    Grist mill plates were not made from concrete, way too soft,

    also they do not have any other holes other than the axel hole with assorted drive cuts or a square central

    hole.

    Plus they are cut on an conical angle for the ground product to come out,

    the upper plate has a depression almost matching the bottom,

    but with larger clearance in the center for the product to move into it.

    The ones around here are made from granite, hard as hell.

    There were a lot of water driven grist mills around here from the 18th and 19th century.

    Do they do any mining in your part of Meatchicken?

    We have a couple of old wheels from a mining cart that look very similar to yours minus the cement.

    Playing around found more tractor parts this was work getting this out of the ground took about 30 minutes. Then the youngest found possible meteorite. I have playing around amateur detecting for 30 years and have not found anything like these rocks before.
    They also have a slight magnetic pull.
