hi everyone .went to old hotel site after work. got a big strike of the minelab and after spending an hour digging up a 60kg blacksmith anvil . i realized that i couldnot get the car close enough to get it in the trunk. so for the next hour i dragged up a hill to the road.2 hours of hard work may i should have left there.the weather is still hot even though it is autum.need a drink or 2 or more.

Tinpan,

That's a great find, wonder why it was buried? Oh, yea they're very heavy, how's your back?

We have several, (we have a blacksmith shop on the property...1800's), one anvil is used in the workshop, the biggest one is on display.

HH ;)

That is pretty cool.... Can imagine you looking at it and saying "Crap, how am I going to get that home???".

After seeing this, note to myself, add good rope to my digging supplies so I can drag big things back to the car.... :D
