It really was, she specifically claimed they didn't even know what clams were.

>“They know now at the beach don’t touch anything, ***but they know now what a clam is***, compared to what a seashell is now, I’ve had to explain that to them,” she said.
Clams are 6-8" deep in the part of the beach that's always wet, so you don't just stumble across them building a sand castle or burying someone in the sand.
Clams are found looking for the little telltale spout of water out of the sand, they aren't just lying around in the open, so if you're looking for seashells why would you go digging in six inches of wet sand for them exactly where a clam is? That's seventy-two holes they dug. Unless they excavated the entire beach then they knew right where to dig and that means they knew what they were looking for.
