Go Up Go Down

Happy  Anniversary  to Cache and his Bride of 25 years today .

May you both enjoy another  25.
[/quote]   Thanks Karl. My  Kiss has never been to see Big Burtus. Only the largest shovel in the World, (at one time)  and in our backyard almost. (20 miles) So...  Thats where I toke her. Than of course shopping. Here's a few pics. In the one pic. you can see a average size bull dozer next to the shovel to compare. They have camping facility's there now. I asked about detecting. The host said no. In 1981 I was there when all you had to do was drive up to the shovel, get out of the car and climb all over it free. Could of detected around it than but never did. Now its 8 bucks per person to get in. We had a great day!!                                       BIG  BURTUS... Located at West Mineral, Kansas

Big Brutus put the oooohs and aaahs in the backyard of the Heartlands!!! Miles before you reach this retired giant — you can see it on the horizon south of West Mineral, Kansas. Standing beside it makes one aware of how fragile he or she is.

The statistics give the hard cold picture —
•Bucyrus Erie model 1850B
• largest electric shovel in the world
•16 stories tall (160 feet)
•weight 11 million pounds
•boom 150 feet long
•dipper capacity 90 cu. yds (by heaping, 150 tons
— enough to fill three railroad cars.)
•maximum speed .22 MPH
•cost $6.5 million (in 1962)

There is more to Big Brutus than cold steel and long shadows falling across the Mined Land Wildlife Area. Big Brutus is not just a symbol of the past, but an eternal tribute to the mining heritage of Southeast Kansas and to miners all across this nation who toiled to support their families.

On July 13, 1985, Big Brutus was dedicated as "a Museum and Memorial Dedicated to the Rich Coal Mining History in Southeast Kansas."

In September 1987 The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) designated Big Brutus a Regional Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark, the 10th since 1971 to be so designated.

Thank's guy's.  We did have a GREAT DAY!  I asked the gal if detecting was allowed. She said no! What she does'nt know is I detected it in 1982 or 3 before it became a Museum in 1985. Back when you could drive right up to the shovel itself without anyone in control of the place. Somewhere,  I have  some 35 millimeter pictures of my truck  parked in the bucket of this monster, if I find um, I'll post um!  lol...

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

Sorry to say, Carl, They took all the guts out of it years ago. That dog won't hunt.
