G'day Fuller Family 👋🏻🌊 Hehe, that's why a perfect shell is often call "gem" or "gem condition" - some people truly regard sea shells like treasures!! Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Fuller Family 👋🏻🏖️ Ohhh it was a nice one; it's as good as you can find an empty one!! Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Roxann 👋🏻🏖️ Haha, I fumble a lot of shells, so it's nice to save it when I can! I'm glad I found a few favourite this time, I think you picked well with the bonnet and cowries 😲 Ohhh someone else was mentioned that too; I don't often show the scenery 😅 Phew, I'm happy I took the time to do it on this occasion; it added a story element to the episode? I thought it was fun 😊 Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Nati 👋🏻🏖️ Oh trust me, Australian land snails can still get a little bigger than these medium sized ones!! Ahhh alas no; I don't sell any shells for various reasons 😅 I'll let everyone know if that ever changes, as a few people have expressed interest. If you'd like, I can recommend some Australian shell sellers (they ship internationally) that you might like to try?

@@SandCoffeeRocks Hi Maddy.... still bigger than that.? 🥰wow! That's amazing! I 'd really love to have some of these 😋 ours here are lovely and very special, too but way smaller unfortunately. Yeah, would be great if you could give me some adresses,thank you very much! Have a lovely evening. 🥂

G'day Nelly 👋🏻💖 Hehe, I have found an even larger Granulated Frog Shell (and it was intact!) in an episode that no many people watched...maybe you will uncover it one day?? Or you can ask for a link 😉 But also, I'm quite jealous?? Do you find many intact ones at your beaches? Even small, they are beautiful shells!!! I wish they were more common here 🐚 Thank you so much for watching the old adventures 🥰

@@SandCoffeeRocks if u don't mind ,can u share the link please? 🥺 Idk if the granulated frog shells is common or not, but i have few intact ones (after almost a year i only have less than 10,maybe it means rare?), but they are small, thts wht i was shock u found a big one

G'day Reet 👋🏻💖 My thoughts exactly!! There is something very appealing about glossy round things??? 🤣 Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Annie 👋🏻🏖️ Ahhh, there really wasn't much this time, but somehow the shell display turned out ok?? I really thought it was going to be my saddest shell display ever 😂 the teeny tiny sand dollars really made a difference this time! Thank you so, so much for watching the little adventure 🥰

G'day Francesco 👋🏻🏖️ I think you found one of my favorite trips here; lots of glossy cowries and shells in very nice condition! Ohhh the Polinices powisianus is lovely; a rarer find here, they only show up once in a while. Phalium areola is much more common, but a dark one in nice condition is something special 🤩 Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰

G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ Ohhh I'm so glad you liked them! That limpet really stood out, even after it dried. The coral is always such a cool find here: I think beach goers have been spoiled with it lately 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G’day Salty Yurio 👋🏻🐚 That’s an interesting question, and, like you expect, the answer isn’t without complications. To my knowledge, you are allowed to take a limited number of some live creatures from some beaches around Queensland; those beaches cannot be in marine national parks (like many areas around the Great Barrier Reef, Great Sandy Straight, etc), conservation areas, and specific no gastropod collection zones (like the Moreton Bay region). Other states have similar laws, with WA being more strict in some areas, and NT possibly being no collection at all. So technically, you can take home some live creatures from locations that aren’t against the law in QLD, however I would urge you not to do so unless you have a fully equipped home for them and are knowledgeable about how to care for these creatures. They need a salt water tank/environment (yes, even the hermit crabs; they have different needs than the mostly sand-bound ones that used to be in the pet stores) as well as food that conforms to their diet. Cowries eat algae on the rocks, crabs eat whatever they can, and nudibranches eat tiny nutrients that come in on the tides. Other snails are predatory and eat other molluscs. I think any of these creatures would be extremely difficult to care for; there aren’t really any aquarium instructions for them, and if I recall correctly, even the hermit crabs from the pet store were notoriously difficult to look after properly. While hermit crabs are hardy, they have needs that might not be easily fulfilled without expert knowledge and experience. So, while it might be a fun idea to get a free pet from the beach, I caution you about the time, effort, and cost that will go towards caring for these creatures. Thank you for this thought provoking question 🤔😉

G'day Di 👋🏻❤️ Oh goodness, thank you for coming along for the adventure, even the small ones like this 🐚 Did you have a favourite from this one?

Oh yes, I didn't call it by its name in this video, did I? It is indeed a Worm Cone, though it's also sometimes called a Chaldean Cone or an Astologer's Cone! It turned out to be a nice one after a bleach bath ☺️

G'day Ari 👋🏻💖 This was a fun one ❤️🙏🏻

Heheh, I think I'd call it a coffee bean instead of a seed 😂 I originally called my channel Sand & Coffee Rocks because I think Arabian Cowries look like a coffee bean and a rock became one object 🤣 Thanks again for watching 🥰

Hmmm I'm not sure how many drupes I have 😲 if I count the ones in my cabinet, I have 4 or 5 on display on there - my best of several species that can show up at the beaches here 🏖️ Did you collect all of yours too?

Hehehe, thank you for watching this one 💖 it's not even Christmas right now 😂

Hey Ari 👋🏻🏖️ Haha, you watch my shelling videos 😉 I just go to the beach a lot and keep looking 👀 They're not an uncommon shell here, but finding them in nice condition with the hairy periostracum on them is not common. I have been lucky over the last two years!! Thanks again for watching 🥰

Sometimes, you can't have all of the seashells in your house at the same time 😂 there isn't enough room! And yesss, I think some sea creatures or other beach goers might enjoy them more ❤️

Hey Ari 👋🏻🐚 Ahhh it's a combination of things; mostly the time they take to make, but also the fact that most of the shells with hairy/brown periostracum on them are all Hairy Triton shells, so it might be too much like making the same Short over and over? I don't know if people would continue to like it 🤔 but I do have some Hairy Tritons that I need to clean, so maybe I should make a few more Shorts for them. Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 Hehe, I thought you might like the limpet 🤩 it's a surprisingly nice one; I usually have to remind myself to show/pick up limpets, but this one was a nice pick for everyone, I think? I do like the cowries but ahhh, so the favourite is the Tent Shell!! I'm glad that you mentioned it; i should have showed it at the end too. It's a really lovely and unusual shell to find here. Thank you so, so much for watching 🥰

G'day Ari 👋🏻🏖️ Awww that's ok, I know you have school work and lots of other things to do ☺️ I love your comments ❤️ but I won't be too sad if you can't comment for a while 😉 I'm just glad that you like the videos! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

G'day Bonnie Julien 👋🏻❤️ Thank you so much, it was a little one, but I'm glad I had something to show after a rainy week here 🌧️ Thanks for watching 🥰

G'day Disco DJ 👋🏻🐚 Ohhh that's called a "Super Thanks" and it's a donation that this person made to me (Yohanna is extremely generous!!) and it highlights their comment. It also encourages the person who made the video (me) to respond to the comment...I try to respond to every comment, but I understand that some channels with millions of subscribers wouldn't be able to reply to each and every one. As for your question, it's a Super Thanks, and clicking on it might have prompted RU-vid to see if you also wanted to make a Super Thanks comment of some kind. I'm glad it didn't charge your account as you didn't send it or intend to send one 😉 I don't ask for Super Thanks (just a like 😁 or a sub if you want to see more) because people are here to be entertained, and not to open the purse strings. I am very grateful if someone does though! I'm grateful for every comment too, thank you for spending your time to leave one 🤩 and thanks for watching 🥰 (edited for typos)
