    if it is rainibg in the morning I will get some more shots. KoO you might want to bring a cat and come across the ice field, it would be a lot closer and no truck cops. you could drop down in my back yard. Picture taken yesterday

    Look at the size of those teeth on the bucket they are not even worn. Its amazing what kinds of things you can find buried in dirt or over grown by bush. Lots of that kind of stuff in the woods around B.C. left over from the early years. Most of it you have to barge it out and have a machine to walk couple miles into the bush to get it.

    Nice find ! SOmebody in the cyber world would want that. Must fit some crane "Bucyus Erie"? maybe. Can you talk the landowner into letting you have it? Good luck. Some one here might know what it fits. www.hcea.net doug
