If you have red overmolded shotgun shells I will trade for them. Credit for the photo goes to brickarms/enigmabadgerI am getting one and only want 2 more.
Love these, but can't remember where I picked them up. These days I tend to just take photos and leave the shells on the beach
Abalone shells have such a terrific texture and yield such a fantastic "meat" when prepared properly.
As the backwaters are usually shallow, men collect shells that are used for making handicrafts for the tousists.

The Shell Grotto, Pontypool | Groto Cregyn
The Shell Grotto was originally constructed circa 1794, although many improvements were made by Molly, the wife of Capel Hanbury-Leigh around 1830.
Molly is credited with the interior design and it is known that she subscribed to the publication "Follies and Grottoes".
The Shell Grotto is circular, built of rough stone with a conical stone tiled roof. The ceiling is vaulted and supported by six pillars decorated with stones and shells. The floor is reputed to be made from deer bones but closer inspection reveals a variety of bones and teeth from a number of different animals.
The Shell Grotto was always a popular attraction for sightseers but was, unfortunately, allowed to fall into decay around thirty years ago. However, it's structure rose from the ashes in 1996 when it was painstakingly restored with funding from Cadw and European Aid.
The unknown story of the broken sea shells collectors
At Uadaypur sea beach (3km from Digha at the Bengal-Orissa state border), hundreds of poor villagers (80% of them are women) gather on a particular time of the day at the peak of the low tide. They all carry a small net basket for collecting broken shells following the line of the waves. When the baskets are half-filled they empty their catch at the beach and go back to the waves again. Finally the shells are packed in bags for selling. After two hours of continuous hard work, two people together can fill only a 30-kg bag selling for INR Rs 30 (USD 50 cents) only.
The shells are rich source of calcium carbonate, use in feeder mainly at the India's growing poultry industry. Also, it has great demand in making the white (lime) paint. Traders and middlemen are always waiting to exploit these poor villagers. They make on-the-spot payment, collect the bags and transport them to the local market for a hefty profit of 300% by selling each bag for at least Rs 100 (USD $ 2).
I personally talked to the shell collectors and found no Govt. intervention to stop this exploitation. The state government can easily intervene by forming a cooperative and collecting the shells themselves by their nodal agencies with a reasonable price.
