Here is the fourth post in the series. As usual, I will try to answer quest ions about their composition, size and how they can move. Pictures are prov ide via dropbox. There is one composite image per tool.

POST04_TOOL15 A heavy steel tool 67 inches long. The bottom end has a square cross sectio n ending in a dull four-sided point. The tool is slightly bowed but it is n ot clear if this by design or from use.
