What am i?

Recommended Posts

Some mines that use Narrow Gauge rail used to have a piece of equipment that was sometimes called a mucker. Kind of like a little Bobcat with no driver's seat. It could go to the end of the rail, scoop up debris from the last blast and lift it up and over itself into an ore cart that was behind it. I've seen a few with buckets that kind of resemble that one.

At the bottom of a landslide?

No it's in a Creek a couple miles downstream from the gold mine that lost it.
