A Different Kind Of Relic

[TreasureHunter5]

I was out metal detecting a area I have wanted to detect for a long time. I ended up finding this cool old rail car. I has a big pot looking bucket in the middle.  Any guesses for what it was used for? I is a bit of a different kind of relic to find. I was in a old railroad area and maybe it was moved here and forgotten may years ago, only remembered by the graffiti artists. The rest of the metal detecting finds are coming as soon as I clean and  sort them out.

Was it hard to hear or did you have a sound enhancer to help you. 😁

It's a slag ladle, used in steel/metal foundries to haul away the molten slag from steel/metal production, they haul it out of the foundry to dump the slag.

Haha, good one! Yeah, I had to put on my headphones and turn up the sound!
