Found this after a short stop at a road side park, took about a 30min break and decided to swing the detector for a bit, found this ,looks like an old printer plate it says " For Rapid, Thorough Disking" then allot of small writing about the item and then in large print again it says" John Deere Saddle Action, Horse Drawn Disc Harrow" some of the writing is cut off, it read zinc looks like it has copper plating its was about 7 inches down. any ideas of history?

I think it might be very collectable Because it Say's John Deere on it, need to straighten it a little before trying to print with it
