It is whats left of a steel trap.

you've got part of an old trap there. I don't know a lot about them, but there are some folks here who might be able to tell you more about it.

It may have the name of the manufacturer on the bottom. If you clean it up good, you may find it. I like old traps. Nice find!!

Yeah, you can mark this one solved, those guys are right.

Oh man... I hate digging those traps, I hit a spot up one time along a creek bed and dug a bunch of 3 ringer bullets along with about 15 vintage game traps! WhOa!! This may be an old Victor game trap, Victor co. made a lotx100 traps up to today.

The manufacturers name would have been on the trap pan and since the pan is gone you won't know who made it. I like finding old traps. I actually found a couple of mine other the years that an animal pulled out and dragged away.
