Amazing find, Al. How did you discover this "nest"? Did you probe the first one and find the others just by digging for the first? Anyway you found it, nice work.

Gotta agree, this has to be one of the best threadless finds EVER!!!!! People find nice pieces periodically, but never such quality in such quantity. Coming to Barrett's gathering in 2 1/2 weeks? If so, what's the odds of the attendees seeing a "line-up"? Congratulations on this spectacular discovery. Makes you think, if a lineman stashed several poles worth here, did he also do this on other parts of the same line? Maybe every 3rd, 4th or 5th pole. All I can say is "KEEP DIGGING!!!!!!!!"

Good on you!
We just don't have those opportunities out West.
We have the Collins Overland Telegraph, but that was hit hard by earlier collectors.
Lately, I just get guys trying to sell me clear Dominions for $10 each. lol.
Enjoy and continued good luck.
Canadian glass is COOL!

Alan,

Someone told me about your post, and I didn't really quite beleive them until I saw it for myself.

You must have had some good curse words come out of your mouth when you found that stuff. I know I sat looking at my screen for awhile with my mouth open and shaking my head. I've never even dreamt of such a find.
