Piggy doesn't find the conch Ralph does. I quote... "What's that?" Ralph had stopped smiling and was pointing into the lagoon. Something creamy lay among the ferny weeds.
piggy is the only one with the insight and wisdom to think to use the conch in such a way
yes he does; the conch dies too
the Conch is destroyed along with Piggy Page 181 " The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploding into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist." Piggy is holding it up for order, and then Rodger leans all his weight onto the lever, than causes a bolder to fall; killing Piggy, the symbol for the adult world, and destroying the conch, the symbol for civilization. Jack then states that since there is no conch, then their tribes doesn't exist, he then proceeds to declare himself chief and tries to kill Ralph with his spear.

Piggy protects the conch shell when Jack returns. The conch shell symbolizes order, civilization, and democracy on the island. Piggy tries to uphold these values even in the face of Jack's rising savagery.

Piggy tries to protect the conch shell when he and Ralph are attacked. The conch shell symbolizes order and civilization on the island, and Piggy believes it's important to hold onto it to maintain some semblance of control.
In "Lord of the Flies," the character named Piggy finds the conch.
In "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, Piggy is the first to suggest that they don't need the conch anymore. He argues that the conch has lost its power and influence over the boys.
Ralph initially spots the conch shell in the lagoon but Piggy identifies it and tells Ralph that it can be blown, although he is unable to do it himself because of his asthma. Piggy instructs Ralph in the correct technique to use to get a sound from the conch shell. You could say that they form a partnership in which Ralph leads by action and original thought but his actions are influenced by Piggy's ideas. Piggy is essentially his technical expert.
