John -- this was a thread about a year ago. Precision scientific instruments,
ultrasonic devices, chemical agents...you name it, the relative merits of all
were well covered!!
Take the advice my Grandmother gave me when I was 5 years old, clutching my
first shell: "Put it out on an ant hill, dear, let them do the work!"
Smaller shells? Smaller ants!
(Maybe you want to cover the shell/hill with a weighted box to keep other
varmints away, but, hey, in an afternoon, a hungry colony of ants can do the
work of a team of Conchologists!!)
