Thanks

[@johannaandrews]

All those gorgeous little cowries and they all had different names ❤❤🐚🐚

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Annie 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my goodness, thank you so, so much for the Super Thanks 😲 you really do way too much 🙏🏻 I never expected anything like this, thank you for your generosity. I don't have a behind the scenes story for this one; it was just a clear windy day at the beach 🏖️ it was so windy that I thought the shells in my display would blow away! I set them up on the river side of the point next to the walking path... Lots of people walk past; I think at least three people thought I was crazy 🤣 I hope you are well. We are getting a heat wave here this weekend; will the weather be warming up for you as well? It might be a good time to get to the beach and find some shelly treasures 😁 Thank you so much, and thanks for watching 🥰

@@SandCoffeeRocks Your welcome Maddy 👌🏻🌈🌈 I think all the locals at my little beach must be noticing me collecting shells every other day , I have my little bag to put the shells in and with head down I take forever to get form one end of the beach to the other lol so much fun 🐚🐚🐚 We are cold and windy and rainy here atm did pickup another Pearly Brooch shell yesterday 🏆. Your lucky to have such gorgeous shells so close to home , happy shelling 🐚🪸🐚

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

@@johannaandrews Congratulations on your Pearly Brooch shell!! I know how they they are 😲! Is it lovely and shiny on the inside? Hahaha, yeah, I bet they k ow you by sight...they probably call you the "slow lady" in their heads...better than the "screamy lady" that they probably call me 😂 I think that maybe the locals on your beach might wonder what all the fun is about...you might see them collecting the shells soon! Also, I hope you weather improves...it's not supposed to be so rainy during winter!! Let the warm times come 🌞!

Love the zebra volute and the clubbed murex.thanks for taking us along!!!!

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Judi 👋🏻🏖️ Ohhh I think you picked two of the nicest shells 🤩 I am way too biased towards the cowries 😂 Thank you so much for coming along today 🥰

[@guadalupeknippen528]

Hola Maddie. My favorite today is the zebra volute. Never get tired of your shell hunting. 🌵🐕🇺🇸

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Guadalupe 👋🏻💖 Ohhh that Zebra Volute was a nice one 🦓 it's not too often that I find them with the tip; I leave the tipless ones behind 😅 Thank you for your kind words, and thanks for watching 🥰

[@MiMi-og4wx]

Hello Maddie 👋🏼 Don’t blow away!! 💨 😮 The Black Striped Triton is the favorite of the day. How perfect! The colors are stunning 🤩 The Prickly Spotted Drupe is another favorite! Good looking little bumpy shell… The Club Murex is really good find 😊 Shoutout to all of the Yellow-Tinted Cowries! Thanks Maddie!!! TTFN 👋🏼 ❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Mimi 👋🏻💖 Haha, it's been windy here lately; I wanted to go shelling tomorrow, but I won't because it's going to be almost gale force out there 😧!? Why, how?? Dunno! YES, that little Triton was just so, so adorable 😍 I'm glad it was your favourite too...otherwise, I feel like I'm losing my mind over something small that no on else likes 😅 not that it matters, I still shove Nerites into the videos anyway 😂😂😂! Ohh the Prickly Spotted Drupe is a cute too 🤩 Thank you for all the shell shoutouts, they all need some love 😘 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@Reet64]

Always nice to find something different!

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Reet 👋🏻💖 Ain't that the truth! I love finding the usual shells, and often seek on the nicest and most interesting ones, but dang, finding something rare and different is so satisfying in its own way 🤩 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@lucyrosellini]

Hi Maddie! As always, good finds ! I loved the drupe shell, the triton, and the club murex. I'm always amused with the variety of shells that you have there... ❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Lucy 👋🏻🏖️ You picked some great ones 🤩 the Club Murex is a really fun find; it's a deep water shells, so it doesn't often appear in the rock pools 😲! The drupe is always a lovely find too. I have no idea about the Triton; I've never found one, so I guess it's a rare one here?? I'm so glad that you're enjoying the shells from my corner of the world 🌊 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@nikoletastavropoulou5515]

Amazing shells 🐚 ❤. Congratulations, Maddie.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Nikoleta 👋🏻💖 Thank you, it was a lucky day 🤩🐚❤️ and thanks for watching 🥰

[@trudymcewen9801]

Aftetnoon Maddie, Lots of shells. Favorite Zebra Volute and Club Murex really different. Have a great day. Thank you. Trudy

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Trudy 👋🏻💖 It was a lovely variety today, especially with the Club Murex 🤩 it's a deep water shell, so it rarely shows up in the rock pools like this; no wonder it was worn away 😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@susancosnick3852]

Lovely finds today!! My favourite today is the Music Cone.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Susan 👋🏻💖 I haven't been finding too many cone shells lately, have I? That Music Cone is a lovely pick for the favourite; I think it's been ages since I was able to show a nice one? Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@alisonh890]

Hello there Maddie, I hope life is treating you well. The first find, the bonnet was nice. Oooh lovely drupe. It is a very nice carnelian cowrie. Some very nice cowries. Love the tent shell. Cute display at the end. Thank you Maddie.❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 Oh yes, life's keeping me busy, but in a good way 😁 How about you; and has summer left the British Isles yet? The tent shell got a special mention 🤩 and the bonnets, cowries, and drupe; wow, saying it like this really makes the variety stand out! Thank you for the kind words once again, and thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@marysimonetti5243]

Hey Maddie! I really like the Club Murex! You have such a wonderful selection of great shells to choose from. Lucky you🐚

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Mary 👋🏻💖 The Club Murex is a super lucky find indeed! I believe they live in deeper water, so it's rare to see them washed ashore or into the rock pools...no wonder it was quite worn down, but still lovely! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@JanHastings-ns7ze]

Great haul and the selection you have is amazing! Nice seeing shells I have never seen. This was a very interesting collection of sea shells. Bravo🎉.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Jan 👋🏻💖 There was a nice variety in this one 🤩 Was the Club Murex the new shell for you? It's a rare one because it's a deep water shell; it doesn't often wash up into the rock pools 😲 I felt lucky to see it 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@melissawalch4774]

I love that dark banded bonnet❤ The little triton is just adorable, and the eroded cowries are gorgeous!! You have so many cool cowries there, I'm jelly!

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Melissa 👋🏻💖 Ohhh you picked some lovely favorites 🐚 I think your the first one to mention the dark banded bonnet on the comments... I'm glad it's getting some recognition 😉 That little Triton is adorable 😍 and the cowries as well! Yes, I think I've about 30 different cowrie species at this beach 🏖️ and there are a few more cowrie species that can wash up here, but I haven't been lucky enough to find yet 😲 Thank you so much for watching 🐚🥰

[@bonjulien62]

Another awesome day of shelling. I would love to go to Australia and look for seashells.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Bonnie Julien 👋🏻🏖️ Yess you should totally come to Australia! Just remember: Australia is a HUGE country...you'll have to decide which place is the best for shelling if you come here 😉 I'm in South East Queensland, but they say that Western Australia has the best shells...lots of driving to get to those beaches, though! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@lesliel9791]

maddie just when I thought I've seen everything you find,,,you have this amazing haul today!

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ Hehe, I do feel like I've found at least one of the most typical shells that can wash up here, but yess, sometimes I get a surprise like that Club Murex! Did you know; I keep a list of all the shells I've found from this beach, and the others up north, and I'm at 400 different shell species 🤩 it's been a great few years of collecting!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@pamdudley6153]

Beautiful cowries and cone shells today! ❤ And you know how much I love the operculums!!! 🤸🤸🏼‍♀️🤸‍♂️ That’s me doing cartwheels. 😂 I have two favorites today… the black striped Triton and the Club murex. Both so unusual. 💙🧡💜 I really liked the tent shell too! ⛺️ Another wonderful shell hunt Maddie! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 Cowries and cones abound at this beach 🏖️ but yes, I knew you'd like those Operculums 😂! I'm glad that your favourites and mine matched up...looking back, I think the Club Murex should have been a favourite, but I was too biased towards the cowries 😅 The Black-striped Triton is sooo unusual; I can't remember if I've ever seen this one here before? Must be a rarer one to wash up. Oh the Tent Shell as well; they have been making an appearance ⛺ Thank you so much for watching 🥰❤️💖

[@FloridaBeachWalks]

The cowries with their speckles 😍 The baby triton is my top favorite here too!!!! Bring a little water spray bottle that way when you set up your shells at the end you can mist them down to get the full color in them. Just a suggestion-I do that sometime when taking pics on the beach of my finds 👍🏼 Have a great weekend!

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Roxann 👋🏻💖 The little baby was a cute one; I think it must be relatively rare to see washed ashore here? Anyhoo! I have thought about spritzing the shells with a bit of water or oil at the end, but I always stop myself for a lot of reasons... I think I mostly want the video ending to be as close to the true experience as possible? It also makes me strive to find the best shells that I can, and show people just how lovely they can be without any work. Yes, I do understand how spoiled I am by the beaches here to be able to say that 😅 Thanks for watching 🥰 and keep any suggestions coming; I'm always looking for ways to improve and reflect; sometimes I don't see a problem unless it's pointed out to me~

G'day friend 👋🏻🐚 Hehe, thank you so much for watching the big shell finding adventure 🥰

[@jeffreywoitekaitis9470]

Nice haul of cowries today Maddie, always enjoy your videos.

[@jeffreywoitekaitis9470]

With a cup of coffee.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Jeff 👋🏻☕ Ohhh the cowries have been nice lately...no "coffee rocks" (Arabians) yet though!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@GreenThumbGardener65]

Beautiful snake head! The Zebra Volute did it for me today!❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Green Thumb Gardener 👋🏻☘️❤️ Hehehe that one was a lovely Zebra 🦓 Volute! It's not often that I find one with the tip and in nice overall condition 😁 Thanks for watching 🥰

[@francescocorrias6633]

High Maddie 👋 Beautiful cowrys 😍 I agree too, on the ❤Pterynotus elongatus, not common the ❤Cymatium (Septa) hepaticum, as well ❤Dicathais orbita seems not frequent. Very nice moment 😍 thank you Maddie 💗💗💗💗 great moments and always something new 👏😍👋 Francesco

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Francesco 👋🏻🏖️ I was very surprised to see the Pterynotus elongatus; I'm told that it's a shell that lives in deeper water, so seeing it in the rock pools is quite rare. I wasn't sure if Septa hepaticum was the correct ID... Atlas of Living Australia seemed to think it was a Septa occidentalis?? I think S. occidentalis isn't correct though 🤔 that shell species had a lot of angular textures that this one doesn't have. But it's hard to know for sure. Oh sorry Francesco, the Dicathais orbita is very common...but I don't like them very much, so I don't collect many to show 😅 I know, I'm terrible! Thank you for coming along on another shelling adventure 🥰

[@francescocorrias6633]

@@SandCoffeeRocksHigh Maddie 👋 🥰 , Poor Dicathais orbita 🤣🤣🤣 . There's should be strong currents from the deep and slopes to make a shell come up on the shores, like Pterynotus elongatus 👍 Bye Maddie 👋❤️❤️🐚

[@alisonh890]

Hi Maddie, summer is hanging on by its finger nails, just,but autumn is not far off, you can tell by the subtle changes and big spiders in the house, nothing like you get in Australia though! 🕷️😮 Always love a visit to the beach with you and to see what shells you will find, very exciting. ❤

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

Ahhh that sweet summer, but I'm sure you won't miss the rains that it brings...do you get summer storms? Hahaha ahhh, spiders are creepy no matter where you live 😂 but yes, I think most Australians have things to say about spiders 🕷️ I won't bore you with the horror stories 😉 As always Alison, thank you for coming on these beach trips with me. Oh, I've been meaning to ask; do you ever (or have you ever) make the big trip to that Jurassic Coast beach with all of the fossil seashells? I think it's on the side side of England; not exactly close by!

[@oceanluvngal]

Hello Maddie 👋 I have missed seeing the prickly spotted drupes so that is my fav shell find this video. Special mentions go to: eroded cowrie and yellow tinted cowrie.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 That Prickly Spotted Drupe is really nice 😲 it's not often that I get to show one in such nice condition 🤩 Woohoo, thank you for the special mentions to the cowries...I might be a little biased towards them 😂 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@Danstarla]

Ah the fun of dodging the waves at the point. Shame that's where so many of the good ones hang out. Good little haul today.

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Danielle 👋🏻🏖️ Oh yes... but that's part of the fun 😂 and it makes those shells feel earned in a way 🐚 actually, I think I would have been just as happy with these shells without having to fight the waves 😅 but anyway! Thank you, it was a cute haul with a lovely of variety 🤩 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@nellyjune9828]

Hiii Maddie 🎉 Some of your shells today are so rare (at least in my eyes) And those are my fav today, 1st is the club murex 2nd is septa triton (?) 3rd black mouthed sand snail I always very super excited seeing seashells tht sooo rare in my eyes 👀 Thank you for interesting adventure today Maddie 🎉🎉

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 You find so many shells that I'd call "rare" too - I still can't believe that you find those big cone shells! Though saying that, the Club Murex is a rare find for me too; it's usually a deep water shell, so it rarely washes up to the rock pools. The Septa Triton, I don't know, but I've never seen one here; only in shell books 😲 I'm glad you liked the Sand Snail as well 🐌 Ok yes, I suppose these ones are an uncommon lot, but I still think the shells you find are rare for me too!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@nellyjune9828]

​@@SandCoffeeRocksAha, the 'deep water shell' make me so interested on shelling😂 I hope i can find them here, Yeah, i think some shells are common in one place,but so rare in other places,

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

@@nellyjune9828 It just means that this species doesn't live in the shallow rock pools; it lives deeper in the reefs, I think 🤔 so the amount of time that one can get washed out of the reefs and up to the rock pools is very rare. For the beach here, many areas of the rock pools that face towards the ocean are like giant rocky steps or ledges...big shells can't make it up the steps even with the waves pushing them along (the "steps" are taller than I am, and run along the length of the beach). The section with the murex has less of a step up from the deep water 🌊 or maybe the waves are rougher there, so there is more force pushing on the shells 😉🐚

[@nellyjune9828]

Hi Maddie 👋 i love cowries

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Ophelia 👋🏻🐚 The cowries are a wonderful family of seashells 🤩 Thanks for watching 🥰

[@dibrown3996]

I love all cowries but I think zebra volute is so special.

What are your favourite beaches to find shells at? (if you're willing to share, i understand if not!). Love your content! :)

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Sienna 👋🏻🐚 Sorry for the slow reply, I missed your comment somehow 😅 It's no secret; I go shelling at Point Cartwright Beach and Dundowran Beach 🏖️ (in Queensland, Australia). Thank you so much for watching 🥰 and I hope you enjoy the future shelling fun as well 🏖️

[@brendagroff8478]

Maddie your episode ended way too soon. Gorgeous sea shells. Thank you

[@SandCoffeeRocks]

G'day Brenda 👋🏻❤️ I agree, this one was shorter than some of the other recent ones 😅 I wish it was longer too...alas, some days are just like that with a few less shell finds 🐚 or maybe I just waffle on less long 🤣?? As always Brenda, thank you so much for watching 🥰
