Finding Seashells at Low Tide | Gems on the Wrack-line [Virtual Shelling]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лют 2023
- I went out very early for another dawn shelling adventure... I watched the crowds come and go... and then BAM; I found my two best treasures almost as I was leaving -after everyone else had left too. How does that even happen? I'm so surprised that no other shellers found these two gems up high on the wrack-line. I'll be sure to check there again after high-tides with big waves!!
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 Point Cartwright and the surrounding beaches had such lovely seashells until I saw "Shellcade Shelling Down Under" - I admire him a lot, and wow, it seems like he's creating new shelling content on UA-cam? You can check out his amazing videos here:

I loved watching as you patiently removed the sand around the shell and then the excitement when you saw the Bailor was whole. Thank you for taking us along on this journey. The Coral is my favorite of the day.
G'day Shela 👋🏻🐚 Thank you for your lovely comment, although I think you perhaps meant to post it on a different video? I found a lot of awesome shells here, but no Balers this time 😂 I hope you enjoy my shelling adventures too, though! Thanks for watching 🥰
I absolutely love your voice. It just lightens my day. You just bring happiness to the room!!🥹💗ྀིྀི love youu
G'day Selena 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my goodness, than you so much for your lovely comments 💖 I'm glad that my voice can brighten your day 😲 I never really think of my voice as anything special, but I hope that my positive energy and passion for sea shells is the best part of it 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Woah! You’re lucky!
I’m a shell collector too.I collected shells at 8-9 year old but I lost all of them but now I’m restarting it! I have 50+ shells now!
G'day Lepus 👋🏻🐚 Hello to a fellow shell collector! Oh yes, I know how lucky I am to be able to find shells where I live. Do you also find a lot at your beaches too? It sounds like your collection is growing quite large!! Thanks for watching the big adventure today 🥰
THAT was a FABULOUS day of beach combing. I loved the deer cowrie and the sub adult Arabian cowrie! Soooo many beautiful shells! Thank you for a fabulous video! 🥰🥰🥰
G’day Pam 👋🏻💖 WELCOME BACK! Hehe, you didn’t waste any time catching up on the seashell adventures over here! I hope you had some wonderful shelling experiences of your own while in the cruise, too 🤩 Thank you very much for watching the back-log of episodes; the Deer cowrie here is fantastic! Also, the sub-adult Arabian is actually an Eglantina; I had no idea at the time 🤣 but that just make it even cooler! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the beautiful shells today 🥰
Good morning Maddie, Looks like a very wavy day. The bonnets are beautiful , the augur shell was very big, the trumpet is awesome, the zebra shell is beautiful, I like the Triton shell was so tiny and just way to cool, the bubble shell is awesome, the waves and sounds the ocean makes just mellows me so much. The waves are crazy again. The beach branch would make a beautiful candle holder. I know have miss some but you know I enjoy all the shells you find. I know you know I would be at the ocean if I could. I think I would be at the beach as much as I could. Thank you again for another great shelling day. I hope you are enjoying your day.
Good morning Toni 👋🏻💖 I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday. I'm only just now catching up on messages 😜 Wow, once again, you have really learned and remembered the names, I'm so impressed! The bush/branch/fan? Would probably make a really cool candle holder 🤔 I uhhh dont use candles though 😂 but I have a sheller friend who really likes this stuff for decoration; I hope she can get to the beach soon to grab some seabush while it's plentiful after the storm. I did find some nice seabush yesterday that I did keep, so look forward to seeing it next time 😉 I hope you have a lovely day as well, and thank you so much for watching 🥰
Many might not like how you talk but for me it's ok 😊 I like your energy , I like how you're excited for seashells 😊 exactly like me
G'day Catto 👋🏻😺🐚 I was quite exuberant in this adventures, wasn't I 😂?? Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm absolutely thrilled that you enjoy the energy that bubbles up when I go shelling! I know it's not for everyone, but that's just how I am. I think it will mellow out a bit over the years? But for now, I go a bit crazy when I find something I really love!! Again, thank you so much for your support, and thanks for watching 🥰
Good afternoon, this was an amazing shell video i loved the trumpet it was beautiful🎉❤
G'day Indy 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your kind words!! This was one of my favourite shelling adventures for a really long time; I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! The Spengler's Trumpets are lovely shells 🤩 they're quite common here after some rainy or stormy weather, but I absolutely love collecting them; they're such a lovely looking shell. Thanks for watching 🥰
Morning Maddie, my favorite is the deer cowie. That was an amazing find. I'm so glad that you had a great time shelling today. That stripped brown line bubble was another great find. The kittens are doing great. Have a good night sleep and see you in the next video. 🤗♥️🐚🐈
G’day Kayle 👋🏻💖 Wonderful to hear that the kittens are doing fine; they must be such a dull-on bundle of joy every day ❤️ I’m so, so pleased that you enjoyed the video today 🤩 there was a lot to get excited for! The Deer Cowrie deserves to be the favourite, it’s such a beautiful little gem 💎 Oh yes, the brown-lined bubble shell was also a particularly lovely one... I have no idea if it’s normal to find so many bubble shells at this time of year, but I’m certainly lovely it! Thank you so, so much for watching, and I hope you have a wonderful day as well 🥰
G'day Maddie! Another fun day,loved them all The sub-adult Arabian-he is so zigzagy(looks like 2 different species mated and produced a large zigzagy hybrid-cool though😎)And the deer cowrie is also very lovely,so dotty and glossy!So ,I must admit,the cowries stole the show this time!(Although, the chocolate spotted auger is pretty nifty - despite his flaws)Thanks again for sharing,, it brightens my day to "go to the beach"and look at shells and other beach goodies!Take care and I look forward to the next treasure hunt,bye for now👋
G'day Lenora 👋🏻💖 It was a lovely day, I'm so happy that I was able to share it. The Auger shell was a surprising one to see; again, I wish he was a little less old/roughed up, but so fun to find a rarer shell 🐚🤩 Ohh I like how you described the sub-adult Arabian as a zigzaggy hybrid. The sub adult ones usually don't have their dark brown swirls yet, so all Arabians have these blue and brown zigzags underneath their top patterns 💙 they look so cool, it's just another reason to love the sub-adult shells. Although I will say; this one in particular is exceptionally lovely... Actually, I'm told now that this "Arabian" is probably a slightly rarer (for me) Eglantina cowrie. Super exciting! I'm waffling, sorry 🤣 I'm so happy that I could take you to the beach, thank you so much for watching 🥰
I love the adult Arabian cowrie. Wonderful shells, there's one with donkey in his name. Thanks for the fun!! 🐌🐚🥰🐕🇺🇸
G'day Guadalupe 👋🏻❤️ The Arabians were amazing today 🥰 I found so many of them at different growth stages; so cool. Haha I know, why is is a Donkey though??? All the shells seem to be named after animals or food 😂 Thank you so much for watching the adventure 🥰
WOW MADDIE WHAT AN AWESOME VIDEO FOR VALENTINE DAY TO ALL OF US VIEWERS. AND HEADED TO 850. WOW!
So many wonderful seashells today. And did not like you so close to waves scared me really.
Japanese Carpet very nice, 3 Arabian cowries different sizes very nice, checkered Bonnet wonderful color, double cherry awesome, sun glass seashell woo hoo. Love yours more on you. Ring top gold top cowrie looks similar to the money cowrie. We have small false angel wings like your little one but I do not have one. The Oyster is a true Oyster from Ostreidae class which means it is not a pearl one I think. A wonderful day shelling. I cannot wait to go to OBX in April to find shells in a different season. You be careful and take care. Love and hugs from Trudy
G’day Trudy 👋🏻💖 Happy Valentine’s Day! I didn’t plan it, per sé, but it was nice that the video landed one such a special day ❤️💖❤️ Hehe, yes I’m so fortunate that my channel is continuing to grow 🤩 (keep scrolling down)
Ohhh the waves, I mean, I did warn you?? I was pretty confident that I could dig-in and brace myself if the wave was more intense than it was. Plus, that section of the rock wasn’t even slippery, so all good! It was a big wave though, I think it even wet my glasses 👓!
Hehe sunglasses seashell 🤣 I thought that was a bit of fun too! Ooooh yes, so many amazing cowries in their different stages of growth. The ring top and money cowries really do look the same! I have only ever found ring tops, but not a money cowries yet. I remember the difference like this: real money cowries look like a runny egg 🍳 hehehe 🤣
Can’t wait for you go shelling and find some of your own treasures too! I saw your message earlier today, and I’m so incredibly happy that you received your thank you gift 🎁 I have much to write back to you, but please wait a little longer. I feel like the day got away from me somehow and now it’s nearly bed time 😅 so this is just a little message back to you here for now to say you’re welcome, and thank you so much for everything you do 💖💖💖!
I really love watching you find shells, they really are pretty beautiful! Also, do you take them home or leave them after filming?
G’day Pwrsla 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! I’m really glad that you enjoyed the episode 😲 it was one of my favourite trips for a long time! As for your question, I take a lot of shells home, but I also leave some behind. I keep the ones that are in the best displayable condition, while leaving damaged/chipped/worn shells. Most of the time, I try to pick up and film the better quality shells, so I can show everyone something nice 😉 so sometimes what I take or leave behind might be up to personal preference as well 😅 Thanks for watching 🥰
Your videos are always so much fun! Again and again you find such amazing shells with great color and textures. So jealous! Great find on the eyewear also. :) Happy Valentine's Day and thank you for sharing such great moments!
G’day Shell Nuts 👋🏻🐚 Happy Valentine’s Day to you too, I hope you were able to do something extra special on this lovely day ❤️ I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the video, it certainly was exciting for me to live it 🤣 it’s wonderful to find the amazing variety that I do, but you know, your amazing shells are also drool-worthy 🤗 I can’t wait to see your next adventure, your vids have such pleasant vibes 🏖 Thank you so much for stopping by to check out the sunny Aussie beaches and shells 🐚🥰
Oh my Maddie… You’re making these very difficult, 😂… My faves today is the Spotted Deer Cowry and the Spengler’s Trumpet. Another wonderful early morning walk! ❤
G'day Mimi 👋🏻😊 Hehehe I aim to make it as hard as possible to choose a favourite 🤣🐚 but the favourites you did choose are amazing 😍 I also love the deer cowrie and Spengler's trumpet 🎺 Thank you so much for joining me on this adventure 🥰
Hi Maddie... giiiirl The Jellies are strong today!!! I say it every time but I swearzzzz the Ausie shells are way cool... I think my faves today are the same as u.. that Spotted Deer Cowrie is gorgeous n the pattern on that Arabian is way gorg!! What a way to end an adventure!!
G'day Evi 👋🏻❤️ Haha oh my gosh, I love you comments 🤣 Hehe I'm glad that I could make the jellies appear, it's one of the reasons that I love sharing videos... does that make me a bad person?? 🤣🤣🤣 I'm just kidding, sort of 😜! I'm so pleased that you liked the coloured and patterns on those two cowries, I know I was totally blown away when I saw them too 🤩 such a fantastic day. Again, thank you so, so much for your lovely comment that brought a smile yo my face, and for joining me on my adventures 🥰
Love your finds. The two cowries that were your favourites were mine too. It obviously pays to go early to the beach . Xxx
G'day Alison , 👋🏻🐚 Yes indeed, it really pays to get there before the crowds! Although, these two cowries were found after the crowds came and went 🤣😅 so who knows, I think anyone can find wonderful treasures at any time when they go to this beach ⛱️ Thank you so much for watching the adventure 🥰
Just got in to collecting shells and I absolutely ADORE ur videos
G'day Millie 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, what a wonderful hobby you've discovered!! I hope you live near a beach so you can have your own shelling adventures too 🤩 Thank you so much for stumbling onto mine; I'm absolutely thrilled that you like them so much 🥰
Hi From Debbie, the Deer Cowrie and all the Cowries are very nice today looks like a nice day to be at the beach as always your shell are all very nice. have a good day.
G'day Debbie 👋🏻🐚 So strange, your comment was with-held for review, so I didn't see it until I went looking just now 🤣 I almost never have comments land there. UA-cam has been doing weird things to me all day; EVERY SINGLE AD THAT I GET NOW is in the Thai language, and it's all for makeup and beauty products... I have no idea what's happening 😅 I did nothing to incur this change 😆. Phew, sorry, I had to vent for a second and apologize to you. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ignore and almost lose your lovely comment. I'm so, so pleased that you liked the deer cowrie, it is honestly such a lovely shell, and it deserves to be the favourite ❤️ Thank you so much for joining me at the beach today 🥰
Oh my swirly sea shells what an adventure today ! Hey Maddie , how are ya doing ? Loved, loved, loved this video too! Scared me girl standing on the edge of the rocks like that with those big waves . Today my favorites were the pink grape cowrie and the moon snail with the black swirl. You know me and the moon snails. You take care girl and stay safe. Keep shelling and sharing. Love ya from Ohio !
G’day Anita 👋🏻❤️ Sweet swirly seashells indeed 🐚 I’m doing great, but today has been one of those days where I only did a few things, but it seemed to eat up the entire day 🤣 where did my whole day go 😱?? Do you have days like that too? Haha anyway! Oh yeah, I really didn’t expect that second wave to come up so much; I think I got my glasses wet with that wave 🌊 I’m sorry for scaring you... I felt pretty confident that I could brace myself if the water came up higher, that part of the rock is thankfully not slippery 😅 I really love your picks for the favourites; that little pink grape is a really nice change from the usually colours they have! That Moon Snail too, it’s condition is actually really lovely and shines nicely in the light. Seriously awesome shells for the moon Snail lady 😉 I’m so glad you enjoyed the adventure today. Stay warm, and thanks for watching 🥰
Dear Maddie, I've seen a lot of Cowries and im absolutely addicted to it like Wow the pink stippled cowrie 😍, anyways that was Amazing and a Gorgeous cowrie ❤❤🐚🐌
G'day Amjad 👋🏻🦑 Hehe, cowries are just an amazing type of shell... they are my favourite amongst all of the shell species 🤩 Honestly, I could look at them all day and still not tire of the sight 🐚❤️🐚 and on this trip, my goodness, I had a particularly good day and found some that will stay with me for a lifetime! Thanks for watching 🥰
Really nice shells today good job finding some awesome shells❤🎉🎉🎉
G'day Sherry 👋🏻💖 Oh my goodness, this has been one of my favourite trips for a long time; mostly because of those last two shells 🐚🤩 it was a lovely day, that's for sure! Thank you so much for coming along on another shelling adventure today 🥰
Hola 👋 😊entretenido tú búsqueda me gusta 👍 desde Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱 ❤️
Hello friend 👋🏻🏖️ Wow, from beautiful Chile!! I hope you can also find some amazing shells on your beaches! Oh gosh, thank you so much for joining the adventure here 🥰
That is my favorite shell😊
G'day Mira 👋🏻🏖️ I'm so glad you liked the shells from this big trip!! Was your favourite the very lark brown cowrie, or the cowrie with the white spots? Or maybe another? Anyways, thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰
I wish I could join you!!!
G'day Laurie 👋🏻🐚 This was a particularly bountiful day for me 🤩 that big dark cowrie (I said Arabian on the day, but looking back I think it's an Eglantine) is still one of my favourite finds that sits in my shell cabinet. I hope you have some amazing shells to look for where you live, and if not, it might be worth travelling on day if you can 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Hi Maddie
What a wonderful collection of shells today. The Cowries were definitely the standout today, how lucky were you to find the last two.
G'day Aussie Dirt Digger 👋🏻🪙 Hehe thank you, I found some really lovely ones today 🐚 I still can't get over how lucky I got with those last two cowries... Seriously, they were just sitting there all morning and no one spotted them 🤣🤣🤣 lucky me!! I reckon it must feel the same for you when you unearth your loot 😜 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@SandCoffeeRocks😊
I like your video
G'day friend 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, thank you so much 💕 I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the shells and the video, thanks for watching 🥰
Wah amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ lam like Shell beautiful
Hello again Kreasi 👋🏻❤️ Yes indeed! Today's shells are so beautiful 💕😍💖 Thank you for coming along on this adventure 🥰
Ok I love all the shells, but even more enjoyable is your narration!!😂
Also wondering do you coat the shells with anything when they’ve gone dull?
G’day Reet 👋🏻🐚 Hehehe my narration; as in me screaming excitedly at the beach and getting weird looks 🤣 haha, I’m too busy looking at the shells to see their reactions 🤗 I’m glad you like it through! Oooh good question! When shells go dull, I use mineral oil (actually baby oil which is the same thing with a bit of fragrance). I’ve heard that people might also use a clear coat of spray something-or-other, and even clear nail polish. I haven’t tried those options yet. Luckily, my glossy cowries won’t go dull as long as I keep them out of the sun! Thanks for watching, Reet!
I have a feeling the sub-adult cowry at the 13 minute mark could be Mauritia eglantina (Duclos, 1833) based upon the narrow pinched ends and narrow shell??
G'day Adrian 👋🏻 I wondered that myself as well 🤔 though only much later after getting home. I only have one other sub-adult arabica to base my comparison on; and that one has a much wider/fatter appearance, so this one indeed stands out for how long and narrow it is. The reason I initially dismissed it as an Eglantina was because: while the immature teeth curve around, the other side isn't curved... It's like a sudden flat side that I thought was attributed more to Arabians (though maybe that is how Eglantinas form??). I wish I had a larger amount of sub-adult Arabians and Eglantinas to make better comparisons. I hope it is an Eglantina; they are always a bit of a rarer find for me, and that just makes this sub-adult cowrie even more exciting and special. It's definitely one of my all-time favourite finds in any case 🤩 Thank you for your thoughtful comment, and for watching the video 🥰 it's always wonderful to have an expert's take on the matter.
@@SandCoffeeRocks If you can post photos from different angles, including directly from above for both dorsum and aperture, it could be helpful for an ID
If it's empty it for me 🤪
I only take home empty shells 😉

Where are you located to get those shells?
G'day Susie 👋🏻🐚 I pop the location into each video, but generally, I'm in Queensland, Australia 🦘 Thanks for watching 🥰
Which beach is that? My beach has 0?!?! Shells
G'day Marla 👋🏻🐚 I'm so glad that you like the shells from this episode 😁 I live in south east Queensland; a lot of the rocky beaches, bays, or headlands around here have shells to find! Thanks for watching 🥰
Is there any need really to speak as if talking to 5 year olds, so darn annoying!
G'day Pixie 👋🏻 I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the video 😔. This was a really exciting day for me, and perhaps we don't share the same energy about shelling? Would you have preferred me to swear a lot of drop F-bombs? Perhaps it would have sounded like I was speaking to you like an adult, but I do like to remain family friendly with my videos 😆 If you did enjoy the shells, I could recommend watching my videos muted, and maybe play some of your preferred music in the background? Other than that, I'm not sure what else to say. Was there anything in particular that made you feel like I was talking to you like a young child; I'm not really sure what you mean to be honest? Thanks for watching though 😅
Won't watch this, don't like your voice. Too busy!
Ok Linda, that’s fine 👍🏻 perhaps you’d enjoy my videos while muting them and putting some music on in the background? Thank you for giving me a chance anyway; I like to think of myself as exciting and upbeat, rather than busy 😅 but perhaps our personalities just don’t line up about shelling 🤔
Scallop
G'day Friend 👋🏻🐚 Oh my goodness, the scallop shells are nice aren't they?? Thank you so much for watching 🥰
