Super low tide this time is about 0.1m, but with the gentle, calm waves, it felt even lower. Lots of usually dangerous or inaccessible rock pools were opened up, and wow, I found some lovely surprises! Actually, the most surprising was all of the rare and hard to come by minis on the sand... I wasn't expecting that with the extreme tides this week! Thanks 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!

Want to become a shell nerd too, or found something you want to ID?
Here's some useful links for local shellers:
Shells of SE Queensland: https://www.seqshells.com/seqmarine.php
(Some listings have multiple variations of a single shell species)
Shells of NSW: https://seashellsofnsw.org.au/General...
(Check out the illustrations or "plates" to try and match your finds)
Links for less local folks...
Check out the shell families on Femorale, it's a wonderful resource:
http://www.femorale.com/shellphotos/
(but doesn't include location information unless you filter for it, so might lead to mis-identifications)
You can join this Facebook group for ID advice, just snap a photo and post it:

(Always take the advice/ID with some scepticism... these people are not experts)
You can also try the Conchology website, but it's a little harder to use:

Oh no, they're all scientific names? No worries, just type the scientific name
into the Queensland Museum Network database. It might have a common name listed!

(This works for non Australian shells too! Just check/click on the result to see limited info)
