Hi guys i been too lazy to post so here is my long weekend find. i found this old girl in the woods abandoned so i thought i would post some pics of her. I did not get to Treasure hunt much that weekend was time to spend with the wife and r&r happy viewing....

Wow, can I borrow it? The ground's beginning to get really hard here in Southern Colorado. We had a pretty good rain last night; hopefully it helped. I'm leaving to find out ---

How did it read on your detector? How deep was it? You didn't scratch it did you? Sorry, just habit.

I'm surprised that your wife wouldn't let you keep it. It would have made a great lawn ornament for your front yard.

Good luck soaking that in olive oil... :P

Don't clean it! It will lose it's value.
I think BDoo could use that baby on the tot lots he digs.
Be careful, it may really be a Transformer!

Someone is still saying "Where did I park that thing"?

Keep safe...

 

[Charlene]

cylinders are clean, she hasn't been there too long. Did you have any trouble pin pointing it? lol

With the price of scrap as of late....That is the most valuable find i have seen on here in the 3 months or so ive been on this site. Lord i would love to be able to drag that to the port. The scrappers would LOVE me!!!

I near lost it when I read this one...I'll just say it was one heck of a big find. I think I found one when I first statred detecting but got tired of digging....Never did actually see it though!

You are a hoot halfdime!!!

 

[Little finder]

WOW!!!!! great job!!!! but 1 thing was it hard to find
yours truly, little finder

 

[CarolinaDigs]

The wife and I think alike The clad you'd find digging up the yard wouldn't pay for the landscaping afterwards

 

[COUNTRY GIRL]

I hope you weren't wearing your head phones ? That's a neat old excavator, looks like you could have fired her up and had the wife search the holes ?

Hate to be serious about this since everybody is having so much fun.

Are you "joking" about finding it? Does it appear operable? Do you know who owns it? That's a big machine worth a chunk if it's operable. Is it possibly stolen?


Or....did I just get reeled in on "sucker" bait

 

[txkickergirl]

dang I wondered where I left that thing

 

[cheese]

Did you have to use a sifter to find it, or were you able to find it in the hole with a pinpointer? Was it on edge?

I agree...the cylinder rods are sure clean (although the hard-chrome plating on them is pretty tough anyway). I wonder if it's just parked there for the moment.
