The anvil that nearly became a boat anchor in Duluth

Last month I'm setting up at a demo by the lake. 150 pound anvil strapped to a dolly. Dolly wheel hit a crack. Anvil tipped. It rolled. Straight for the dock. I froze. Then it splashed. Took 3 guys and a come-along to fish it out. Rusted something fierce. Spent all weekend with a wire wheel. Anyone else had a tool go swimming?

Wire wheel and a coat of boiled linseed oil saved mine after it took a dip in a flooded basement. Took a few passes but the rust came off clean. Bet that anvil's got some character now.
