Reviews
"If it is somewhere along the west end of Forest Park, it's not marked at all. All there is on the spot is a Seventh Day Adventist church or trees and paved paths, depending on the side of the street you look."
"I like how everyone has a different story about where this thing is buried."
"Interesting site, but we looked and looked. Didn't see it."
"That would be heavy to lift and move, bigger than a turbine blade"
"Someone needs to dig this up and put it in a museum in St. Louis or Chicago."
