Hi Nora...

That was probably done by some deranged shell enthusiast!  Besides, I can
imagine what the misinformed news media must think what a "conch" is.  We
cringe whenever anyone refers to them as "cawnch" (emphasis on the "ch" as in
"change" ) But you can be rest assured that we will all be down by the
beaches soon to see what did wash up.

Happy Shelling

Richard
