Got a new pup, cost more than any insulator in my collection, he's way more fun than any insulator in my collection too though. In the background is "the Beehive" named after the CD 145 (-not true). It's a good climb if you're comfortable on ladders. I told the pup to drop the 'artifact' before we left, as I don't want the feds on me, but down the beach was a couple who were intently salvaging lobster pot buoys that had washed up on the beach (which is off limits to metal detectors, dogs are allowed off season). Much like insulators, I'd consider them refuse, like the rope pup was chewing, and taking them would be basically picking up trash that was littering the landscape. I'm not so sure park rangers would necessarily have the same viewpoint. Most of the Island burnt in 1947 taking dozens of seaside mansions whose foundations are all over the park. Theoretically, there could be insulators in the thin soil around them, (very improbable, but technically possible). We've all heard/ read the horror stories of when the feds decide to come down on trash picker/ insulator hunters on federal land, but: (theoretically) What if someone kicked up a CD 109, then their dog crapped on it? You're supposed to pick up after your dog...so ... would bagging it really be a crime? (Yes, the answer is yes, but sometimes there isn't really a good answer) and no, there's no CD 109 in my collection. Some folks think dogs are stupid, I know a 'genius' of that persuasion. I personally think that dogs unbounded enthusiasm and penchant for enjoying every moment of every beautiful day is nothing short of genius. Is the genius a fool and the fool a genius? Perhaps, but don't take a fool's word for it.
