A roughly 15-foot-tall oversized shovel sculpture in front of Bowles Construction Company at 7001 US Highway 281 in Wichita Falls, Texas, billed locally as the 'Largest Shovel in Texas'. This is a distinct, separate object from the already-catalogued 'World's Largest Shovel' (Guinness-certified, 41 ft, at Garden-Ville/Texas Disposal Systems in Creedmoor, TX) -- the Wichita Falls shovel makes a narrower state-level claim and is not Guinness-certified.
