✅ SOLVED What is this I found in my yard?

[Denny1st]

I live in Shawnee, KS. I found this in my yard. Doesn't appear to have very symmetrical holes but I'm thinking a drain. But it's pretty thick too. Can't really see where or if it even screwed in. Probably a piece of junk but I'm very new and so far this and a 1978 dime are my best finds. Lol. I am wondering how old it is though. Thanks

My first thought was drain, but being from KS it could be a home made piece for farm equiptment, engine, etc.

homemade meat grinder plate?

 

[Denny1st]

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure about the farm equipment or engine though. I'm in a suburb pretty close to Kansas City and it's a pretty big town. It's in the most populated county in the state. The area I live in used to be all woodlands, but was cleared out for housing. Fairly close to the Kaw, or Kansas river. That's about a mile away.

Ah yeah. Does look like a meat grinder piece. I think that's more possible. I'll leave it unsolved for now in case anyone has any other answers. Thank you both.

What are its dimensions?

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

It appears larger than the meat grinder plates that I have used but that was just a wild guess. It could also be something for seeds or fertilizer.
