Has anyone ever heard of the silver spade shovel in ohio? They are retiring but what they going to with it?

Question

I really hope they'll try to preserve it and keep at least part of it in a musesum...if anyone knows the plans let me know :)

Answer 1

I found an article about it, click the link below to read it all.

The company that owns it has yet to decide the shovel's fate. He says, "We certainly are aware of the interest of the community."

The shovel is currently busy with a mining project, but when that is over in the winter, they will be retiring it. I would check for news artciles about it again starting in October or you could contact Consolidated Coal.

It was 40 years old, quite impressive!
