Austria-Hungary Cast Iron Monument in a Transylvanian mining village

[Kev in Deva]

Hallo Gents,

while on a search in the forests near the village of Sacaramb,

for 3 German Military Graves, I headed into the village for refreshments

near the village shop under the trees in a small "park" I saw this monument

in cast Iron.

The village was a major source of Iron and Gold in the 1850's for the K.u.K. empire.

You don't suppose he's buried under that? :speechless1:

I suppose a night time visit with pick and shovel in the Stealth mode could be arranged

Any idea from the wording what "Bergrath Ritter des Franz Josef Ordens" refers too.

A K.u.K Mining Medal?
