A while ago I posted what turned out to be a rim off of a Horse Buggy, I found this in the same general area. Is this off of a kids toy wagon?

I am digging in the woods in East Texas (12 Miles of mostly woods) I am in Franklin County Texas on a private ranch. There was one homestead here in the early 1900's. I was told that there may have been a moonshine operation in a specific area here, but after 6 months of detecting, I see no proof of that. I found an area where I believe I have found a second and even a third homestead, but I can only base that on my findings.
 

First of all, interesting find! I think that the axle width is too far apart for a toy wagon, and the shaft and wheel hubs are too large for a toy wagon also. Maybe an older model lawnmower?

The regular sized peddle car has a normal wheel/axle lenght of 16+- inches . I may be from one of those king size peddle cars.
