Curious if anyone has any idea what it might be. Sure looks like some sort of slugs in an iron casing.

Gist pic looks a bit like rivets. How thick is the rusty piece?

It doesn’t look like a bomb fragment. Those are usually all steel, but can have things like ball bearings embedded in the casing.
Not to mention that our area was not a bombing range for Luke. Those are further south. Not that a passing aircraft could jettison ordnance in the case of an in flight emergency while headed to the bombing ranges, but…

Well I think it came in with the semi full of decorative rock when we had the backyard landscaped.

They do not look like any .50 cal. ordnance that I know of... certainly not belt fed stuff for a Ma Deuce, disintegrating metal links or cloth belted .
