This is a first for me

Looks like a oil drilling bit.

 

Creative! ...that sign looks petrified.

 

Correct, specificlly that is rock bit.
These are typically saved for the hard rocks
Can be used for oil, gas or water.

Similar configuration as a tricone, but I have not a multi cone like that before

 

I used to see a lot of these growing up. My maternal grandparents used to haul oil drilling equipment all over the coastal bend (they base of operations (which also was based out of their home) in Kingsville). Late 80s though, no longer did that due to the oil bust in that decade.

 

Hotshot drivers? They make good $ when the gettins good

 

25c? Linear foot? By the pound?

 

But then they wouldn't have a unique sign post, it worked to get you to stop and take a picture!

 

I used to like Weather.com but it's not even weather anymore. It's unrelated click bait and rising oceans propaganda and weird names for snow storms

 

Looks like most of these are along Rt 66. My hubby and I were talking about sometime taking a vacation and driving Rt 66. Fly out east, rent a car and drive. If we end up doing this, I'll have to keep a look out for these really cool signs

 

I don't know, looks pretty interesting to me!!

 

Love when boring old signs have an actual art aspect to them. This is cool as heck thanks for sharing.
