Went Brick Hunting today and figured I will also try to find some insulators in the wild. There is an old interurban railroad I thought I would look around. Tracks are long gone but the poles are still up. I did some surface searching no digging and failed to find anything. The fallen leaves I’m sure didn’t help but this area goes through a well traveled area of trails etc. Wondering if it may have already been picked over and if it is worth my time. I was thinking of maybe digging around the poles next time out. Any advice is appreciated. I will include some photos of the area. View attachment 232594View attachment 232595

I've always been interested in interurbans and I was wondering, where is this exactly? I read through the thread, and didn't see where you said where this was located although I may have overlooked that.

Yes, it’s a lot of fun! Can find them along creeks. The ones to look for are the ones with names embossed on them. Here are my keepers from yesterday

Thanks! I will check out those resources. I’ll check the digital archives of the local paper

Its a lot of fun! You want to find the ones with the manufacturer name embossed on them. View attachment 232633
I love also collecting old bricks too. I have an area I will have to check out later but it's on a river in the middle of the woods and there are just bricks in the dirt of the bank. could be an old foundation but it is very isolated
