Sometimes it really pays to look carefully ... example:note my personal cover photo of a rotted old pole with numerous damaged multiparts on it ... There is only one original unit ... The damaged yellow one on top. The rest are 1930's replacements ... big deal you might say. Well... what happened to the other 3 multiparts that were first installed on this pole in 1906? Long gone I'd guess because few big things survive 80 years on the ground especially when there are numerous convenient rocky outcrops and a rock filled creek bed to land big multiparts in nearby ... Anyhow, Yesterday I went back to the line up to recover the yellow skirts from the top of this pole that I had left several weeks before on a previous hunt and asked myself the same question ... So assuming the pole was standing and the lineman were changing out damaged insulators, where might they end up? ..." Obviously on the rocks In the creek next to the pole" I thought to myself ...!? OK, I checked and there was some porcelain and an old pin or two in the creek but wait what's that chunk of pipe buried in the dirt and brush at the base this old rotten fallen pole ...lets look around and see what we can find ..[id=427643351]
