I know what it is, do you?

Good one!
oooooooo.... I know what it is but I'm gonna sit back and see if anyone else figures it out. Denise posted one a few years back, that's how I know. It is indeed a mining tool though, and a nice one at that. Very cool.

Nice swizz! Share some of that pop corn while we wait and see if anyone else knows what this mining tool was used for. It was probably one of the most important tools :)

For sure.
Heck, I'd probably still use one today if I needed to.
