Good site??? Any ideas on the ring???

[EPC Guy]

I agree with exnavyguy on the ring...do you know what type of metal the ring is made of? I'm continuing to research...but coming up empty thus far...

It is def. not silver or gold. The main thing is that it is adjustable so probably a kids ring of some sort. Thanks everyone for looking for me!

Great finds. Looks like you found a great spot to hunt. Looking forward to seeing what else you bring out.

forgive me for not explaining,

cd stands for consolidated design number and 106 is the cd# for a hemingray 9, a hemingray 9 is a small insulator used on mainly rural telephone and sometimes telegraph lines. I have seen one before used on an extreemly low voltage power line,and one on the side of a house near where i live. The cd-106 was produced by many companies, hemingray, lynchburg, mclaughlin, WGM co, and "star" and had a production run from around 1890 to the 1940's. Your fragment is probably a hemingray based on the color. I have a hard time finding this style of insulator as where i live there is no rural telephone lines, just long range telephone and telegraph. The T&C railroad used them along with the 106's larger counterpart, the cd-121 (named the "toll" style) but theres none left from when the line was scraped in the 1950's. Theres more brands than i named and many colors ranging from aqua, shades of blue, greens including dark olive and 7-up green, off clear, and some purple. Heres a link to the style, CD 106
