Possibly an exhaust manifold from an antique automotive or tractor engine. It looks like it was wedged between the trees many years ago and they grew around it.

I agree! If it were not for two exhaust ports, it would make a great seat for viewing wildlife or a hunting setup but as is, it would be very hard on the bum.

Trees can grow fast... I have a picture of my dad swimming at the age of 5 in a cattle troff in about 1940. Today it is being crushed by two very large trees... Trees grow fast. If you knew what type of tree those are you should be able to dial in on when it was placed there.

Those trees are obviously sharing a three bowled peace pipe.
