Looks like the end to a harpon or something.  Must have been in the sand they dug up for the mix.  Thought they filtered that though.  I have seen some weird crap come though, but nothing that odd.

RM Plant loaded this into my boom before when i was pumping flyash. Job went fine, pumped the whole 20 yards, but when i went to pull the ball back, the ball got hung up and wouldnt come back. Had to pull all the elbows off and found this in one of them jammed sideways

I have had a dead bird stop on top of my grate, thank god. Also had a can of coke pass through my whole system and get plugged in my 2.5" reducer perfectly. No idea how it got through the grates.

No pics, but an old and true story...

Our technologist was taking samples and left some of his personal gear on top of the mixing

machine at the plant, wich fell down in to the machine...

So when the driver came out on the site and the guys was gone check the concrete first his hard hat came, with name on it and everything, then his goggles, next the gloves and more.

Then the customers were wondering where the rest of the guy is. :D

one day we were fixing a water pipeline for the aggregate water sprinkles and we forgot the sprinkles on the aggregates then the loader loaded it to the batching plant then to the truck then the pump operator found it on the screen at the top of hopper

some times maintenance people forgot tools near the plant but i remember one time we found a big outer ring for a bearing belong to the aggregate crusher it stuck at the reducer pipe of 63 pump and other piece in stucks in the s elbow inside the boom of 42 putz pump .it is a bad memories
