Drove 4 hours for a scrap yard anvil, ended up using my Harbor Freight one anyway

Bought a "better" anvil off a guy two towns over, drove an hour each way, and it turned out to have a dead spot right in the middle of the face. Spent two weekends trying to dress it with an angle grinder and made it worse. Finally just went back to my little beat up 70 pounder that rings like a bell and does everything I need. The big ones are nice for looks but if the face is shot you are just swinging a hammer at a rock. Next time I'm bringing a ball bearing and a file and testing before I hand over cash.
