Hi,

The City of vail Colorado has very fancy manhole covers and they sell them 
to the public in an effort to keep people from steeling the ones on the street.

They are cast iron and wiegh 52 pounds but they now have a small one which 
might be perfect.  The little ones go for $65 ($300 for the big ones) but 
maybe it would be worth a lot more crushed :o))

Cheers,

         Terry
