I Forge Iron

Bought a lot and during some landscaping found an odd shaped piece of cast iron. Any ideas what it may be from?

Poor pictures. Have a feeling I have seen something like it someplace on the net recently, just not sure.

Looks like some kind of screen for a farm impliment. If it's cast it's either a drain grate, or a sifter of some sort for an impliment. If it's pressed it may be a peice of a light. I've seen an old light with something like that in it, just much smaller thickness

  Thanks.  Wonder if it came from a local mine,  Certainly enough of them around.  Found part of a riveted chimney next to a deep trench that led to a shaft when buddies and I were out riding our bikes one time.  There was a small pad for some sort of power plant and a 45 gal drum with a handle like a pail on it.   I should go for a ride and get a few pics and go up the other side of the mountain from the open pit where the blacksmith cabin was. Really need to check it out again now that I kinda know what I am looking at. 

 

 Had a buddy over watching me make something the other day Swede,  he was wearing sandals :)  every now and again it was the hop skip and dance away.  I know better than to throw heavy stuff around with my little piggies poking out.  always seem to get them if I do.
