Or is there even such a thing as luck?

I've been going out semi-regularly for almost 2 full years aggressively threadless probing since I initially found my first intact threadless quite accidentally on a swampy stretch of the local CN line while pursuing DOMINION - 42s.

So maybe it's just math? Say I've been out hunting 3 dozen times in that two year period looking specifically for threadless insulators (no pole-watching or probing at modern pole sites). Maybe I was just due for another find since it had been so long since anything had turned up.

Either way, when Shawn Long of Windsor, Ontario came up to my place for a visit and to spend a few days, we headed out for what was supposed to be just a quick threadless hunt at the same location I found that 742 two years back, I'm sure neither one of us expected to come home with anything. It was Shawn's second ever aggressive threadless hunt, and I was just getting used to not finding anything.

However, things fortunately didn't work out as planned. While trying to demonstrate to Shawn the exact spot where I had found the unembossed 742 two years before, I stuck my probe in the ground as an indicator, and was certainly surprised to hear the clink of glass on the other end...

Upturning some dirt, this is the sight I was confronted with...
