What is this?

Hello, my partner is taking up the decking and evening out the ground underneath and has found this. It is VERY heavy and maybe 1.5 feet in length. Looks to be rusted so I assume metal.

Any idea what it is or why it's there?

Definitely the missing gold bar from the Brinks Mat robbery (or a disused temporary fence weight)

@MrsEricBana if only it was a gold bar!
I thought that but it doesn't look as big as the ones I've seen before 🤷

Is it on its side? A weight?

Looks like a weight that you tie things to to anchor them down.

Tractor weight perhaps?

It's some kind of weight. They use something similar these days as a foot for that temporary metal fencing.
