Go Up Go Down

I'm mainly wondering about the age. Trying to figure out from what years I might be able to pick up stuff from the place I'm digging. So far the earliest coin has been in the early 60's, just hoping this is earlier.

It is die cast lead.

What size is it?

Lead toys were made up until the 60s or so.

2 1/8 inches I've seen wheels like this on cannons, carts, and wagons.

Looks like a cannon wheel to me. But as Homie said lead toys were made in basically the same way into the late 20th century so you will need some other artifacts to date the site.
