✅ SOLVED Piece of old farm equipment, machine, or something else?

[Marielle.KK]

This was found buried in a field in Washington County Pennsylvania about 3 inches or so down. Very rusted. Looks like iron maybe. What do you guys think it is? Thank you in advance!

notched disc blade, broken when encountered a rock. From a farm disc, to some a harrow.

Encountering the rock must have been a harrowing experience

It certainly gave cause for the piece to be discontinued.

(groan)Netherland, I've heard that one before, Mud Hut, you may be breaking new ground.

Marielle, everyday here, there are posts from one getting the excitement of pulling an unidentified piece from the ground and then then later the letdown from finding out it's scrap.
Well, I'll let you in on something, it has happened to all of us, quite a bit, those who will admit it anyway.
Welcome to the forum, sometimes that dirt encrusted thing pulled out of the ground will turn out to be a gem. Keep the broken disc, add it to a flower garden, you will always remember the day that you found it.
