Guesses On What This Is?

Found it protruding from a bank way back in the middle of nowhere ???

Is about as big as a large garbage can. The wood in the center looks really old.

Is this a mill paddle wheel center or maybe an old wagon axle and hub?

Cool, can you tell if the threads on the rods were machine cut?

could not tell.

Something to do with a mill was my first thought as I assume you found it by water. Whatever it is, it is cool and would make a great lawn ornament once cleaned up a little.

mill wheel, too large for a wagon wheel.

It is BK’s snake trap. Looks old and rotten cause once he put it out… he won’t go near it again…

I thought Len was talking about the Creeping Charlie.

That kind of moss wouldn’t be growing on it, if it was in the water.

Think it could be a small paddle wheel?

I think that’s part of a Pflueger Mark I, the first baitcaster ever made. You had to be a really dedicated fisherman to use it.

first wind turbine?????

rear axle off Fred Flintstone’s car

mill wheel pulley for belt driven implement like a saw mill or something?

Bet its not stamped “Made In China”.

I say it the hub section of a water wheel for a mill too.

Its a sewer plug

x2, old belt drive pulley. Cool. Beings its near water, any chance its from an 1800’s water powered grist mill.
