I was worried to mention that after storms shelling is improved due to
the deeper
sand is tossed ashore.   I'm sorry to say that the land overlaid to much
onto it.

I also suspect some of the deeper in the ocean waste that New York dumps
from the
sewer and such has come ashore.

The whole thing is a fall trick of Mother Nature.

If you go out, clean up you and the shells, car and truck and
equipment.  One never knows.
