Indeed, the small glass object you've dug up is a lightning rod insulator. These were used to insulate the grounding wire on lightning rod systems running down the side of buildings. In use, these would have a metal bracket that would allow them to bolt in to the side of the building, with the small glass tab on the side of the insulator keeping it stuck on the bracket. Here's a picture of the full set-up. http://www.insulators.info/pictures/?id=218478144 And here are a couple in use: http://www.insulators.info/pictures/?id=244309604 A good find for certain! Keep up the good digging! _____________________________ Barrett N. (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 68

Thanks for the link Sergio.  I almost tossed that thing into the discard pile.  Glad I held on to it.  Thanks for all the help identifying it.  That's what so cool about this forum, so many knowledgeable folks on here.   Buster. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

Don't know anything about it but I've seen it in a photo of a gas station collector somewhere.  Maybe clean it up and paint it.

I'm wanting to hit the Ol dump and trestle dump real hard, but things just keep popping up.  Just not enough time. I'm about due for a Hooky Day from work.  Have to think of a reason. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to mr.fred) Post #: 79

RE: Back To The Ol Dump - 10/18/2010 2:35:11 PM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline I used about an hour of Friday's time off to go back to the dump. Someone asked "How deep do you dig a dump?".  You dig until you reach the original bottom.  It may be one feet or twenty feet.  Hope that the different layers show in this pic.  You can tell that this has not been disturbed because of the different layers.
