I see a ground cable splice

The circle thing may be part of a sewing machine treadle.

I feel purdy sure the bolted harness I an electrical connector. The square nut is probably electrical also. I was a vendor for TVA For years are they used a lot of galvanized hardware .

Gosh, as much as I would love it to be that, my gut says no. But ?

What the heck is that? I’m going to have to look it up.
Thank you for the information.

My bad for not explaining where all of these were found.

If any of you have watched my video, these were on the other side of the driveway. There are power lines that run along that side. And the electric company periodically sends out tree trimmers. This is where I think the penny came from.
There are also cement/concrete posts , which would be where fence used to be.
I was thinking/guessing that big round thing was from a tractor. Maybe it broke down?

Now, there’s the ID of electrical parts.

So, could it have been something to do with that?
Or, purely guessing again, maybe there was an electronic gate opener and it was a part to that?

Is this what you are talking about?

I’m not sure that fits into the location. There’s no evidence of a building at the spot. Unless, of course, they dumped it there.

Sorry WD, electrical parts aren't something I know much about.

Besides... if I want to know something, I just ask my wife because she knows everything!

Square washers are still used today (of course).

The "ground" connector looks more like a mechanical splice to me.
(to join two equal size flat bars together, by overlapping and clamping)

Thanks everyone. Still not 100% sure of the big round thing, but I am calling it .
