While digging around in a not-too-distant part of the dump, I was thrilled to see a piece of insulator glass fall into my hole! Expecting the Hemingray and Brookfield signals we had been finding all morning, I was even more ecstatic to see that the piece of glass I picked up to examine was a large fragment from a telegraph style which, to this day, still eludes my collection entirely. The closest I have come to acquiring an intact example is a vertical half which I found within the first 3 months of collecting. Yes - the prospects in this dump increased 3 fold when I realized I had dug 1/4 of a shining blue-aqua CD 136.4. Nice milk stringers to boot!
