buzzard Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 wel it ain't a nugget but I thought it was mighty interesting.I am guessing it is a "water canon" I ain't sure.was found out in the back country while riding my ATV. I visited lots of mines and workings and this was under a tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Chris Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Probably off a water truck. Any construction going on nearby?Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzard Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 nope, no construction at all, in fact we was up a jeep trail and I do not think many large trucks could have made it up this path...that is what made it a strange find.If anyone wants to buy this "thing" I am open to offers. Ain't sure what it is worth but ????? walksownpath2002@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whats4supper Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 its' not too old. looks like fire-fighting equipment. if not, a jerry rig deal using a trash pump. Probably someone's pipe dream that didn't work out as planned- hydraulicking needs vastly more water and nozzle pressure, and they wouldn't be getting it out of this contraption if that was the plan.Just think of all the work to get it to the site and it didn't work; leave the junk behind for someone else to trip over...

Admin nuggethunting Posted June 1, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hello Buzzard, I would have to agree with Reno Chris. I used to drive a water truck when I worked for a Construction company. The water cannon looks just like the ones on the side of the water trucks I used to drive. Someone might have removed one from an old truck and customized it for something else (like hydraulicing). Have you seen any placer activity in the area where you found the water cannon? Talk with you soon,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
