What are some of the best places to find old bottles or jars, especially ones of significant value? Do you know of any excellent places in north central pa to look for old powerline insulators (the ones that change color over extended periods of time), I'd kind of like to get a small collection of them going.

Hey fishandhunt, Find old houses, then look behind them, old cellar holes, ditches,

outhouse holes, you may need a rake to scratch around with.

Sometimes electric lines ran alongside RR tracks, look along abandoned tracks, hope this helps you...............fossis

While rafting down the Lehigh, I've noticed some of the telegraph/telephone poles still have the original insulators on them.

Hike the railroads with a small shovel. When you find a pole with missing or non matching insulators get to digging. There is a whole mess of them old abandonned power poles along the Hudson on the rr tracks between Poughkeepsie and NY.
