A dig on Saturday turned up a vein of insulators, probably 40 in total but many were broken, as were most bottles & jars around them. The things are like glass rocks when thrown on the dumps! Usually find one or two insulators in most dumps but this one was crazy! Looking online this seems would be a CD117, only marking is an ampersand on skirt (&) Ended up with three of those that were not really damaged, all the others have pretty major cracks, bruises or pieces missing. All in all it was a good day! [:)]

I always seem to find a few insulators in every dump, wondering if its just me or do other diggers come across them regularly as well? As per the dug item survival rate one of the three was a really nice piece!
