Any collectors out there?

Hey Insulators Rule,
Would you post some pictures of your insulators from the giant insulator dump?
What a find you have come across, lucky guy!

I will when I can post photos of a reasonable size.... its telling me I cant attach photos larger than 100KB, I cant make my photos that small and have them still visible!

Here's my insulator collection. Not as many as I use to have, but still some nice pieces.

I think there are a bunch of insulator people here.

Hey Kyle -- you can reduce the photo file size in Paint by reducing the photo's size and also reducing the resolution. That usually gets it under the 100K limit.

Hey Inkman,
Nice left overs from your collection (would have liked to have seen your whole collection).
Nice display case. Did you make it yourself?

OK, here are my pictures!

First one is of a small group of pieces that are cleaned up. This dump is almost all CD 102 Diamonds and Brookfields. Also has alot of CD 108 Dominions. As you can see, we found a few CD 200 Transpositions, and we had also found a few broken CD 190/191s, which I hope to recover some whole ones before this is all over.

Next is another shot of that group showing a few neat pieces.

Here is an overview of almost everything we brought home. There is probably about 15 insulators missing from the group that have already been cleaned up.

This was the most common piece we found in the dump. We found alot of these.

Within a few minutes of starting to dig, we were finding enough that if we found any Diamond 102s in aqua that were chipped, or Brookfield 102s with a chip, they were tossed over the shoulder. I think pretty much every single Dominion-9 was left there except for a few, even without chips. We kept the chipped up Diamond 102s that were in other colours(olive green) or the CD 200 Transpositions that were chipped though.

That is a lot of insulators. How do you clean them? I have some of the 102's, but not sure what I have.
Keep us updated with your finds and thanks for posting.
