Gotta take up a new hobby...heavy RR item

[lumbercamp]

You guys/gals that tie a pouch around your waist to drop coins in don't know how easy you have it. I have hauled more heavy iron from the woods. This RR bar weighs 28 lb. is 61" long. I had to carry it 3/4 mile in the rain. At least it was mostly down hill I have found my share of pry bars and a couple spike pullers, but don't know what this is. I'm sure someone will.

Take it back!!!. This area was logged in 1893 and I can say for sure that the guy that left it there certainly doesn't need it back any time soon.
When it's raining, I double bag my controls with small plastic grocery bags and tie the handles under neath. Myself and my detector have come back a muddy mess several times.

Try the ziplock. It works great and you can see through it.

Nice walking stick you got there Lumbercamp. I spent a little time with the Union Pacific and watched as a road crew was wrecking out an abandoned line. They called the spike remover a "Gandy Bar" and they would insert it over the rail and under the head of a spike. Then one of the crew would grab another's wrists and support him as he got up on the bar would spring up and down till' the spike shot up in the air. They called these old timers "Gandy Dancers" Old railroading must have been a real life for a lotta fellows. Google up Potlatch Logging camps in Idaho some time, you'll drool over the possibilities.
