(NB   this email is about shells)

thanks for the responses to my query ....for anybody who finds themselves  in the area,  and likes big Busycon- a souvenir shop along Route 13 near Cape Charles VA (R and T Nautical Gifts)  was selling very large Busycon carica , many in decent shape  (including at least one or two that were approaching the "Old" WRS of 281mm); and the owner's husband  was able to supply locality data (he collected them).  Every now and then one of those kinds of places turns out to be a good place to shell. 

Perhaps some of you have had good luck shelling that way?
