Conch shells are everywhere in such quantities as to be difficult to
get rid of.

They take them to Nassau and sell them to cruise boat passengers for
$5 each. $10 if they knock the tip off and make a horn.
Old oars go for $20 if you know Sargent Johnson ;-)

If you'll walk behind any of the little food places, you'll find piles of conch
shells with the tips knocked off. They do that to get the conch out so they can
cook up some conch stew.

At least it was that way back in the mid-60's.
