The Wagon Wheel and basket remnants are amazing. Are those in the Sierra or nearby Great Basin range? Inquiring minds.....???

Well I don't like to divulge because it will be either taken or destroyed. I do a ton of cross country and see a lot of cool stuff. I recently became a site steward for amazing petroglyphs sites.

We need to protect these cultural gems!

Absolutely, don't state where, I was just curious if they were in the Sierra or not. The dense pinion made me wonder.

Like this one, not all that far from the Sierra, but pretty remote

Mostly near the sierras. There is a bunch of pinion in the sierras at the right elevation. Especially in the southern portions. On my other computer I have more cool pics, I'll try to look up a few and post them.

The rebar bender if thats what it was would use the three pins in the triangle shape for bending.How big was it? The other end maybe just to hang it up

It was about 20" long of a fairly light stock, maybe 1/4 inch. I don't think I have a photo of the back, but I did turn it over, I'm pretty sure those were rivets rather than pins.

It is some sort of mechanical arm with those rivets and a hook....part of some mining equipment I am sure. There was some parts of a sort of pully system we found in an east side canyon. Cables and whatnot...No pictures though. I bet an arm like what you found would come in handy with that pully system!
