  • Sunday funday everyone!! I mean, this is obviously coming to you on a Friday, but this was how my week started, even if you're only seeing it at the end! My favourite this time were the lovely black Arabian Cowrie, as well as the Rosy Frog Whelk, Captain Cone, and the broken Soldier Cone. Wonderful finds!
    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" - you can check out his amazing videos here: / shellcadeshellingdownu...

    Sweetheart, you so DESERVE those lovely finds! You worked hard and risked your life in a typhoon, with 40 foot waves, killer whales and man-eating sharks, jellyfish, poisonous octopus, killer cones and snapping turtles! Or, at least some rather high surf and scary 🌊 waves. . . Your enthusiasm never lets me down. No matter how bad my day has been you lift my spirits and have me smiling in a few short minutes! So, yeah, you deserve those treasures. I’m glad you are feeling better. Wishing you all the best from ❤Tennessee Nana.

      G’day Cathy 👋🏻💖 Haha, and you didn’t even include getting to the beach in the first place! I needed to trek through miles of dense bush land, dodge the dangerous drop bears 🐨, kick box with a kangaroo 🦘, and beat back swarms of spiders and snakes 🐍! It was chaos, I tell you 😭!! Haha, and yeah, then gosh-darn it all, I ran into this snapping turtles 🐢 just kidding! Ahhh Cathy, you did bring a smile to my face 🤣 The waves were crazy, that’s true though… the waves also brought a lot of lovely seashells along with them 🐚 I’m so glad that I could life your spirits; I think I recall you had a really tough situation on your hands a little while ago… hope you’re doing better now ❤️‍🩹 All the best to you as well. Thank you so much for joining me today, Nana Cathy 🥰

    There were too many favorites to choose from today Maddie, lol. So I’m just going to list all the 🥇 first place winners instead.. The Little Bear Conch, Gyre Triton, Rosy Frog Welk, and the Banded Moon Snail.. They all deserve first place honestly! Thanks for a wonderful hunt!! ❤❤

    • @SandCoffeeRocks
      @SandCoffeeRocks  Рік тому +2

      Oh wow, I love you picks for the favourites 🤩 the Gyre Triton was a surprising find right there - no crabbie either! The Soldier Cone is just stunning even with the break... The colours and patterns are so clear and vibrant; it is (and was) such a beautiful shell 🐚🤩 Once again, thank you so much for joining me today 🥰

  • @alisonh890
    @alisonh890 Рік тому +1

    Lovely shells Maddie, I loved all the cowries you found. There is something very pleasing to the eye about them, smooth and roundish and beautiful colours and patterns. The soldier cone was good too even if it was missing a bit. The rock/tide pools are so clear where you make some of your finds. It obviously pays to get to the beach early, I would also enjoy having the beach to myself 😂. Xxxxx

    • @SandCoffeeRocks
      @SandCoffeeRocks  Рік тому +1

      G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 It was a day full of surprises for me; it's not often that I find so many glossy and unusual shells in one day ✨☺️ Oh gosh, you've pretty much nailed why I love Cowries so much ❤️🐌 shiny and colourful and round, the perfect combo! The Solider Cone, gosh, the colours and patterns were so clean and vibrant on it, so even though it's broken, it still looks really lovely. Oh yes, the water is usually very clear, for which I am extremely thankful! I can imagine how much more difficult it would be to find these shells if the waters were murky. After lots of rain, the waters will go brown from the creek and river run-off, and sometimes the wind and rough waves will make seafoam, but I'm glad those times are only a minority. I live the crystal clear waters here 🏖️❤️ Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰

    What an exciting day! 🎉🎉🎉 The Arabian cowrie was beautiful. So many pretty shells. 🥰 My favorite today is the frog shell!!! 🐸🐸🐸 I just loved the “lumpy bumpy” texture. Oh, and the gyre triton shell too. Okay, so I had two favorites. 😂 Wonderful shelling today, thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

    • @SandCoffeeRocks
      @SandCoffeeRocks  Рік тому +2

      G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 Hehe, this was a day that I don't have too often... I was happy and almost ready to finish up before finding that Arabian 🤣 it was the big shiny cherry one top!! Ok, maybe it was like the main mean, and the little Nerite was the cherry 🍒😂 Oh my goodness, the frog shell!!! The frog shell would have been my favourite before finding the glossy black boi 😎 hehe, I thought you'd like the Lumpy Bumpy reference 😄 I got that from you!! Oh wow, the Gyre Triton as well? I was so non-plussed to see it there without a crab 😲 a few extra Gyre Tritons have been washing up lately 🤔 Thank you so, so much for watching this big adventure, Pam 🥰

Heheh, oh gosh, it was definitely a woo-hoo day; the banded moon snail was a large and impressive shell too 😄 Thank you so much for joining the adventure today 🥰

      G'day Mary 👋🏻💖 Thank you so much, it's rare to have so many lovely and unusual shell finds like this all in the same day 🤩 especially on a usually busy beach day no less! It did feel like I was in heaven, and better yet, I got to meet up with a sheller friend and had time to socialize too, so it was a double win 😲 I, umm, don't get out much other than to the beach 😅🏖️ Oh wow, the Gyre Triton and Frog Shell get the mentions today 🐚 The little Gyre Triton was such a surprise, but the Frog Shell, wow, I was just SHOCKED that the rock/coral I had looked at three times in the rock pool was actually a shell when I went for a closer look. Like, yes, I nearly didn't pick it up because it wasn't a shell in my eyes for a good 5 minutes!! Anyway!! Oh gosh, thank you, I am tickles -pink- black to have that Coffee Rock 🤩 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

I was quite pleased that the new frog shell and the black Arabian 😎 You take care too, Trudy ❤️ lots of love to you, Bob, and Bearsy 🐶

Do either of you often find these ones? They are quite the unusual sight, it seems. Anyhoo! As always, thank you so much for watching 🥰

      G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🏖️💖 Haha, it was certainly a day full of surprises for me, I don't often have a day like this so full of shiny and unusually shells 🐚 Oh wow, you know, I nearly LOST that little juvenile Deer Cowrie in the mystery cave of doom. I put the Captain Cone in my backpack pocket, and the deer must have fallen out, because I found it again about 15 minutes later in the cave of doom. Ahhh, I wasn't even surprised 🥲😅 well, not for very long anyway, how typical of me 😆 the Eroded Cowries were a nice find too, so many of them today,and the cones were just spectacular with their clear colours and patterns. As always, thank you so, so much for coming along with me again today 🥰

    Good afternoon, Maddie
    The triton, trumpet, frog whelk shell, cowries, captain cone was awesome, the little angle wing was very cute. Wow, there are just so many to pick from. You definitely had great picks today. The water was a little rough at times, but I would have gone after the shells as well. How cold does it get there for your winters? We are into spring, and the weather goes from cold and rainy to very warm. Our winter was very strange this year. Thank you for sharing your time and a wonderful shelling video. Have a great day, Maddie

    • @SandCoffeeRocks
      @SandCoffeeRocks  Рік тому +1

      G'day Toni 👋🏻💖 Today was definitely one of my best days when it comes to variety, rarity, and shine🤩 Ahhh, the water is usually always like that, but I went in while the tide was still up so I could grab these first!! I feel a bit greedy, but happier that I got them 🤣 The weather does not get too cold here because it's Queensland; generally more tropical temperatures. We usually stay 10 degrees above freezing even at the worst of times 😉 I'll be shelling in the winter: thats the best time to find the best condition cowries. The sun and beach usually feel nice and warm in winter too (as long as it's day time!), so it's the best way to enjoy the season here. I'm so pleased that spring has finally arrived for you 🏖️ Thanks, as always, for watching 🥰
