🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Battery or bomb ?

[Fireflash]

Found in the woods next to an old grave. Roughly the size of a 1 gallon milk jug. Pretty heavy - maybe 25-30 pounds. Any markings appear to be rusted away.

it reminds me of a refrigerator compressor more pics would be helpful , is it real heavy for it's size ? more pics of those attachment points please.

My guess is old AC compressor.

Edit: Ticndig beat me to it AND probably got it right. I agree. Refrigerator compressor.

Just as another possibility,how about an old Butane tank? Like on real old Butane fueled tractors?

Definitely some old type of compressor could even be from an A/C.

My dad was a refrigeration technician. I vote for old compressor also.
