I believe it’s part of a property marker, with M.H.D. Being the Minn. Highway Department.

Well, I can’t seem to find what S.R.P. stands for, but something survey related. They make references to S.R.P. discs in the diagram here: ftp://cassweb3.co.cass.mn.us/Surveyor/GovernmentCornerCertificateOfLocation/A000591932.pdf

There's one made of aluminum nailed to an old corner wood post barbed wire fence out in the field behind where I live. I do believe those have something to do with property lines.

It was found close to the property stake metal sign that shows the Oronoco park property line or border.
Found about 10 feet away.
Maybe they used wood post back in the early 1900's . This was once State Park property. Now city.
It was a baseball field in 1920's.
