    Need your opinion...

    Just wondering what you think this might be... it weighs 1.2 lbs, the hole is not threaded and runs straight through.

    It looks like a rock bit for a jackleg drill used in hardrock mining. Jimbob

    Jimbob is right , Drill steel the hole blows air to keep hole clear of dust and cool bit tips.

    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.
