G'day Sheila 👋🏻💖 The minis (and the Hairy Triton) really saved the day for me 😁 Ohhh that Grape Cowrie was a nice find in the rock pool too! Still, I hope that I'll find even more on my next trip to the beach 🏖️ wish me luck! All the best to you and your kitties as well...how many are there now??? Thanks for watching 🥰

Good afternoon Maddie, loving the orange drupe. I really like the little spindle. Of course the bird cardita. Actually you found several nice shells. Thanks for sharing. Have wonderful rest of the week.

G'day Roberta 👋🏻💖 The Orange Drupe was a really fun one; looking back, the shape of it was a little more elongated than a lot of other Orange Drupes that I've found here in the past 😲 or maybe that healed break is to blame for that? The Spindle was super cool, it's really not a typical one to see here; I wish they were more common! Ahh and you're still a fan of the Bird Carditas 😍 I found and interesting one to show this time 😁 Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you have a fantastic week as well 🥰

Maddie, I love the frequency of your shelling videos! I know it’s hard work for you; thank you so much!!! 😊 🐚❤️

G'day Sherrie 👋🏻💖 Oh gosh, thank you for saying so; I used to do three videos a week, but the rainy season really hit hard over summer! I think two is better anyway 😉 more manageable for me! I appreciate you, I only just got this video done due to tides/weather - it's been challenging lately even though it should have stopped raining by this time of year 😅 Thank you so, so much for watching!!

Those were some beautiful operculums you found early on! 💛💜💚 I loved the zebra 🦓 volutes, and the limpets 🗻. The worm 🪱 cone was gorgeous. My favorite today was the spindle cowrie. I love its pink color and it’s just such an unusual shell. Great adventure Maddie, thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 They really are lovely little Operculums this time; one it in practically pristine condition 😲 and the other is really nice as well! The Zebra Volutes were nice finds, but wow, the trio of little limpets stood out to you? I'm glad; I thought they might have been overlooked because they were just little guys! Hehe, so the Spindle was the top favourite in the end ❤️ I do remember how much you love those pink coloured shells 😉 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

Hi Maddie, those pools where you were shelling looked very inviting! I loved the grape cowrie and the orange drupe! And yes, I will excuse you the wind😂💨❤xxxxxx

G'day Alison 👋🏻💖 The pools were lovely and clear this time 🌊 and the waves were nice and small! The days have been unseasonable cool over the last week though, not a great time for taking a dip; but that didn't stop the few surfers out there!! Hehe, thank you for excusing the win while I was grabbing up those shells 🐚 the wind seemed to be blowing from all directions instead of just one...made filming a challenge! Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰

Hello Maddie! 🙂 Soooo many great shells today!! I always love the donkey and snake heads so maybe they are my favourites by a smidge. Special mention to the slit limpet and rose spindle.

G'day Oceanluvn Gal 👋🏻🌊💖 Wow, the slit limpet gets a mention!! I though it would be overlooked...I nearly overlooked it 🤣! The Donkey and Snake-head Cowries were just lovely, they are awesome choices for the favourites 🤩 the Rosy Spindle was a cute one as well; though small for this species... I must admit that I like finding them just a lil bigger! Thanks for watching 🥰

I loved the minis at the end. Many shells Ive never seen. Thank you for the Shelling Adventure

hi Maddie,,,I really like the zebra volute...it reminds me of a 19th century gown...like a satin stripe

G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ Those Zebra Volutes are just amazing, aren't they!! I made sure to look up the 19th century satin gowns... YES! They have a very similar stripe and colour set to these shells. I sometimes wonder why the old conchologists called it a "Zebra Volute" and not a "Striped Volute" 🤣 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

Hollaa....holllaaa Maddie... I really like how the triton standing like a king among the other shells when u display them😂 Soooo,today my fav are: 1st orange drupe (its so biggg😮) 2nd migrating moonsnail 3nd nebulose moonsnail Thanks for an interesting video Maddie 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 Hehe, the Giant Hairy Triton really is like a king at this beach; the hair and colour is almost like a lion's mane 🦁! But wowsers, the Orange Drupe is the top favourite this time!!! I say this sometimes, but my hands are small and I hold the shells very close to the camera...the shells are smaller in real life 🐚😅 but yes, the Orange Drupe was a little larger than normal! Hehe ahhh, and the two lovely moon snails are also the favorites as well; I do like coming across those rare Nebulose Moon Snails 🐌! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

The Zebra volutes are my favorites for today!!!!

@@JanHastings-ns7ze I will 😁 it's currently in my "to be cleaned" bucket with the last two Giant Hairy Tritons I found 🤣 I can't believe how time zips past me, but I'll get them done eventually. I'm trying to decide if I should make a cleaning video, or a cleaning Short, or not. I'm gripped by indecision!

Maddie your excitement is contagious. At 06:05 you find the hairy triton. You described everything wonderfully, but I was dying to feel it. Is it hard or soft? Bristly or squishy 😁sorry, but just wanted to know 🐚ty

@SandCoffeeRocks

Ай бұрын

G'day JK 👋🏻🏖️ I've been slow to get back to you, but the texture; I was thinking about it over the last few days, and it's all of the above 🤣 So when the Giant Hairy Tritons's periostracum is wet, it's like soft bristles, but not like real hair or fur, it's like dense wet fluffy grass, if such a thing exists. The shell underneath feels solid, but the hair cushions it to feel softer in comparison. When the periostracum is dry, it's a bit like hard bristles on a toothbrush, but not as uniform...kind feels a little gross, like a crusty pet that needs a bath 😂 I hope some part of my description made sense!? Anyways, thank you so, so much for watching 🥰

I love the tiny shells

The Hairy Triton is going to look amazing; the shell underneath has been very well cared for by the original snail; it really protected its shell with that thick periostracum. With this, I actually have 3 Giant Hairy Tritons that need the transformative bleach bath...I really let my shells sit for too long!!! Thanks for watching 🥰

Hi Maddie, Hairy triton and rosy spindle cowrie were favs today. Need to ask favor. A friend found a cone in FL that is definitely not local and I think it way be from your part of the world. Having tough time ID’ing Would you be willing to take a look? If you are willing, not sure of best way to send you short (10 sec) video?

The best way to send a short video is probably via Instagram 🤔 try to send a message to me over here: instagram.com/sand.coffee.rocks/ You can also go into my "About" section here on KZread to find my email address...I don't want to type is here because I KNOW I'm going to get spammed by robots trying to hack me address again 😅 they seem to crawl over comments sections more than anywhere else on KZread. Anyway, you can also try my Facebook Page too: facebook.com/SandCoffeeRocks and send a message to me there. I usually reply to social media messages much faster than emails, too 😉
