Seashell Collecting - The Hobby That Halted When Princess Diana Died!
Seashell collecting was one of the recreational sports where strangers could meet, exchange phone numbers and addresses immediately– based on common love for their unique sport. As a lifelong collector, I have 10,000 of the world’s most beautiful and unique seashells– including every type of known and collectible seashell-even a Siamese conch. Over the past 10 years I observed the slow demise of what was once one of the world’s most popular pastimes-seashell collecting. The last person I encountered shell-hunting was Princess Diana, a few months before her tragic death. Sad to say: it seems as if the sport stopped after her death.
