    It's large and heavy and I can't find one like it anywhere. I would love to know what this shovel was for. ICE sheet clearing is the only thing I can figure for it.

      I found two examples of round shovels online. They were used in Victorian England in coal mines for coal and stone. Maybe ?

      That would make sense.
