majority of people think that it's a good idea to walk around the rock pools with bare feet 😱 imagine standing on that? Thankfully, there are a lot of other much nicer things to see in the rock pools as well 😁 Haha, yesss you do love the Operculums! I think they would make great jewellery pieces, is that why you like them so much? As always Pam, thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, Mr Crabbes!😊 That was a beautiful bubble 🐌. Oh yes the stick of destiny will be very useful encouraging shells out from under rocks. Love a drupe. Some very nice snake head cowries. Yes, mr bristle worm needs to go back in his hole😮.
The military turban was a nice specimen.
I can’t choose between the drupe and the military turban as my favourite.
Lovely display as usual, thank you Maddie. ❤xxxx
G'day Alison 👋🏼❤ It was a fun adventure, even if the shell finds were few and far between at times! I really liked that Rose Petal Bubble Snail - it's always a treat to see one in the rock pools. Hahaha aahh yes, the stick of destiny; I think everyone needs one, except maybe a little less pointy 😂! Need something to bat away those fire worms! As for a favorite; pick both shells! Actually, I do think the Orange Drupe is a little nicer 😍 Thank you so much for watching ❤ and thank you for waiting for my reply after a big weekend away (and then some more because I was a little slow all week 😂).
Hi 👋🏼 Maddie! So many favorites today! The Orange Drupe is an automatic favorite 😍 The Periwinkle Shell is really nice.. The Military Turban is also really nice. And the Double Banded Snail 🐌 is really pretty. Shoutout to the Chameleon Nerite and the little Music Cone😍 I can’t wait to see where we go next! Thanks my friend for another fun get together! Take Care and TTFN 👋🏼 ❤
G'day Mimi 👋🏼❤ Hehehe, the nice Orange Drupe really stole the show this time! Oh wow, and the periwinkle got a mention even before the Military Turban. Goodness, just reading your comment now; I actually forgot about some of these shells that I collected!! That Double Banded Snail was a really nice surprise, wasn't it?? Thank you so much for watching ❤ and for waiting for my reply after a long weekend away (and a subsequent lazy week after returning 😂)
Hello Maddie 👋🌊 The double banded moonsnail is my favourite shell from today. Very eye-catching! Special mentions for the snakehead cowries, leafy oyster, and Hebrew cone. Thanks for all if gge time and effort you put into making these fun videos.
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏼🌊❤ Ohhh gosh, that Double Banded Moon Snail really stood out to me too... I think it should have been the main favourite; it's patter and colours are so nice! Your special mentions are pretty spot-on too; actually, looking back on this one, I really do like so many of the shells that I collected. Thank you so much for your kind words, and thank you so much for watching ❤ and for waiting for my very late reply!
Hi Maddie, No favorite today. Loved them all. Lovrd the live seashells and especially the very nice worm. So unusual. Thank you and take care. Love, TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 Sometimes it's one of those kinds of days without a real favourite 😉 and other times, there are too many favourites!! The live creatures were fabulous...but that worm was a bit of a terror! I wouldn't walk around the rock pools with bare feet with that thing around!! Thanks for watching 🥰 and for waiting for my reply after a big weekend away 🙏🏻
Maddie, do you know what needs to happen right? We need a spearfishing video now. All I can picture is you fishing out below those waves? Lol!!! 😉😉😉
G'day Lindsay 👋🏻💖 Hehe, well, I do still have the spear...but...I don't know if I have it in my heart to spear a living thing. Ok, let's be honest, I would completely miss any kind of fish, but still!!! Ahh, what am I going to do with this pointy stick of destiny 🤣 Thanks for watching 🥰 and for waiting for my reply after a big weekend away 🙏🏻
Oh Maddie, that Rose Petal Snail…was SOOOOO beautiful! Just WOW. Thx for sharing that-it made my evening seeing that beautiful critter of Gods. I think those and the Flamingo Tongues alive are just stellar! The underwater foliage at 6:31 was so beautiful! The worm guy was freaky-good heavens sticking your hand in those rocks was freaky after seeing that lol. Loved that live one with the purple aperture 😍! Wonderful shells.
G'day Roxann 👋🏼🌊 I was legit freaked out when the Rose Petal Snail was swept away in that gentle wave - they are so delicate! I was glad to see that it was fine though; it's such a beautiful and lucky creature to find in the rock pools. Oh wow, I should check up with the Flamingo Tongues look like alive as well, I bet they're gorgeous. Also, do you get anything like those Bristle Fireworms over in the USA? My friend, Mr Sheller, touched one once; he said the bristles broke off in his hand like splinters, but kept shattering when he tried to removed them. Painful, and festered up real bad. Not sure when it happened, but the memory has stuck with him for all this time 😮 Don't touch strange new things... especially if they're in Australia 😂 Ahhh anyhoo! I'm really glad that you enjoyed seeing the creatures and the flora as well! Thank you so much for watching ❤
@@SandCoffeeRocks I don’t think I’ve heard of anything like those fire worms in Florida- but I’m sure there’s something creepy out there! The closest thing I’ve ever come to was like a snake looking eel thing once in the rock pools at MacArthur in Palm Beach. I hear you on that one-I’m not touching a thing that I don’t know about!! Poor Mr. Sheller!! Mercy 😱 I’ve heard of a stinging plant called “fire grass” that will slap or wrap around whatever gets near it and sting to the point of needing medical attention my mom was telling me about that plant in Guyana 🇬🇾
Thanks so much for your wonderful content Maddie. I look forward to every video. So simple. So happy. So many seashells. I love it! 🖤🖤🐚🖤🖤 Big Hugs from a Mile High in Colorado, Jas
G'day Jas 👋🏻💖 Thank you so, so much 🎉 I was expecting more shells to wash up (or be eaten by octopuses) for the winter so the videos have been a little smaller at the home lately. I'm really glad that you still like them; I always hope to make something entertaining or interesting if I can! In other news: I was chatting to my friend Mr Sheller (we were both looking around at a shell show in a place called Yeppoon this weekend), and he's actually touched a bristle fireworm!! He said it was absolutely awful and painful; the bristles shatter and get stuck in your fingers...I didn't know that, I just though they were fluffy, but toxic, things 😅 poor fella! I should have some longer videos coming up soon with some new but windy beaches to look forward to 😉 Thanks for watching 🥰 and once again, thank you so, so much for your support 🙏🏻❤️
Mornin' from Wisconsin USA Maddie, always a great way to start my day watching your video. Thanks for sharing, all nice shells.
G'day Jeff 👋🏻🏖️ Awww thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ and for choosing to start your day with me at the beach! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hey Maddie! Great adventure today! Loving the Snake Heads! The Zebra Volute was gorgeous! That live Ring Top was very special! You’ve really got me wanting a beach day but it’s summer so the beaches are way too hot and way too crowded right now. Thanks for a fun trip!
G'day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻☘️❤️ Oh my goodness, I hope that you can get to the beaches sometime soon...it's no fun going when it's crowded; I try to avoid them during the summer holidays as well! Maybe a low tide trip very early in the morning would work? I hope you find some great shells out there! Thanks for watching 🥰
G'day Maddie! You are very brave to spend so much time shelling where so many critters can harm, if not kill, you...cones, octopuses, jellyfish, eels, and now we learn of bristle fire worms. ☠️ 😱 After braving those dangers, you deserve all the lovely shells you find! The live rose petal and spindle whelk were gorgeous. As for those you collected, I am always hard-pressed to name a favorite; they are all so wonderful and exotic for me. I think the zebra volutes are very elegant and the blue sand snail and double-banded moon snail were especially nice. The anticipation and excitement for my visit to Australia in September and October grows with each new episode you publish! Thanks so much for filming! Regards from Jan in land-locked Austria.
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 Hahahahaaaaa I think there are a lot of crazy critters and animals everywhere, so what's one more to add to the bunch?? Also, that's once of the reason why I'll always wear water shoes while shelling... I can't believe how many people go bare foot with things like fireworms and cone snails and so many other nasties. And like you said, for all of the scary stuff, there are also wonders like the Rose Petal Snails and the beautiful shells, of course. Also, between you and me, the shells here still feel exotic to me too?? I've only been shelling for 2 years, but they still seem like things that should be from an alien planet; they're too cool for Earth! Ohhhh VERY EXCITING!! Where abouts in Australia are you visiting, if you don't mind me asking? I think you might have mentioned it in broad stroked before, but I can shamelessly say that I have forgotten for right now... Ok, a little shamefully, sorry about that. As always Jan, thank you so, so much for watching ❤
Hi again! Our trip to Australia includes stays in: Darwin (hopefully with time to hunt for a few shells), Kakadu National Park, Alice Springs and Uluru (probably not too many shells there), just one night at the Gold Coast, Lamington National Park, Mooloolaba (for a couple of days shelling at Point Cartwright and surrounds), Hervey Bay (maybe a couple of brief possibilities to do some shelling), Fraser Island, Brisbane (not at the beach), and 12 nights in Melbourne (visiting our son, who is doing a 3-year post doctorate position at the Uni. of Melbourne). I'm not sure we will get to a beach while in Melbourne, although, after seeing the shells you were sent from that area, I would love to include some shelling there as well. Once-in-a-while, I must allocate some time to other activities with my hubby, who is not as passionate about shelling as I am. However, he loves walking the beaches while I hunt for shells, so things usually work out well. We are staying at Mooloolaba and Hervey Bay so I can visit some of your standard shelling locations. I will be sure to wear shoes! Perhaps we will run across each other, that would really be something!
Hi Maddie I like the limpet. The pattern is so pretty. Have a great of your weekend 😊
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 Ohh that limpet was surprisingly nice wasn't it!! I usually forget the name of that one; I always end up calling it a Rayed Limpet, but I'm sure it has a different name 😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰 I'm still playing catch-up everywhere after the big weekend, so thank you for waiting so long for my reply 🙏🏻
Finders keepers, stick of destiny, hehehe 😂 score!
I'd love to go for a wander through those rock pools with you!
G'day Lauren 👋🏻🏖️ Hehe yes, this was a nice finders keepers...but, I don't think I'll ever use the spear for anything except for as a stick in the garden 🌲?? Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Great video...Thanks for putting in the time ❤
I really like the drupes those bumps are irresistible.
Have a great day 😊
G'day Donna 👋🏻🏖️ Oh goodness, thank you for the kind words ❤️ Hehe, those Drupe shells are pretty lovely, aren't they!!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰 and for waiting for my reply after a big weekend away 🙏🏻
Hey Maddie....I think today I enjoyed all the "live" critters that you found. the Rose Petal Snail was beautiful and the Fine -net Spindle Whelk was lovely...all that purple on the opening looked amazing ! Not so sure about that Bristle Fire Worm ? I hate worms...lol...thanks for sharing...cheers from Ontario, Canada.........Wanda
G'day Wanda 🐚 Hahaha, you have to take the awesome live creatures with the creepy/scary ones too! I'm right there with you though; give me the cute Rose Petal Snails and the whelk snails over the dangerous Firworms any day! Thank you so much for watching, and for waiting for me to catch up on my messages this week 😀
Hi maddie❤Thank you for gorgeous shelling🥰🥰🥰my favorites are all cowries.I love them😊
G'day Hurriyet 👋🏻🏖️ The cowries are lovely 😍 especially those glossy Snakeheads!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
So many beautiful shells. 😍
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 I had a great day! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie! My favourite today is the first worm cone 😁
G'day Susan 👋🏻💖 That first Worm Cone was a nice one 🤩 it's really cool to see the uptick in less common cone species lately. Thanks for watching 🥰
what a great find today...lots of patterns and textures...My favorite image was the rose petaled snail. Do you ever find abalone?
G'day Leslie 👋🏻💖 Oh yes, the patterns and textures were lovely and varied this time!! The Rose Petal Snail was a lovely one to see in the rock pools that morning; it was an extra frilly one!! Ahhh abalones...I sometimes find small ones (the Brazier's Abalone and the Honey Abalone are the two species I've found here in the past), but they are uncommon to see. I've never seen them live either. I think there are more abalones to find at the beaches around the southern coasts of Australia 🤔 I know that I was sent some nice ones from Victoria, Australia. Anyhoo! Thanks for watching 🥰
Amazing finds for a holiday search.
G'day Danielle 👋🏻🐚 Annnnnnd now the holidays are over, and the rain is back 😂 but yes, I think I was very lucky to find what I did on the usually picked over beach. Have you been having any shelling luck down your way? Or was it even busier and more picked over?? Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks the rain washed most of the shells away from Caloundra however I found a couple of little treasures .
@@Danstarla I'm glad you got something! It's funny how the wind and rain will either bring in a bunch or take it away...maybe it washed over to a different beach??
@@SandCoffeeRocks or it got covered in sand. Will have to wait and see.
9:06 Wow, Maddie, what strange underwater inhabitants you met 👀😂
And the caputserpentis is interesting, one is almost black, and the second has a light back😊
G'day Mikhail 🐚 I'd like to meet less of those Fireworms 😂 They are a bit too scary! Oh yes, the colour variation on the caputserpentis shells at this beach is rather nice 🐌 I never know what the next one will look like! I am still catching up on all of my messages after coming back from Yeppoon last weekend... Maybe I just became a little lazy after the big trip?? Thank you for waiting for my replies, and thanks for watching 😀
@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 Yes, these worms are very scary🙀😸 It's okay, Maddie😊🤟 I myself just returned from the Black Sea, although I didn’t film anything about shells there, I just rested a little and sunbathed😅🏖
Lovelyyyy morning there 😍😍
Whoaaa,your eyes really good,can see lovely seashells even among the piles,
Soooo,my fav today is the Drupeeeeee, it is one of my dream shell (i still can't find it here 😢)
Btw, i was watching your video while cleaning my seashells i got from last Friday 😂
I really addicted to seashells 😂
Thanks for a wonderful video Maddie,be careful of sharp things on the beach ,
G'day Nelly 👋🏼❤ Ohhhh no, I think I must miss a lot of the shells; this time, a girl walked in a section after me and found a few big old Arabians than I had missed! Oh well~
I hope you find some drupe shells soon... have you tried checking some new or different beaches? They might just like a different habitat? Or maybe you will find a new type of drupe! Also Nelly, I love seeing the shell pictures you post on Instagram, you find some amazing shells too!!
Thank you so, so much for watching ❤ I have been trying to catch up on writing back to my messages, but I am very slow with it. Thank you for waiting so long for a reply.
@@SandCoffeeRocks whoaaaaaaaa,a big Arabian,must be so pretty 😍, sometimes our eyes really deceptive🤣
I've been to other beaches,but i found nothing 😞,even other good seashells,idk why😭
Thank u Maddie, I'm the one really admiring your display,i don't have enough patience to do tht 🤣
Can you share with us the books you use as reference?
G'day Natalia 👋🏻🏖️ Good question! For me, it's mostly a few shell books and websites that focus on my region in the world. I don't know where you live, but if you're in Australia, then maybe you will find this useful: ua-cam.com/video/aZ_gKiE-O3o/v-deo.html I go through my process for how I identify my seashells (the description in that video also has all the useful website links that I use). Since then, I have some across a few more shell books that I can recommend as useful resources for identifying cowries (mostly in Australia and Indo-Pacific areas) which includes: 2002 Sea Shells by Neville Coleman. A bit expensive. If you actually live around the east coast of Australia, I can also recommend: Cowries of New South Wales by David Tarrant. I don't own this book, but I friend let me flip through their copy. I was quite impressed with it because it shows multiple examples of how each cowrie species of NSW (and surrounding states) can look with different patterns, as well as what their worn-away appearance is like; usually different than their more fresh appearance 😲 it's was a really informative book, though also a little pricy. So far, I'm doing well with sticking to my Field Guide to Australian Gastropods that I show in the video I mentioned above, as well as the useful websites in that same video. Again, it probably won't help much if you're not Australian and beachcombing these areas. If you have more specific questions that I might be able to help with, then feel free to ask. Thanks for watching 🥰
Oh, I almost forgot. Most, if not all, of these books won't tell you the English/common name of the shell. For that, I make sure I have the most up-to-date scientific name (because they change often enough...) and pop it into my state's museum network site here: collections.qm.qld.gov.au/objects?query=Mauritia+arabica You can click on a listing here, and see that the "common name" section says that it's an Arabian Cowrie!! If a scientific name has a listing, it oftentimes will have a common name too! If not, then I try Google, which usually brings me to a website like iNaturalist. If that also doesn't have a common name, then I will translate the scientific/latin name, and make a decision on what to use for the English name for my videos. Hope that helps as well!
