I found this a few weeks ago and forgot about it in my random metal pile. I thought it was a zinc wheel off a toy canon or something, but it's made of lead and extremely soft so it being off a toy doesn't make a lot of sense. I found it in a hill-side dump that I briefly explored. There was a ton of glass and pottery shards which suggest it was an 1860-1890's dump and I found several huge 2-foot sections of lead pipe as well. One thought was a flywheel, but most of the weight is towards the center and a flywheel would need the weight distributed around the edges so maybe not. Any thoughts?
