After blasting, is it a tool used by the blast miner to come in a break loose/knock down any loose impediments and hanging rocks from above and sides prior to clearing the area safe for the crew to come in and remove all of the ore debris from the floor for processing and delivery to the surface. So the loose stuff doesn't fall on their heads while they are remove the blast debris.

It was mentioned that it was used in the mining industry. Did it have any use at coke ovens? I ask because I found a long hook at an old coke oven site, but it was round, not flat like yours. Besides, they made coke from coal.

to pack the hole with explosives...TAMPER.......ew that's scary!

 

[EDDE]

put a small "cork screw" on the end for pulling duds out of the hole

 

[Real de Tayopa Tropical Tramp]

Sheeesh I can see that none of you ever drilled a hole in concrete or rock by hand, nor used explsives heheheh.

Last major hint before revealing something that even most miners would never guess.

A simple hand made tool that is very necessary for the small miner.
