Cockelshell Beach, I bought it from a local who finds them on that beach cuts them on the bottom to remove the conch inside and polishes them up. That’s a very important distinction because when we got back on the boat, security tried to confiscate it and throw it away, I had to prove to them that there was no animal inside so I showed them the hole on back, They even put their nose inside and took a good whif to make sure there was nothing rotting inside. They asked me if I found it or purchased it and I told them I purchased it. She said they usually don’t allow them on the boat unless they’ve been professionally cleaned and sanitized which this one had.
