walshie Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) I found this under a load of bramble in a field. It's a hoop of approx 3/8" steel with a lump of angle iron welded to the top. I tried pulling it out but it's in solid. About 2" below the surface each leg has a round hinge and pin that allows it to move backwards or forward but not side to side and under the hinge appears to be more steel rod going straight down. I don't know how far as I didn't have any digging tools with me. Any ideas? Edited to add: It's about knee height and about 3ft wide.

johnphilip Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Could it be part of a seat frame , total wild guess. 3 feet is quite wide for a seat mind . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the edge of a field about 10 ft from a stream. It looks like it's been there a long time has been put there on purpose. It hasn't just been dumped. I reckon aliens Edited October 23, 2023 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense apart from the fact it hinges flat forward or backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
