Hi, Skip.
 
It's a pleasure to have another cowry-phile attached to CONCH-L.
 
Hopefully, you've already discovered THE CAPTURED COWRY at
http://www.oaktree.net/makuabob/  and/or its Archive site at
http://www.geocities.com/~makuabob/
 
I'm not a seller/trader. I'm locked into transcribing cowry-
related articles from the Hawaiian Shell News and Griffiths'
THE COWRY, at present.
 
It's always nice to have another wall to bounce ideas off of.
Welcome!
