Notes: THIS SHELL HAS A FULL CIRCLE STORY- "I PURCHASED A SHELL COLLECTION RECENTLY THAT HAD HAWAIIAN SHELLS AS I LIVE IN HAWAII. I IMMEDIATELY GASPED WHEN I STARTED LOOKING THROUGH IT. IT HAD SHELLS FROM 3 MILITARY LOCATIONS. GUAM. HAWAII. WHIDBEY ISLAND. THE COLLECTOR WAS EX-MILITARY & ONCE STATIONED HERE IN HAWAII. KNEW SOME OF THE LATIN NAMES. SO MAYBE I KNEW HIM FROM OUR LOCAL SHELL CLUB? THEN THE BIG ONE HIT. LANGFORD SCALLOPS! HE HAD THEM. WOW! A BAG OF THEM. THEN IT REALLY HIT ME HARD. LOCATION WAS PIGGY BANKS. I WAS SPEACHLESS. I FOUND UNMARKED UNDERWATER GUYOTS OF DEBREE THAT FORMED BANKS OFF OAHU THAT'S NOT ON ANY UNDERWATER MAY. I FOUND THESE BANKS A LONG TIME AGO AND THEY WERE RICH IN LANGFORD SCALLOPS. I NAMED THEM PIGGY BANKS & ONLY A HANDFUL OF MILITARY DIVERS KNEW OF THIS SPOT SINCE I ALSO FOUND BOMBS & A JAPANESE TORPEDO FROM A MINI-SUB THERE. THIS COLLECTION W/NO ATTACHED NAME CAME FROM SOMEONE THAT I TOOK THERE MANY YEARS AGO! AND MOST LIKELY A MILITARY DIVER AS BACK THEN I BELONGED WITH 3 MILITARY DIVE CLUBS. THE COLLECTOR KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING & GOT THE NAMR RIGHT & USED MY NAME FOR THIS AREA. CHRONOLOGICALLY HE STARTED COLLECTING IN APRA HARBOR & OROTE IN GUAM. THEN OFF THE MILITARY BASES IN HAWAII. FINALLY SHORE COLLECTING OFF COLD WHIDBEY ISLAND IN PUGET SOUND! I KNEW THIS GUY! BUT HIS NAME APPEARS NOWHERE IN THIS COLLECTION. THE EBAYER WHO I PURCHASED THESE BOXES FROM REFUSES TO GIVE ME ANY INFO AS WELL ONLY THAT IS WAS PART OF AN ESTATE SALE".
