Beginner collection for Children

[GrandpaPatrick]

Hi David,
I thought I was here by myself. Thanks for the reply.
I have fibromyalgia and can't go to shows. I will need
to do this all online. I need to first generate a list of
the shells and then research which are available online
and which are affordable. I have not decided against
purchasing an entire collection from someone once I
have become knowledgeable enough on the subject.
This is a long term project for me. I may not be done
with it for many months. I want to learn while I am
putting it together.

I am doing the same with rock tumbling. It takes
some time to learn the rocks, which tumble best,
learning the terminology and what NOT to do, etc.
Everything is not as easy as you think it is I have
found.

So being new with shells I don't know the terms
yet. So I don't know what GEM shells are or what
cowries are. Do cows back into big shells?

Any suggestions? I am thinking about starting
by buying the poster North American Seashells
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E0...EHEHJWLRBX
as a good starter. What do you think?
Thanks again for your help.

Warmly,
GrandpaPatrick
