Most of what you see is a small portion from over 20 years of insulator hunts in Wyoming. The shards are of "hats" found along the old UPRR beds (now on private land – hunted with permission). The RR spikes I am told represent the various track gages. I think the smaller spikes were in "spur" lines to mines. The shards are mostly from the CD 735. One of them is embossed "IDDLE". The bolt with the fancy washers is from SE Arizona. There maybe embossed dates, but they are too rusted to read. There was a similar one through a RR tie. I am not sure why a bolt with washers would be on a tie. The arrow head was found and handed down for a couple of generations from a family member. I am not sure where it came from, but it looks to be authentic.

The arrowhead, the mineral and petrified rock are pending.

The remaining items I will sell for $15 plus shipping.

I will also sell pieces individually.

I prefer PayPal NO Fee / Family & Friends, but will also take a MO or check.
