Bronze Shell sidewalk attachment

Not sure where to post this question. We would like to attach our bronze Camino shell way marker that we purchased at the conclusion of our Camino this summer to our entry sidewalk. I did a search and can’t find a discussion on how this is done. Has anyone attempted this? Do we embed it in wet cement? Do we attach it with some type of adhesive? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Two-part construction resin on to a clean dry surface. Rather than use the ‘supermarket’ options I’d suggest going to a builders-supplies outlet and explaining what you want to do.

Wear disposable plastic gloves when you’re handling it and don’t shake hands with anyone until you’ve disposed of the gloves.

Don’t expect to be able to relocate it if you ever move house. In the event of nuclear war the survivors will be the rats, cockroaches and your Camino shell marker.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
If you do want to be able to take it with you should you ever move house, could you follow @henrythedog's advice, but mount it on a paver that sits in your garden?
Good advice, but - surely moving house is a good excuse to simply do another Camino, which naturally warrants purchasing another Bronze marker?
 
Whilst a great idea in its start up form, so one small question, I may have missed, is the affixing going to be on your private property, a body corporate area or on a public footpath/sidewalk? If its your property, no problems, if its the other two you might need permission. But overall as I said at the beginning a great idea that will identify you as a pilgrim. Cheers
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
Thank you all! I am still laughing my head off at Henry the Dogs advice! It is in our private walk way so no issues. Will follow his advice. Thanks everyone!

I'd like to take our bronze shell when we move (hopefully in a couple more years) so we attached the shell on our front stoop with 3M double sided tape. It has survived a wet and icy winter and two very hot summers. It has not worked loose or wiggled any. When we move, all we need to do is use a long flat blade (read oscillating tool) between the shell and concrete to take it to our next home.
