Interesting items joe. I'd be interested in hearing what it may have been for since it seems to have an intentional shape. Is that a hole bored in each piece? If someone is able to id it hopefully they may even be able to tell what it may have been used for.

Good luck with it and hopefully someone here can help you identify it.

Joe, I'm no expert on this stuff, but they appear to me to be of iron origin.

If it is iron that has had manganese added to it to make it harder with use, that would make it even more recent in origin as I understand this stuff.

Shape and hole placement suggests to me to be counterweight with their precision hole in each piece, and like String said, "intentional shape."

They might have been used for ballast as well and holed simply to make them easier to carry to the floating vessel.

Did you think to re-scan the hole from whence you dug up these two items? They could simply be deliberate misdirection type of iron items.

I'll stay tuned for others' ideas.

Very nice photographic images. Thanks for sharing.

Image 2171, the middle pic looks to me a bit like the base plate of a cobbler's last. It should have a square hole.
The other pics don't look related to a last. My dad had one of them about 55 years ago when I was a kid.
This is only a suggestion, I'm not sure.

hi Joe nice finds you've got there just an idea but the semi wedge piece you've got there looks to me like a weight that would be bolted to a tractor wheel, but with the size you gave i thank it would have to be a garden tractor or riding mower.

The center piece might be a wear plate from a grinding/crushing assembly. Looks like it attaches with a plow bolt. I've seen similar items in the years I've worked in the mining industry. It would have probably been stationary & matched with equal size segments to form a circled flat base with rollers rolling over them to crush grain or minerals?
