The above glass and porcelain shards were found by Mike Spadafora and Paul Greaves on private ranch land during the summer of 2004 in Colorado. They would easily spend a half-a-day just hiking to the old line and then hours doing extensive searches at individual pole sites; however, they were eventually able to reassemble these insulators.

In my opinion, if you don't have a least an hour and the tools to extensively search an individual pole site to get every last piece of glass – maybe you should just leave the site and the glass shards alone.
