I find it interesting that light bulbs survive the dump that I dig in, it's a burn dump with a lot of slag metal and the usual stuff.

I found a similar one before & was amazed it was not broke after being under 3 or 4 feet of dump debris. Not sure what time frame mine was but had to be around turn of the Century. LEON.

Most of the dumps I dig are about 60 to 80 years old, even so, I find lots of unbroken lightbulbs, I still always shake my head when another pops out unbroken.
