greasemonkey Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I`ve just moved house and while clearing years of garden waste I found these odd things . they are made from steel slag ,saucer shaped,about 6 or so across and seem to be moulded.There was an old cottage on the site, could it be some form of decoration? Any suggestions would be welcome as I`m reluctant to scrap them but I am curious to what they could be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huxley Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Didn't they put things like this on the end of steel rods that strengthened walls of old buildings? like reinforcing bars with studs on the end going through walls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a very many variations but all did the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
