This guy has a fresh coat of paint and is looking great! It's on private property, but owner said pulling into the driveway for photos is totally fine and they're much friendlier to visitors than the ranch up the street. She had no real explanation for him other than he was a gift!

I was on my way to Bub Hyder's farm when I spotted a Muffler Man-sized prospector statue up against a barn-like structure. It seemed to be the only object on the property, I didn't see any owner around so I couldn't get the backstory. This statue looks like a grizzled old prospector who has just found gold.

This statue is located next to a farm building off Old Clear Creek Road in Edneyville, NC.
[Todd K, 06/03/2005]We call him a Pioneer Giant -- a few have been reported in Hillsborough, Roanoke Rapids and Lexington, NC. Not of Muffler Man lineage.
