fatchap Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Found this item a while ago, lost it and have now obviously found it again, I have absolutely no clue what it is. It was laying in the road. The tip seems to made of a hardened metal, looks a bit like tungsten, Thought it my be the tip of a weapon maybe but nah don't think so, Anyone got any ideas.

figgy Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I'm with Ditchman, they are lots of them fitted to a big spinning drum used to chew up roads. Solid tungsten carbide so might be useful to you. Edited May 30, 2019 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good bit of kit, expensive to hire, but with the price of those picks you can understand why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
