Hi everyone.

The river was way down the other day and I was wading around looking for fishing lures and found these two tools. I know they are pig castrators but did they also have a use on the RR? I found them in an area that used to have a track running along it.

They dont look like any RR tools I used.
Also pretty flimsy looking for RR tools.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Nice lures! The tools almost look like they may have been used together.


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Were you magnet fishing? I just started doing that. Found plenty of wrenches and pliers around boat slips but nothing cool yet.

Really nice lures , great shape. A good $50-100+ value on the lures. I'm jelly.....lol

The flat tool on the right with a slot looks a lot like a roofing shingle remover tool , maybe hand-made ? Just a guess.

Being that they were in the river, maybe Slingblade got back out of the Nervous Hospital (they said he was well again), and ditched them tools there.
