South American Earthmoving Machine?
Ivan Sanderson, the same Zoologist who initially evaluated the “Pre-Columbian Jet” suggested after his study of this artifact that the pre-Columbians had zoomorphicized some earthmoving machine that they had somehow encountered.
We’re not at all ready to go there. However, this piece seems to be completely out of place and time. First, the wheel was virtually unknown in the pre-Columbian”World; the Maya Olmecs and Inca’s are reported by mainstream archaeology not to have utilized or known of it.
This artifact utilizes the wheel and gears to the befuddlement of archaeology. According to the Tom MacGuinness’s Website;
“This cryptoarchaeological artifact, which is exquisite in design and construction, represents one of the very few examples of wheels used in Pre-columbian Mesoamerica.
It is unclear what the wheel's purpose is in this design - it is similar to a tool used in leather working, but clearly this piece it too well crafted for such a purpose…

Backstory: From 1920 to 1952 the Peabody Museum of the University of Harvard made a series of excavations near the town of Penonomé, to the Southwest of Panama.
In 1940 doctor J. Alden Mason found a singular piece pertaining to the Coclé culture, like the others. One was a medallón of gold of about 11 centimeters in length, with a green stone.
Coclé is the name of the Panamanian province. At the moment the piece is in an exhibition at The University Museum of Archeology and Anthropology of the University of Pennsylvania.
It was there that Ivan it T. Sanderson, the famous UFOlogist and American cryptozoologist came across the piece.
To Sanderson it looked like backhoe or a mechanical dredge. Sanderson thought that the claws of the animal looked like wheels; the teeth of their snout would be the "teeth" of the mechanical dredge; in the later part it would have two gears that would serve to elevate the "bucket".
The back of the animal, according to Sanderson, is the cover of the motor. Both sides lights, and other two in the eyes of the animal can be seen.
