I don't think so. If there was writing on it my piece of whatever this is lacks it

I'm thinking it's zinc die cast. The pattern on the back, and the casting sure looks like it.

Not sure zinc tends to degrade to nothing in this dirt but I suppose still possible

True untreated zinc, as cutlery, buttons, toys, will.
I think what you have has been plated with a coating of copper & ?.
Better than a penny.
I've dug chrome plated zinc that is pretty old, 1950s it became popular.

Indeed could be then. It's quite heavy but maybe better quality zinc is no idea

Goodwill find. Google lens and eBay research... no luck so I brought it home. Old or made to look old. Research will continue.

XD the farmers around here are mostly grumpy old men
And I used to use archimaps.co.uk but for a while now I can't load the lidar maps, they just load up but don't display the lidar overlay for me
No on his permissions you don't get a choice, I'll take a picture next time.
You know when grass grows too tall it makes those thick bumps at the roots?
It's like that with patches of grass and clear dirt between so you literally can't get lower than 10cm on most of it. I usually swing basically scratching the surface almost
Finally you found something, such a shame you're always stuck digging foil, gold rings and pulltabs
How are the corners joined? If they're just butted up against each other its probably lazy makers or a fairly modern piece.
The timber makes me think it's fairly old but no proper joints in something with design like that makes me doubt myself
