✅ SOLVED Rim off of a wagon?

Maybe an old rim off of a wagon? Found it at the bottom of a hill by a natural stream in east Texas.

I can't tell how large the wheel is from the pictures, but I agree, it looks like a tire off a wagon or buggy wheel.

It is hard to tell as BosnMate says, but to me, it appears too thick to be a buggy rim, and not wide enough to be a wagon rim, and it also appears as though there are remnants of metal spokes. My guess is that it is the remains of a farm implement wheel of some nature, similar to the one pictured below.

It probably is a farm wheel. Out here in Iowa that kind of stuff is in every forest and public land. Farmers dump all there unwanted machinery or parts in the woods or by waterways. This last deer season I came across 2 old combines and an old truck in the middle of no where.

If the trucks & combine were in the midle of nowhere here, the meth head scrappers would have hauled it off. How far NW Iowa? I usta work for outfit in Rock Rapids.

thanks for the feedback, sorry about the awful photos, but I didn't have my camera with me, just my little flip video camera, so I got still shots off the video. I didn't have a tape measure with me either and I am the worlds worst guesser when it comes to sizes! I think that your right on the money and I agree the spokes look right for this rim.
I will consider this solved! Thanks again.
