Well sorry that bird appears to be a hughes 520 ( could be wrong ) but the is no way in hell it could lift that steel auger you show in the pict.

That was my immediate feeling, thought, too.
And even augers a lot smaller would not have been something a copter pilot would have been gleefully willing to have flown with in the manner described.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to imply that that was the auger in question, only that they make them that large. We have construction firms around here running 4-6 diameter augers for concrete pier footings. Again, I am not an expert but maybe these have a second use as a radiation detection tool or whatever they were claiming....:-)(not likely huh?)

Check out an MD-500E. That looks like the bird to me.
