I came across this object while digging a hole for a new tree. I was about 20-inches below ground when the shovel made contact. Does it look familiar to anyone? It is so encrusted with rust and dirt that any lettering that may be on it is obscured. I thought it had concrete spilled on it but it turned out to be caked-on dirt that has calcified on the surfaces and between the chain links.
I'm thinking it's a piece of construction debris left over from the building of my house in 1968 but I've never seen anything like this from a construction site. I found it about thirty feet from the foundation of my house. I'm going to try and wire brush the flat pieces and see if I can find any printing on it. I think the metal is so heavily pitted with rust that it may not be possible to reveal any clues as to what this might be.
Any guesses?
