1920s dairy Farm

[R.Duck]

Recently bought 10 acres in Williamston MI that was originally a dairy farm.
Have not had the opportunity to do any detecting yet between winter and the move with tons of maintenance to be done but this weekend is the first run hope to post some cool finds.

It looks like you have the start of a serious G scale R/R in back yard..? Probably no MDing time with that hobby too.

Haven't had much time to get out the detector yet but found a few cool things like a milk bottle from the original dairy today while leaf blowing found this. Any thoughts?

Found these about 20 feet from the wheel. Someone mentioned a coal furnace part but this thing is aboit 150 lbs I am leaning towards possibly the same steam tractor as the wheel. Did find a picture of a Worthington hit and miss water pump that has a similar part.

I think the first piece is a flywheel with the middle broke out. It’s wider than the JD one I’m tired of using. You can repurpose it onto counterbalance for the celler door....
