I like challenges that don't take forever to figure out. Some may know what this is but where was it?
Oops, missed that last little part. I expect it was from the a rocket  Maybe an Apollo Mission. |

Many times, you might find an embossed serial number or copyright number. It looks to me like either a pump or a press, such as an oil press for olives, but the latter is less likely given it's shape. Was it already painted red when you found it? That may make it something fire related. |

no markings or stamps. It weighs over 300lbs. It compresses with a piston from the bottom to the top where there is a small opening on the side that something else bolts up to. I think it's for making sausage but I've never been able to confirm it. |

obviously some sort of rocket, but not sure what it is for.
Based on the round shape of the chamber, I would think it is a manuvering rocket of some kind. Yes but from what? |

This is outside the original context of this thread. I'm not asking you to guess what this is with the idea that I'll tell you later. I'm hoping someone can tell me what it is!  Hopefully, someone who's been around here for awhile knows. Maybe Wildman or Wrightwood? It's a couple of 100 yards up Horse Canyon on the left as you're walking up the canyon road.  |

The Serrano Indians used to have human sacrifices here, they would kill the victims, then they would fall down to a pit where they still remain buried.
