Working on a project where I recovered this monument. Looks like some type of shaft with keyed slots near the threaded end and some type of metal cover that fits into the keys on the shaft. (the cover is pulled off center to set the rod tip on the end of the threads. Not sure what to call it.
We used to call those: a whatchamajigger, back in the day....
Today; I might tend to call it a 31/32" Iron shaft; with a 5/8" threaded rod attached to the end; protruding from the ground 0.35'; with some type of metal cover that fits into the keys on the shaft.
Don't know. Never seen anything like it.
But whatever it is, make sure you call Kent before you measure its size....I'm sure we would all do it wrong...;-)
A goat stake obviously
That's a half shaft of a 34 Deere tractor. Actually I have no idea what it is.
It looks like a piece of some sort of farm implement to me. Tractor, plow, harrow, trailer, disk, whatever, it's something.
My field crew would probably say, "Found monument" in their description. If I was lucky, they'd call it "Found iron monument". If I was really lucky, I'd have a picture of the site and that monument would be in the distance in the corner of the picture. And if a miracle happened, they'd take a picture of the monument directly.
JB,
Looks like the "front end" of a piece of drill steel.
You did dig VERY carefully along side the monument to ascertain the length and whether the pin was uniform in cross-section along the shaft, didn't you?
Also, is there a dimple or hollow center for your rod tip to fit in? 😀
So that's where I lost that darned thing. Please return it to me via e-mail once you are done with it.
Definitely a thingamabob. Everyone should have several of them laying around for emergencies, just in case.
Oh, so THAT'S what a thingamabob looks like. I've been trying to get some here, but they've been back ordered since 2013. I a few thingamajigs, but no thingamabobs. I do have a couple of whatsahoosits here as well, but they don't look like that picture.
Did somebody plant their line rod very deep? 🙂
That would most likely be a 'MacGyver' monument salvaged out of the local bone yard.
Haven't a clue, but it looks like a drill rod.
Here's a closer image with the flangy tallywhacker set back in place. You can see how the shaft has tapered sides with the round central shaft running vertically (like a thingamabob as everyone knows they're vertical, not horizontal like a thingamajig). The flangy tallywhacker is quite flexible as to easily fit snuggly against the tapered shaft. And, yes, it does have a dimple on the top center of the threaded rod. It's definitely planted by a surveyor as it checks withing 0.3' for the line. Not a property corner in site however.
Looks like a expanding concrete anchor rod.
31/32"? Iron Shaft with 5/8"? threaded end. To say it is an axle one would have to know that it supported a wheel.
But when it comes to all equipment there are axle shafts, drive shafts, spindle shafts, pulley shafts etc.

Yup. It's one of those...
Is it hollow?
They set it upside down, and it's the right-handed model, so no it's not hollow.

That's the longest synonym for "thingamabob" I have ever heard.
