Heaviest Find Since My Ex Wife!!!

[shanegalang]

It's not always Spanish silver!! This is the heaviest chunk of iron I have found to date.........my ex wife excluded!! I have no clue what it is but it weighs 145 pounds..........it is SOLID iron!! Judging from the area it was dug in, it could very well have been something used in a sugar mill. Possibly something used to press the sugar cane, not unlike the rollers do on an old washing machine.

Are you talking about ex wife #1 or ex wife #2?

Strictly speaking from a non-historic, purely scrap value, you are looking at nearly $20 in iron there.... depending on where you live. Nothing like finding a crisp $20 in the dirt (obviously scrap is last resort, but still...)

From what BB said, if you are taking it to a scrap yard in his car, YOU are going to have to sit on the hood as a counterweight-LOL. HH, Quindy.

I think that is the tip from a large, hydra unit mounted "concrete breaker" (picture a big jackhammer on the end of a backhoe) At least it looks like one. I dug one before. Thought it was an underground pipe at first.

This picture doesn't match EXACTLY, but yours is identical to the one I dug, and the guy I with ID'd it. He was a contractor and used them before.

Possibly, but only if the end is pointed or wedge shaped. Doesn't look like it though. JMHO

I was just thinking that, mine was wedge shaped, you can't really tell from the picture, his might be flat.

Not wedged. Here are more pictures that show better what it looks like. There is a small hole in the "top" that is square and seems to be about 4 or 5 inches deep.

He is right, i have 2 ex wives. The 2nd ex was a bit of a bigger woman I like to think of her as Dumbo the flying elephant
