What kinda mine tool is this ? What was it used for?

[gold tramp]

To pull the fuse wires taught in the hole, after inserting the charge. TTC

Nope.
I can forgive TC for not following clues, hes a coin and nugg hunter.
But you fellas that hunt all types of treasure, your not following the trail of clues.

I better find where you guys are doing all your hunting, you all might be missing a lot of treasures.

Dont give up so easy i will give up one more clue tonight,

Good Luck N Happy Hunting Cpt Herb Terry if your ever going to barstow on the 40 take ludlow exit and shoot over to 29 check out our operation.

Snake checker?

Snake checker?

That's what I would have said only I would have made a longer one

 

[Oakview2]

I am with you Herb, for Mr. No Shoulders, it would have to be MUCH MUCH LONGER:-)

 

[Phanntom]

Maybe a gauge for classifying material for a stamp mill or crusher would be my best guess.

To insert bc's into d. What's my prize?

 

[oldbrundogg]

Ahh blasting charge inserter . Sounds like something real, let's see we're going to use high explosives and we need to insert the detonator into it what should we use here's a piece of wire. I like it !!

 

[oldbrundogg]

Beats my next guess , used to clear an air or water line. Air needed in a mine, water needed in the desert.

 

[TerryC]

The fuse goes in before stuffing the charge. I sure wouldn't use such a flimsy contraption when around explosives! How about using it to retrieve a poke or something from a hiding hole, such as clues to follow to treasure site? TTC

it is just a bent chunk of wire

I am no hard rocker, but I would say ramrod for setting charges in the hole

 

[nsdq]

honestly i have no clue

You got that one,
its a hand carved push rod, never ram a dynamite charge as you are pushing against live charge. Fuse, cap and charge. its not rocket science just cracking rock.
Then cap with a little mud, Light fuse get out or behind blast shield.
Then if you are lucky you got a mucker to clean it up !!!
