- Rain, sunshine, and back to rain. I managed to have a great day while the sun was out, and found some really lovely shells! The murky water made it a little harder to see them, but I wasn't going to miss the Magnificent Volute or the bright red Carnelian Cowrie! My surprise favourite... a beautiful Yellow-toothed Cowrie! Thanks for watching!
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!

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:

Hey Maddie! 😊 We went from cold and cold and rainy to 90 degrees in a week!! 😳 Now I have our Air Conditioning on 😆 My favorites to day are the Translucent Cowry. The Rock Welk. The Orange 🍊 Drupe. The Yellow Toothed Cowry & the Big Bonnet 😍 You make choosing favorites very difficult, in the best way! 🙃 I have to give a shout out to the chunky Cherry 🍒 Cowry too!! Thanks for a GREAT adventure again, my friend!! TTFN 👋🏼 ❤
G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 Brrr cold to huh huh hot!! That's one hell of a change! It's been all rain here lately; I hope you'll send some of that sunshine my way!! My goodness, for the shell favourites today, number one is the unusual Translucent Cowrie 😲 it's nice to come across a rarer cowrie shell, that's for sure! The Orange Drupe is always a nice find -I've been seeing more of them lately. Ohhhh yes, I'm so glad that someone else liked that Yellow-toothed Cowrie, I though I was maybe the one one who enjoyed it 🤣 and the bonnets and cherry cowrie were lovely as well. Wow, I'm so pleased to have found so many shells that you like!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
That Carnelian Cowrie is fantastic. Healed breaks just tell a story and adds character. Super cool seeing Orange the Starfish and that super cool Black Sea Cucumber! I hope that on an upcoming shelling adventure you find the biggest intact Baler Shell!
G'day Crimson Lizard 👋🏻🦎❤️ I do wonder how the cowries get so many breaks, though 🤔 the shells are very thin, bit what impact them... rocks, crabs, other shells, or do they just tumble around under the waves? Not sure if I'll even know!! Oh wow, a big intact Baler Shell, wouldn't that be something!! I guess it is nearly time for me to go up to Hervey Bay again soon, so I may just find something like that? Fingers crossed!! Thanks for watching 🥰
The bonnets and magnificent volute get my votes. 😊
G'day Diane 👋🏻💖 Hehe, you have an eye for the big beauties this time! The Bonnets and that Magnificent Volute were really lovely to find. Thanks for watching 🥰
Hello Maddie, 👋🌊. My favourite find from today is the starfish, but if we are talking shells only I cannot resist that wonky donkey cowrie. Hope you have a great day!
G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 Hehe, I think that starfish has a few secret admirers this town!! Ahh but the shells really capture my heart ❤️ that wonkey donkey was a super one! I hope you're having a wonderful day as well ☺️ Thanks for watching 🥰
Good afternoon Maddie, loving all the shells. Those Donkey cowrie were something gorgeous for sure. I'm choosing the orange drupe 😂 love those shells. The volute was awesome as well. I love the live creatures. Thanks again Maddie. Have an awesome week.
G'day Roberta 👋🏻💖 I'm so glad that you loved the shells today 🤩 I feel like there was a lot of interesting ones, and loads of Donkeys too, of course! The Orange Drupe is really nice, and looking back, I wish I gave it a little more screen time. The waves were washing in with the water having poor visibility, so I ended up wanting to move away from that spot too quickly with the Drupe. Oh wow, I'm also really pleased that you liked seeing the sea creatures! I don't feature too many marine animals into the videos because it's mostly about shells, but I really enjoyed seeing them this time (I always film starfishes when I find them, though). Thank you so much Roberta, I hope you have a wonderful week as well 🥰
Love the carnelian cowrie. Always amazed how you remember all the names of the shells because there are so. Many different ones. Great video.
G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 The Carnelian Cowrie was a nice surprise even with all of those crazy healed breaks on it 😲 finding a shiny one is very, very difficult here. Ahh, I do like to remember the names of I can, but of course, there are so many 😅 it's a good thing that I really like them, then 🤣 As always Jan, thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hello Maddie, I love the Magnificent Vplute today. Liked seeing the Black Sea Cucumber and Sea Star. Thank you. LOVE, TRUDY
G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 The starfish and sea cucumber were lovely guest stars in the video today 🤩 I'm glad that you enjoyed them, and the cool Magnificent Volute as well. Thank you so much for being here and watching the big adventures 💖
Thank you one more time for joyful time. We love watching your videos and we are shelters as well.
G'day Soffi 👋🏻🐚 I'm so pleased that you enjoyed this adventure; it was nice to find some of the larger shell species after a few microshelling trips! Thank you so much for watching these adventures 🥰
🌠🌠🌠 That starfish was amazing! Even the black cucumber was pretty cool looking. 🥒 You found some beautiful cowries today!!! Always love the juvenile ones. Loved the oyster and volute, but my favorite was the operculum!!!!! That one was in really good shape. Guess what? I am a grandmother now. Our little boy was born Monday morning! We are ecstatic! 👶🏼👶🏼👶🏼 Thank you for another great video Maddie! 🥰🥰🥰
G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 Oh my gosh, CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉 to you, your son, and of course to your daughter in law who had to do all the hard work. It was baby Peyton, I think? I hope he arrived big and healthy! As for the video, I just knew the Operculum would be your favourite 😂 but I'm also pleased that you enjoyed seeing the cowries and critters as well! Thank you so much for watching, and for sharing the good news 🥰💖🎉
I love sooo many shells from this trip❤ I like the m.volute, the orange drupe and the big cherry cowrie the very best, but even the tiny pheasant shells are beautiful! The starfish was cool, I love seeing live aquatic critters❤
Thanks Maddie for the video!
G'day Denise 👋🏻❤️ There was a nice variety of shells this time 🤩 and some of the bigger species, too. The Magnificent Volute was a fun one, and the Orange Drupe is really cool- I wish I gave it a little more screen time! Oh wow, and the Cherry with all of the healed breaks gets mention too! I'm really pleased that I could show so many shells, and even those little Pheasant Shells are appreciated as well! Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰
Oh wowza, that zebra volute is gorgeous...and the pink tip on that worm cone! 🎉
G'day Jas 👋🏻💖 I was quite surprised to get that nice Zebra Volute 🤩 I nearly missed it in the murky water. Ohh the worm cone with the nice pink tip was wonderful as well; I think it fades to white when they get older? I'm not too sure though 🤔 but it sure looks great!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hey Maddie. I really love the Orange Drupe today. I’m so glad you had such a great Cowrie day!
G'day Mary 👋🏻🏖️ It was a lovely day to be out at the beach ☺️ That Orange Drupe was quite nice; sometimes I see them all chewed up and with holes, but this one was in good shape! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie, hope all good with you. The red wing oyster was beautiful, particularly inside.
Mr sea cucumber was quite amazing to see! Nice coral.
🪸
Love the orange drupe shell.
Ha ha, I thought that frisbee was a huge operculum at first, wondering what sort of monster shell that was from!😂
Wow fab starfish!!!!! It’s got to be Patrick Star😂
Thank you for sharing your finds with us. ❤❤❤
G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 All is going good here, but the rain has come back for another few days 😅 I hope the weather is better where you are!! So the Red Wing Oyster was a favourite this time - the inside is lovely, and the red colour is quite eye catching too! Hahaha nooo the Frisbee as an Operculum? Can you imagine the size of the Turban shell that must have come from? I feel like maybe it was possible in prehistoric times, but I'm probably wrong 😂 maybe if this was a Disney villain it would be that big! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the shells and the sea creatures 😍 Thanks for watching 🥰
Good Morning Maddie 🙂 The Donkeys are adorable but my favourite is the Worm Cone!!
G'day Susan 👋🏻💖 I was surprised to come across so many Donkeys, but I think you might be right; that Worm Cone is just a little nicer today!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Love the cowries as always; I don’t know if I have a favorite. They’re all just so wonderfully cute but that cherry was pretty neat. I love it when shells break and heal- kind of like a motto! Thx for the awesomeness once again ❤
G'day Roxann 👋🏻🏖️ If there's anything I can find here, it's cowries!! That Cherry Cowrie is really interesting with all of the healed breaks; it really gives it a wild look! It's also poetic; life finds a way. Thank you so, so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
A 3 Donkey Day! Now that is a great day.
G'day Sharlene 👋🏻🐚 Triple Donkeys 🦓🦓🦓 it was quite a surprise! Thanks for watching 🥰
Thanks for the video
G'day Donna 👋🏻🏖️ Thank you for watching it 🥰
Hi maddieeee❤Great shelling.Thick edged cowry is my favorite today donkey cowries and yellow tinted cowry are very beatiful.thank you maddie.loves from Turkiye
G'day Hurriyet 👋🏻🏖️ Wow, so the first shell is the favourite this time 😲 and the Donkey Cowries too 🦓 they really are fabulous 🤩!! And the Yellow-toothed Cowrie too!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Wow, that oyster is my favorite! Reminds me of the Atlantic pearl oysters I find, but they don't have that beautiful red color. Love, love, love❤❤❤
G'day Melissa 👋🏻💖 Wow, so the Red Wing Oyster is the favourite this time!! The red colour is stunning on this one, especially when it's wet or oiled (this one had a periostracum that looked yellow-brown when it dried). I bet your Atlantic Pearl Oysters have wonderful patterns and their own arrays of lovely colours too 😉 PS, I have no idea what the difference is between Wing vs Pearl Oysters; I wonder if it's just the shape?? Anyhoo! Thanks for watching 🥰
Beautiful shells 🐚 😍
G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 I feel like I found some nice ones today 🤩 Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks You're welcome 🫠
Hiiii Maddie...
A day for the cowries I think,
At least i can see the moonsnail in the end😅
Today my fav is the Orange drupe,
Believe me, since the beginning of the video I wished I can see the Drupe,and tadaaaaa.....🎉
I'm so happy seeing it,
Thanks for a good video Maddie,
One more, your notification always come in the end of my work time,so its kinda relaxing watching your videos
G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 I'm so sorry, there really was only one nice moon snail today 😅 I hope that I can pick up a few more for you to see next week! I'm glad that you liked the Orange Drupe: maybe I only found it because you wanted to see it 😉 My goodness, I'm really happy that you liked the video, and that it helps you to relax after a big day at work ❤️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks ouch,its okay Maddie, u already served a gooooodd video
I really zuper enjoy it,
Sometimes i watch them more than one time 😆
Worm cone with pink top my favorite today.
G'day Tammy 👋🏻🐚 It's a little stunner!! I think the Worm Cones and Hebrew Cones will usually have their pink tips when they are younger 🤔 the larger and more mature ones seem to have their tips fade to white? Not sure how accurate I am on this, but I sure love seeing those pink tips too! Thanks for watching 🥰
Very good shell hunting, Maddie😊! There are many interesting cypraea, the large Lyncina carneola is a cool find👍 and the rest of the cypraeas are beautiful, Erronea caurica is so brightly colored😊. And especially pleased was this black sea cucumber, scary and funny at the same time😁
G'day Mikhail 👋🏻🏖️ The large Carneola looks crazy with all of those scars on the shell 😲 I know some collectors dislike shells with breaks, but they're fun to see sometimes! Oh, about the Cauricas from here; I believe they have a darker colour that ones found in warmer waters around the Indo-Pacific region 🤔 the same is true for a few other Cowrie species from here, including the Palmadusta Humphreysi. Hehe, yeah, that sea cucumber is scary/cool...I don't think I have the right word to describe it 😂 As always Mikhail, thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🥰💖
@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 yes, yes, yes Maddie, many collectors really don’t like cowries with flaws, especially since one of the most famous cowrie specialists, Felix Lorenz, generally believes that the “Gem” 💎category can only be assigned to cowries. But I’ll be honest, even among my variety of cowries, I personally would assign the “Gem” category to only a few specimens)) And I like all cowries, regardless of the degree of condition, and you came across a good, large specimen😊👍 That's it, Maddie, I'm disappearing for now, I'm visiting relatives, today Easter has finally arrived and they decided to fatten me up so that I wouldn't eat for a week after that and, in addition, give me various strong drinks to drink)) some kind of unusual Easter, usually on Easter I I don’t take a drop in my mouth🤭😁 And then in the of the week I’ll calmly watch your new episode, I’m watching this episode from Victoria, it’s interesting, it’s far from you, in general, I’ll see what happens there and how you got there😉😊🤟
🥰🥰🥰🥰
G'day Sunny Belisle 👋🏻🏖️ Thank you so much 🤩 I feel like there was a lovely variety to show you today 🐚😍!!
The bonnet
G'day Edith 👋🏻🏖️ So the bonnet was your favourite this time 🤩 it sure is a lovely type shell 🐚 Thanks for watching 🥰
Orangy McOrange face 😂
G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 Haha, UA-cam asked if I wanted to translate your comment into English 😂🤣😂 The starfish deserved so much better than that, I almost feel like a bad person now 😅 Thanks for watching 🥰
DONKEY(S)!!!!! Yay🎉🎉🎉
G'day Mary Ann 👋🏻💖 Hehehe, the Donkeys were a big surprise; I don't remember ever finding three in one day like this?? I was spoiled 🦓 Thanks for watching 🥰
Crabifid 😂😂😂😂
G'day Brenda 👋🏻🦀 Haha, I'm sure that there is a proper technical term for it...but I just don't know it! I just need one word for "occupied with a crab" or something like that...does this one word even exist? Well, it does now 😅 Thanks for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks I like your Maddie vocabulary!! Too cute!
It would be more exciting if you didn't show the shells on the thumbnail 😊😊
G'day Sleepy Fish 👋🏻🐟 I am intrigued 🤔 I always need more feedback like this to help my channel grow, but the problem is that I honestly can't think of a better thumbnail to use than my shell display photo. Hmm, I feel like it's a choice between an exciting thumbnail that somewhat spoils the video viewing experience, or using a less interesting thumbnail and run the risk of no one wanting to click the video to see it. All I know is that the bigger and more impressive looking the shell display is, the more people seem to want to watch the video, but it's hard to know what really goes through people's minds. I wonder, what would you do for a shelling thumbnail? Maybe I'm stuck in a rut and just falling back on what I know; I could be convinced to shake things up! Thank you so much for watching, and for the insight 🥰
