Yes, I would be interested in a list of what you were able to find back
then.  Our family made several trips to San Carlos in the early 70's as
well, and that is pretty much where my interest in shell collecting
began.  I have not been back since, and of course there has been
tremendous development down there over the past 15 years or so.  I'm
curious has to how all that has affected shelling in that area.
