Has anyone seen this Monolith?

Yes, I think you are right.

That thing is actually solid platinum.
It weighs 486 pounds 12 ounces.
So based on the above figures at todays market value of $939.29 an ounce, that thing is worth a cool $7,315,190.52.

Nice find!

486 pounds and 12 onces of solid platinum!!!??? For lack of a better reaction - that's not possible ... with platinum worth over $950 per ounce.

I suspect hardwood painted with silver paint as more likely what it's made of! ;)

P.S. Could a 1-ton dually 4X4 PU even carry 486 pounds and 12 onces - plus the crane - plus the backhoe - out there (unnoticed) so as to deal with setting that thing up vertically stable? I think not - but maybe another cup of coffee will help me think more clearly.
