The Nautilus Shell is found via foraging at The Beach in Winter. The player may randomly receive one in the mail from Demetrius. It can also be received as a gift at the Feast of the Winter Star. It may also spawn on the Beach Farm during any season. It may also be found foraging on levels 1-29 of the Mines while the Shrine of Challenge is enabled, or the Danger in The Deep quest is active. It can also be gifted by a pet turtle with max friendship, or randomly found at the Traveling Cart for 
360–1,000g. One Nautilus Shell can be purchased from Demetrius' shop at the Desert Festival for 
50 Calico Eggs.
Several Crab Pot fish may produce a Nautilus Shell in a Fish Pond when the population of the pond reaches 9.
