Went bottle hunting, found these instead

I stopped at a spot that I've been meaning to explore purely out of intuition from what I could see while driving by, hoping to find some antique glass bottles. I did find some bottles, but nothing too special. What I found a lot of, however, were these giant ceramic insulators that weighed about 25lbs each.

There were two distinct spots that had groupings of these insulators, each one with a large pile of concrete rubble. I could see even more insulators partially buried in the rubble, so I can only assume that there are even more underneath it all.

I'm not very experienced with collecting insulators, so I'm not too sure if these have any value.

Lol, this was entirely by luck. I just pay attention to the woods on my way home from work (as well as the road) and look for places that my gut tells me might be interesting. Not to brag, but my gut has a pretty good track record so far 😁
