Finding Seashells at Low Tide | Baler Day on the Mud Flats

The goal was to go shelling at the mangroves this time... but I didn't even get there; I found too many amazing shells before arriving!! Wow, look at those beautiful Scallops, Moon Snails, Murexes, Arc Shells, and of course; that Baler Shells. Which one was your favourite among them; I think my choice might change depending on how well I paint that big cracked one!! Anyhoo, thank you so much 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!

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

Hi there Maddie! LOVE those Biggenden Banded Snails 🐌 😍 Pick those toilet 🚽 bowls off the scary murex 😆😆 Now that the video is over, the little Dark Dog Welk is my favorite 🤩 16:15 The Acorn Dog Welk is my second favorite 🤩 (the welks seem to be catching my eye 👁️ this trip 😊) Third were the Haynes Turbans. They were really nice looking today. Their patterns were very vibrant 😊 The shoutout goes to the Biggenden Banded Snails 🐌 They will always be my favorite whenever you find them. That wouldn’t be fair to all the other shells 🐚 Thanks for a great hunt and the change of scenery my friend!! Take Care! TTFN 👋🏼 ❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 Haha yes, I have to remove the dirty toilet bowls from my shells 🤣🤣🤣 Ahh, but the little Dark Dog Whelk is the favourite after all! The Dog Whelks and regular Whelks from this beach are just wonderful, aren't they? Oh oh and the Hayne's Turbans are lovely little shells too!! There really was so much to like in this episode, and I hope you like the next one as well! Thanks for watching 🥰

Good morning, Maddie What a great day shelling. I love so many of the shells today. The small bailer shells are just too cute. The moon snails (all of them), the dog whelkes( the different kinds), the turbans, and scary murexs. Thank you for another wonderful shelling video. I hope you are doing well. I am still having a rough time recovering. I went through so much in a short time. My body is still having trouble healing. I am getting there very slowly. At least I am getting back to myself. Thank you for helping me smile and enjoy your shelling videos.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G’day Toni 👋🏻💖 This was a big episode with so many shells to show! I was really amazing at how many Baler and Murex shells I found this time! The Moon Snails are always a welcome sight as well. I’m doing well over here, but I have no doubt that you’re still going through a lot 😣 I remember a little about what you said regarding your operations and your struggles earlier this year; that certainly won’t heal quickly. It’s good to hear that you’re slowly improving, though for your sake, I can only hope that it happens a little faster. Thank you for letting me take your mind off of things today, I’m glad your enjoyed this big adventure 🥰💖

Too many beautiful ones to pick a favorite

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Tammy 👋🏻🐚 I feel the same way sometimes; it's so hard to choose a favourite when I like so many 😂 Thanks for watching 🥰

[@kristenhardy1284]

Hi Maddie! I really love the colors of the land snails and commercial scallops today! Your videos are so fun and informative, thank you and be well!😊🐚

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Kristen 👋🏻🏖️ The land snails have lovely bands and swirls, don't they 🐌 I'm so glad that you enjoyed seeing them, and the awesome commercial scallops as well! Oh gosh, thank you for your kind words, and thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@robertabessey7990]

Good afternoon Maddie, just loving the land snails today. That white sand snail is beautiful. I believe I just noticed after all this time that the jingle shell is related to the oyster? I really like the Giant mangrove well. I can't say as I have a favorite shell today. You find so many shells at Harvey Bay. Think I spelled that wrong. 😂 The cute little baby Baylor shells, I'll give a mention to. Like it's my video or something. 😂 Oh wait, yes I shall pick the last little dog welk you picked up. It's adorable. Again Maddie what a wonderful day finding so many wonderful shells. Thank you for all your hard work. We appreciate you so much. Have an awesome week.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Roberta 👋🏻💖 I'm glad that you liked the land snails; I've got a few more nice ones for the next episode as well! Hmm, about the jingle and oyster shells being related; I'm not too sure that they are, other than both being bivalves. They both do have a nice shine on them, though! Hehe, there sure are a lot of amazing shells at Hervey Bay, I'm glad that I could show them to you 😄 Oh, so maybe the little Dark Dog Whelk was your favourite this time?? It sure was a cutie! As always Roberta, thank you so, so much for watching 🥰

[@guadalupeknippen528]

Hi Maddie. I love the jeweled dog well. Nice to hang out with you this morning. 🌷🌿🐕🇺🇸

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Guadalupe 👋🏻💖 The Jewelled Dog Whelks were so cute today, they had nice clean colours 🐚😍 Thank you so much for hanging out with me 🥰

[@gomathirajasekaran5235]

I like commercial scallop lavender combination very beautiful and pacific ocean shells these are my favorite your today shelling.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Gomathi 👋🏻🐚 Oh yes, the colours on those Commercial Scallops are just so wonderful 🤩 the tropic waters around Australia have some amazing shells. Sorry for the late reply, but thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@lisapecchenino278]

Oh I’m in love with the Baler shell ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Lisa 👋🏻🏖️ Hehe, the little Baler shells are just so adorable 😍 I can't get enough of them either!! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@alisonh890]

Hi Maddie, hope all good with you. That fat Haynes turban pretty cool! The baler shells very nice, pretty colours. I also liked the golden jingle. Oooh the top shell very nice! Wow lovely final display. Thank you ❤xxx

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Alison 👋🏻🏖️ Life's been pretty good these days; the weather is finally getting sunnier, and the school holidays are past us! I hope everything is good for you too? As for the shells this time; you're right, that Haynes Turban was a really cool one!! The Balers were just the best too; I can't believe how much luck I had with them. Lots of luck all around on my trip to that side of the beach 😄 Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰

[@oceanluvngal]

Hello hello hello! 🙂 The propeller arks, scary murex, and long tail spindle are my favourites today. Always amazed by the amount of great shells you find.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 Awesome!! I think youre the first one to mention the Propeller Arcs, Spindle, and Murexes this time! So happy to see that these shells are being appreciated; I also like them quite a lot!! Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰

[@erinhurt6341]

Hi Maddie! I can't believe how many baler shells you found. I love little baby balers. I really liked seeing the joined turkey wing. I've never seen a complete one ever.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Erin 👋🏻💖 It really was a day for the Balers!! I've never found so many in one day like this; I think the beach spoiled me 🤩 Oh wow, so it was your first time seeing a joined Turkey Wing 😲 it's pretty crazy to see them joined like that!! Thanks for watching the big adventure 🥰

[@dianesalvato3078]

Your shell display at the end of each video is so artistically beautiful.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Diane 👋🏻💖 My goodness, thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ It takes a bit of time to arrange the shells like this, but I really like the effect too 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@GreenThumbGardener65]

Hey Maddie! Very cool banded snails! Loved the black scallop shell. The Giant Mangrove Welk was super cool! I think that was my fav today. ❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻☘️ The Banded Snails are so cool...though I'm sure you'd hate to see live ones munching in your garden!! Oh wow, so the black Scallop and the Giant Mangrove Whelk are the favourites this time 🐚 absolutely wonderful shells! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@nellyjune9828]

A beautiful day Maddie... I just realized tht today u got so many various of moonsnails, they are soooo lovely 😍 So absolutely today my fav is mr.moonsnail ❤❤❤ Thanks for a great video Maddie 🎉

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 It was a wonderful trip for the moon snails!! I found so many this time, but not very many in the next one...I was on the wrong side of the beach for them after this video! Still, I found enough in this one to make up for it 🐌❤️ Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰

[@CrimzonLizard]

Have you ever thought about collecting 1 of every shell and shell stage to help with documenting the different species at the different beaches? Wonderful video!

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Crimson Lizard 👋🏻🦎 Hmm... Not really 😂 collecting one of each shell at each stage of maturity at each beach sounds like a huge amount of work; the work of a lifetime perhaps 🤔 I'm just here to enjoy the seashells and take home the ones I like ☺️ I know, I know; I should advance scientific knowledge... but I don't think I'd enjoy shelling or making videos if it was for that kind of study. That's just my thoughts anyway 🤣 As always, thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@pamdudley6153]

I really like your sordid moon snails. 🐌🐌🐌 That’s something I’ve never found. The scary murex are so frilly today! I absolutely love murex shells. ❤❤❤ Uh oh, interruption… I will finish later. Soooo many beautiful finds today! 🥰

[@pamdudley6153]

Oh my gosh! You found 2 indo pacific joined ark shells??? I’ve never seen one in real life! I get excited when I find a half.🎉 I don’t find very many joined shells of any sort. 😭 But my favorites today are the bayler shells. You found some really great ones today. Love the flats!!! Great video! Thank you Maddie! 🥰🥰🥰

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Pam 👋🏻🏖️💖 Oh gosh, take your time with commenting; your "interruption" was funny to see from this side 🤣 Thanks for getting back to me! Hehe yes, I found two joined Indo-Pacific Arc Shell; so cool, I'd only found one like that before! I wonder why more joined ones don't wash ashore... Maybe the join on them isn't very strong? Anyhoo, there really were a lot of great shells this time: murexes, moon snails, and of course the Baler shells 😍 Thank you so much for watching the big adventure 🥰

[@denisedill3552]

Hey Maddie, my favorite today is the pretty little baler shell with its nice color and intact lip. I also liked the weirdo turban shell that had to grow weird because of the oyster in it's way. Thank you for the video❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Denise 👋🏻❤️ Oh, the little Baler is your favourite 😲 that one with the intact lip had a nice orange colour! Ahhh yes, that Turban shell was a bit weird after being obstructed by an oyster! It's not the first time I've seen this happen on the Turban shells at Hervey Bay 🤔 Anyhoo! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@trudymcewen9801]

Hi Maddie, No favorites today. Enjoyed the video. Thank you. LOVE, TRUDY

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 I understand what you mean; sometimes I feel neutral about the shells I find too, especially if there isn't anything super rare or new to see 🤔 but I still enjoyed the shells this time, and took home some great ones 😄 I'm glad that you enjoyed the video ❤️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@nikoletastavropoulou5515]

How many beautiful shells 🐚 😍.

Hi maddie❤turkey wings are so cool.❤❤❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Hurriyet 👋🏻🏖️ Hehe, they really are lovely from this side of the beach; those joined Turkey Wings almost look like they have feathers!! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@denise20240]

My favourite was the joined Turkey Wing, so rare to find.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Denise 👋🏻❤️ Ohhh I like your pick for the favourite; the joined Turkey Wing is super cool! Yes, so unusual to see both halves together like that. Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@mikhail-tikhonov]

G'day Maddie 😊👋At first I looked at the video poster, I thought that you found something like an imperial volute🤔. But it turned out to be Melo🙂. This is an interesting cowrie 14:30

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Mikhail 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my goodness, I WISH it was an Imperial Volute! Nope, it's just Melo amphora and Amoria Zebras around in Hervey Bay! Ohhh yes, the cowrie in this one is very faded...it should usually be a green and brown coloured shell! As always Mikhail, thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@mikhail-tikhonov]

@@SandCoffeeRocks G'day Maddie 😊👋 But this is a big cowrie😉

[@pearlanderson1913]

🐞The joined “turkey wings”. Thanks. 🐞

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G’day Pearl 👋🏻🐚 The joined Turkey Wing is a fabulous choice for the favourite ❤️ Thanks for watching 🥰

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

Beautiful. ❤ that white…sand snail was it? Very nice and the flat side of those commercial scallops are always so pretty. I would flip out if I found a flat like that over here-ours are so small 😂

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Roxann 👋🏻🏖️ Oh yes, that white one is a sand snail!! Not sure if the name is truly indictive of what it is rather than a moon snail; I mean, moon snails also live on the sand!! As for those scallop flats, they sure are bigger and more common over here; I get quite spoiled with them! I hope you find some beauty flats over there sometime soon, too. Thanks for watching 🥰

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

@@SandCoffeeRocks Maddie, sometime we do find flats but I only have a couple that are over 2 inches in diameter. Usually they are around an inch in diameter or smaller over my way. Anyways, beautiful 😍
