Kobie,
Welcome to Conch-L. I am sure you will find some fellow micro shell
enthusiasts. I am like you in that I pretty much collect everything (tried
to specialize but finally realized it was just not in my character). I am
also married with two daughters -- but mine are grown and have left the nest
(except for occasional bits of "I need help, Dad"). I really look forward
to your web site as I have a few South African micro shells (Coffee Bay)
that I had almost given up on ever identifying. If you have the time, I
would like to scan a few for you and see if you maybe know what they are.
There is no hurry in this as I realize we all get tied up with work and
chores.
In any case, welcome again. There are a couple of your countrymen with whom
I have traded shells.
