Looks like aircraft parts.
Turned out to be a micro crash site.
This piece had a part number starting with prefix 59. Looked it up when I got home and came up with a AT-6.
This tire doesn't look like it came off a AT-6.
It was small and had a speed rating of 210 knots, looks like it's a nose wheel from a jet.
Don't think that AT-6's had anti-spin drag chute. Maybe that wasn't a part number on that piece.
View of the site.
While driving north from the runway, I saw this desert tortoise next to the road. Looks like he just came out of hibernation, there's still dirt on his back from the burrow.
The first thing I notice when I got to the target area was a lot of 20mm bullets scattered all over.
There was also a few pieces of practice bombs.
