Background:
I have been mowing this area for over 30 years. Just this year, a area roughly 2ft. x 3ft. started to loose the grass growing there. As you can see in the picture, this 2 x 3 ft. area has dead grass. Mom and Dad started poking around the rectangular area and started to uncover some sort of steel. Yesterday I went to the spot with her and dug up a little further. I discovered this steel piece attached to a 2 x 3 foot hunk of poured cement. It was just a inch or two under the surface. The location had a farm house and barn dating back to 1870's. (now long gone) In the 1920's-1970's, there have been trap shooting events, large group picnics as well as various other outdoor type recreational events.
It would suspect that the 2 longer upright sides have been broken off but I may be wrong.
I would like to know if anyone can tell me what this might have been a base for... :smiley_confused_vra
