I have got some nice pieces!! I managed to pull 26 insulators and 1 lightning arrestor. I found these after power lines and small power stations were demolished.
I wish I could have a few of those insulators! I need to run away from stupid old Hawaii and live where you live! Collect insulators with you! Cheers from Rylan! Btw those bowl insulators (I call the big insulator with the three sheds bowls if you don't mind) are considered fog bells because they are deeper and have an anti pollution build to them! This is amazing!
Nice to see that you're collecting insulators again in the coming month I'll be doing my third insulator collection video in which I have so much stuff to show it'll be a long long video probably that big Ohio brass insulator I think it's the same exact one as the red glazed one that I have in my second insulator video anyway I love the insulators you got.
@@VariacManiac hey variac are you on Facebook? I've joined a few groups there related to insulators. Im planning on doing some insulator hunting in battle creek and want to invite someone to hike out there with me.
awe man I love insulator hunts I had a chance at some a few months ago but I hate pulling them in front of peoples houses I almost want to give them a chance at getting some.
We also have similar triple ribbed insulators in Russia, as at the beginning of the video. They are quite rare and valuable, produced in 1930-1950, called PR-3.5. These are dirt-resistant suspension insulators, and they were fastened together not with bolts, but with a clamp.
now you have a lot of line insulators. Now you can go for a pothead terminations, and show how its done. There are a various of types. standard 3 phase potheads and the 3 eyed aliens. In denmark we also have this hv potheads, but we also have 30 different types of low voltage potheads and weatherheads, that can't be found In USA or other countries.
Neat! Any glass on that line?? Not into porcelain but they’re neat looking. Porcelain is disappearing from the lines everyday. Snatch them up while you can!
Hey, I see these insulators on the side of a hiking trail at Chicot State Park, LA. I thought they were pretty cool and I didn't understand why the power company left them behind, but I had no use for them and sure wasn't going to carry them a few miles out to the car.
That's cool, maybe you could bring a cart or wagon there and take them out. I just like to collect them. The power company leaves stuff behind usually if they forget about it, or they just don't care to take them out of there either.
Sure, it depends on your location and state. Make sure to keep a 6 foot distance and just try to avoid people. I'm sure you can, but you have to know what laws are implemented in your area, just stay safe and out of trouble :)
Great insulators! unfortunately here in Australia they always take them, but i know a spot that has very new poles deep in the bush, i might try there.
Dang man, nice find!!! That big post insulator can probably withstand lots of volts!! That one suspension is weird, ive seen similar but never one like that. And dude, do you know anywhere in Florida where there are still telegraph poles that I can find glass at? Keep up the good vids!!!
I've seen some, but their rare. I saw a couple of telegraph poles in downtown Lakeland FL and some in Orlando, but I don't know if it's worth the look because of the small amount of them.
Thanks man, I've saw the ones in Lakeland, I'm going there soon to see if I can find anything, if you have any info on the ones in Orlando please let me know
I do not know the street, I just saw them from a distance, but there is a few poles that I saw in Orlando, Tampa might be a good location also, mostly in downtown areas, though they are kind of hard to find. Wish I could give more info.
Thank you for the almost instant feedback! That's good, you should be able to if you know a power company, maybe I should contact our power company's to get some, Never really tried that.
Need advice on best way to remove porcelain guy wire strains from downed poles when the nuts & bolts on the cable connection clamp are rusted & fused. I carry vice grips, claw hammer, crescent wrench & wire cutters in my backpack when hunting but I think it will take big bolt cutters to cut through both of the thick guy wire cables. I don't want to carry big heavy bolt cutters on hunts & I've been thinking I should try cutting through the cables one wire at a time with my wire cutters, how do you get the guy wire strains off both cables when the bolts & nuts on the cable clamps are fused with rust? I've had to leave some nice porcelain strains behind & knowing how you remove them would be appreciated.
I've had similar situations. If you really want them, you could use a battery operated jigsaw to cut through the steel wire, it's a strong wire so this is going to take effort. I won't guarantee it but there are cable cutters that could cut these, but I don't know if they'll work. Try ratchet cable cutters. Or High leverage cable cutters. These are the solutions I would go to if I couldn't get one. Hope this information helps!
Thanks. I'm gonna get a hack saw with a blade for cutting through metal. I think that will work on cutting through the cable or I can saw through the bolt to remove the nuts on the cable end clamp then disassemble the whole thing. I know where those strains are at & I can always go back & get them once I find something that works & is light & easy to carry in my backpack. Thanks again.
Update: I went back to several places & tried to cut the steel cables. You were right they are VERY strong & now I think only the jaws of life could cut through them - LOL..... I'll eventually find some where the nuts & bolts on the clamps aren't fused from decades of rust & I'll be able to remove them from the downed cable, I don't think I'm going to find any laying around loose on the ground. ☺
Thank you sir, I hope to make more in depth insulator hunting videos for you to watch, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I'll be re-visiting these same locations and other ones nearby that I recently found, will see you around :)
@@aussieinsulatorhunter6065 I hope to make an even better and longer one soon. Should be around late December or early January, either way, It's going to be good.

Thank you!! Yes, I kind of thought they were fog bowl types. I don't see them being very common. Awesome, cheers from Michigan.
My question is why is there so many downed powerlines
Their abandoned. Left to decay. They once powered mining facilities that have gone defunct. Same went for the lines that powered them.
today is the day.
AMAZING finds!!! I would have passed out from the excitement if I came across all this stuff as a kid who couldn't get enough of powerline hunting.
Was very exciting!! Will do more of these types of videos in the future;D

I'll be there when released! You have definitely grew in the past year with your collection, it's crazy what's out there!

Do what you want man, I don't think anyone will bother.
Another legit food review? But seriously tho nice another video from you is cool
The last 4 are part of big cut outs had bass and copper parts on top of them
Best way to acquire these! Cool share 😎

Nope, have not found any glass, yeah someday soon porcelain is the new Hemingray or something lol!!
Where did you find these?
I like Glass insulators in your Collection !
It'd would be nice if I found some glass, it's unfortunate that glass insulators in general are getting more rare, I've got to go out and find more.

Would you, or is it ok to collect insulators during the coronavirus pandemic, with a stay home order is your area?
Sure, it depends on your location and state. Make sure to keep a 6 foot distance and just try to avoid people. I'm sure you can, but you have to know what laws are implemented in your area, just stay safe and out of trouble :)
By the way the lightning arrestor looks like the one I have. Made by Ohio brass
Yeah, it looks very similar, this one was made by GE.
Great insulators! unfortunately here in Australia they always take them, but i know a spot that has very new poles deep in the bush, i might try there.
Go ahead! I would try it, you could also ask your power company if they have any insulators for you.
That's amazing that you found so many! How do you know where to find them?
When places go abandoned, sometimes their around;)
nice pices👍

U are so lucky
Where u live at
I live in Michigan.
Those are pretty nice ceramic pieces! I could probably get a crap load of the because I know a Lineman! But again those are really nice insulators!!!

Variac Maniac and also nice mustang T😂
LOL, yeah, I'm a Mustang fan.
Nice finds I only have four lol
Hey, I had four at one time, I just seem to sniff these out like a lunatic, lol!

Wow this is big awesome and you got 2 of same of my last insulator
vous avez aussi des pièces isolantes intéressantes, ravies de voir plus de collectionneurs.
Variac Maniac merci mais celui à 7:47 I'm have one
J'ai vu cette vidéo que tu as postée avec certains de tes isolateurs, ceux où c'est plutôt cool comme tu l'as mentionné, très cool!
Nice finds
