🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Went to a potential new site today and found a curiosity.

What do you suppose this mound with a stamped number represents?

Other oddities and photos from the site:

I don't know about the numbered piece but love the old iron.

Looks like a couple wagon wheel hubs in pic 2.

Might be a survey marker.

Me, too. I am hoping to get back there next week, but temperatures are promising to be brutal.

It looks like various parts of old horse drawn farm equipment I bet if you do some searching you will find some really interesting parts that would make a nice flower garden or landscaping display If you get a chance post more pics

neat old stuff. Wondering about the stamped piece too. I was almost thinking something to do with a gravesite, like maybe pet cemetery.but obviously there would be a name not a number. That big piece in pic 2 is iron? Wonder what that is?

It looks to me like it was a repurposed wagon axle. The spindle has been reworked into a point. Strange piece for sure.

I will definitely take some more photos when I get back there. Should prove to be an interesting site. Might be a week or so since it is so bloody hot!

creskol, the numbered piece appears to be part of a base with another part at about the 11 o'clock position. Not sure what the number represents.

I am curious to see more pictures from this site I am guessing it was once a farmers parking spot for his equipment .There appears part numbers on some of the item to be axle and hub parts along with larger wheel and drive parts The numbers also appear to be cast into the items . those types of ID where common in the 1700 & 1800's You most likely have located items that are not common . But at the same time are not really valuable. But regardless of who much they may be worth they are an interesting piece of history

House number? Good luck out there. Exciting to have an old site.

Looks like a brick with the numbers stamped or formed in it to me. Seen a lot of old ones like that.

I will need to look again when I go back, but I don't think it was a brick.

Not thick enough for a brick
