Few weeks ago we managed to get back to the Paparoa tussock country ,although the weather was wet and stormy we managed to find this dolly (stand to be corrected) at about 1200 meters not far from exploratory tunnels.Does anyone have any ideas ?

Looks like a steering ball joint from a machine… tapered shank, thread at bottom with split pin holes…
Looks like something that I once found under our bed…but where do the batteries go?

Okay thanks for the humor. I have sent the photo to a few gold mining gurus and they have concluded it is a hand pestle…which appears to have had a wooden handle…
