Hello,
I just got a new mine to add to my collection of mines (ones i have claimed) here around the Kingman area and i found this peice of metal out there. I know it had something to do with mining but i dont know what it couldve been used for. Anyone have any ideas?
In Pic 3 it shows a swivel on the underside of the object and pic 5 shows my helmet in reference to the size of the metal object.... and yes thats a Mohave Underground emblem on the side of my helmet along with my Justrite carbide helmet light.
Also, even though that metal object looks like it might bend in the center (near where the swivel is), sort of like a clamshell would, but it doesnt. The center is solid with large rivets in it. Looks to me like it mightve been a homemade job and two peices of scoop shaped metal with the ends riveted together and the swivel fitted onto the underside. Anyways, i dunno.
I will be posting good pics of my newly aquired mine (the one where this metal object is) in the next few days.
