I have no idea for sure what it is but if form follows function I would make a couple of assertions:
1. it appears that it was built/ designed to be handled frequently. It costs more money to round edges of simple objects so they were probably rounded to make them more comfortable to handle.
2. It appears to have a handle on one side. Is there a handle on the opposing side? If so, I would assume it was designed to be portable and frequently handled.
3. The top appears to be designed to either spin. rotate, or depress. The amount of corrosion makes it difficult to tell.
4. there appears to be missing projections from both the wider center circle and the outer edge.
I suppose land mind would be possible but I wouldn't think they would come with carry handles.
top opening floor safe could be an option
some sort of lab equipment designed to remain stationary or retain heat maybe? kiln? centrifuge?

I was thinking it was an inground marker for land surveying. The protrusion on the side isn't a handle but to keep it from bein pulled up and the center part held a round engraved location marker.
