This song is overplayed on my local stations,

Kate,...our local station plays stuff to death! we refer to it as "Stairway to freebird" syndrome.[]


Suzanne,...at least he relented and didn't press the issue...that's a good thing.

I have never been bothered by any type of law enforcement while on a dig/search, though I know it's likely to happen someday, the town reports contain information of calls the police handled, quite a bit of them are labeled "suspicious person." I did get questioned one time while walking the river up by a garage ( I was only up by the garage land for a few seconds avoiding the pricker bushes.) the guy just asked what I was doing there, I told him looking for bottles, he said as long as I stay by the river there won't be a problem. I haven't been back to that particular river spot since than, mostly because I didn't see any signs of anything anyway. He didn't give me any trouble though, he left once I told him what I was doing down there I just never go there.

these battery jars never heard of them, are they scattered along the tracks or were they dumped in certain ares as which it seems your saying?

Ahh, the good old days when Rick was out there derailing trains.
Battery jars are in round concrete bunkers set in the ground in rural areas along tracks. Usually they are smashed to smithereens.

Privydigger has a picture of a battery jar in an attachment, see above. There are many different types.

Railroad battery jars are very big with very thick irregular glass. They date from 1911. Maybe when I can get one together I'll post a picture. I couldn't find the resin yesterday. Oh, bitter dissapointment! I was wondering, is there something called hextl or hexall to fix glass with?

It's not people suing, it's "Homeland Security".

Easier to buy than steal, so why don't ya buy one?

I did buy one but it's nowhere near as cool as the ones I found. It's a newer model with a lot of etching in the glass from being buried. Being a newer bottle, the glass doesn't have the cool irregularities.

My friend Robert and I used to buy a case of whatever, drive out to a remote area along the tracks at night and have some fun. Of course, that's when we were underage...before we could just go to the bar. Was either that or just hang out in his garage...but we liked the tracks..
