Hii Maddie! Woww lots of cool finds today and my favourite is the white Flat False Limpet💓💓 I hope to find one of that colour as well!!Oh yeah and I see that there are these white coral looking things just scattered all around the beach are they some sort of coral by any chance?😮😮✨ I hope you have a great rest of your day! Byeee take care!

G'day Blaire 👋🏻🏖️ I hope you're having a terrific start to 2025 🥳 Oh my goodness, the favourite was the Flat False Limpet; I didn't think that plain white shell would stand out to anyone 😲 but I'm glad it did! Hmm, I will have to look at the video again, but if my memory is correct, then the white coral-looking things are actually a kind of sea grass or sea plant that gets washed ashore. Around that time of year, it dies off and washes up like that... Think of it like how some trees lose their leaves at certain times of the year 😉 and then grows back when it's ready. I hope you have a terrific day as well 🙏🏻 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

Wow! What a wonderful gift Ruth sent to you! ❤❤❤ so many beautiful shells! 🐚🐚🐚 Of course my favorite this time was the hinged scallop. You should have heard my gasp when you pulled it out. 😮 My next favorites were the OPERCULUMS!!! Gosh I love those things! In some parts of the world they have colors. I’ve been to the Grand Caymans on cruises, just isn’t ideal for shell looking. I was so disappointed, but I did get to swim with stingrays. 😳🫣😳 Maddie, I finally got my card mailed to you. Hopefully it won’t take too long to get to you. Fantastic unboxing video!!! 🥰🥰🥰

G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 I was more than a little spoiled; I still can't get over that hinged New Zealand Scallop 🐚❤️ maybe it will bring me luck to find a hinged Commercial Scallop this year? Haha, those cute little Operculums were pretty as well 🤩. Ohhh that's right, you've done a few cruises in that part of the world 🌎 I'm sorry they weren't good for shelling but honestly??? Swimming with stingrays might be an even better memory! Also, I can't wait for the card! I don't know how soon it will be though; someone mentioned sending me a Christmas card at the start of December, and it's still on its way! I'll let you know when it arrives 😁 Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day again 👋🏻🐚 Aww I'm sorry, but I'm not quite looking to do any overseas exchanges right now; not only because of the time to make a package and the cost to send it away, but also because I have given away a lot of shells last year so I never have a huge amount outside of my personal collection to send away. But I'm curious for the future: what kind of shells do you find in the Persian Gulf? I tried to look up some species but had a lot of difficulty (I was perhaps because I searched for websites in English?). Anyhoo! The answer is not right now 😅 and not sure when 😆 but thank you for watching and for the interest!!

I don't make a ton of shell unboxing videos; I'm usually the one out at the beach collecting the shells instead. I am very interested in your hobbies too - finding fossilised seashells in places around Australia is definitely a bucket list dream of mine. I don't really know anything about the names of these fossils, or ricks either (I might(?) be able to distinguish quartz from jasper as my best attempt at lapidary identification), but I think these pieces of nature are just as interesting and beautiful as anything I find at the beach. Ahhh, I am rambling. It makes me so happy to hear that you enjoyed this unboxing, thank you so much for watching 🥰 Happy New Year 🎊🎊🎊

@ShellingAdventures
@ShellingAdventures 3 күн бұрын
G'day Daniel 👋🏻🏖️ Hello to you in South Africa 🌍 Wow, you're in a place with an amazing amount of different shell species to find, too! For Violet Sea Snails, there isn't really an easy answer; they can wash up in many parts of the word because they live entirely on the surface of the ocean, rather than on reefs in only one area in the world. It comes down to luck - I usually only find the odd one; an even with MANY washing ashore like this is quite rare. Actually, there is something that you look out for: the Violet Sea Snails will feed on poisonous jellyfish and stingers. If you have a lot of those blue jellyfish wash ashore; look for Violet Sea Snails too! It's not a guarantee, but finding one usually means that you might find the other if you're lucky. Good luck and thank you so much for watching 🥰

Hi Maddie, I really like watching your videos, especially the unboxings. I learned about some of the good spots for shelling in Texas from the one where you got shells from someone who IIRC lives in Texas but also travels along the Gulf Coast down to Florida. SWF Beach Life is the channel that got me into watching shelling videos. I don't know why YT recommended that first one to me but it guessed right. By following other recommendations and links I now also follow you, Echoue Bijoux, Solace in Shelling, Shelling With Plum Island Sea Cabin, Shell Stories and a couple of other FL shellers. You might like Solace in Shelling because he travels a lot, mostly between Maine and south FL, east and west but he stops in between also especially in MA, NY, and NC. He also travels to places in the Caribbean, so far I've seen Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico and maybe Jamaica. Shell Stories is mostly in NC and it is interesting to see some of the shells are the same as FL and some are not. I'm fascinated by some of the New England species that are large because of the colder water - not as showing looking but a different ecology.

Yes indeed, you channel recommendations are so on-point! I know of them; they are all super passionate, and wonderful content creators with their own presentation styles. SWF Beach Life is of course the queen of shelling! I also like watching Roxann on Florida Beach Walks; I feel like her presentation clicks with me the best? Though Solace in Shelling is blessed to travel to so many exotic places to search for shells; it's interesting to see what he finds. I supposed I'm blessed with the beaches around me too; a few different environments between the coastlines has a wide variety of shells to find! As always Beverly, thank you so much for watching!~

G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 Happy New Year 🎊!! I absolutely need to go to New Zealand; the shells there are so interesting! Also, the sightseeing (and Hobbiton) would be amazing as well 🤩 Ahh I digress 😅 the Scallop was a stunner; I can't believe Ruth gave it to me...I was spoiled by her! Thank you so much for watching the big unboxing 🥰

G'day Veronica 👋🏻🐚 I'm glad I could help 😄 Hervey Bay has a lot of similar shells to central Queensland (but you have heaps of different ones up there too!) it's interesting to see the distribution of shells along the coasts. Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Di 👋🏻🏖️ There really were some nice and interesting finds 😲 I'm hoping that next year, I'll be able to spend a little more time up north at Yeppoon (or beyond) during the shell shows...I might find more interesting things up there! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
