Windmill weight?

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

It might be, but I'm not up-to-speed on those things. However, I'll make an uneducated guess that it's a football.

lol i wish. Sometimes I really stick my foot in my mouth, but generally, I like to make people chuckle. It's healthy, and in these times, helpful.
