✅ SOLVED Brass rings

[daddy duncan]

I`m new to detecting, just getting into it. Having a great time trying to learn the hobby. Just joined and this is my first post. I am from Nova Scotia Canada, retired and plenty of time on my hands . Found these two brass rings, one a week ago and the other today. Both came out of old fields about 15 miles apart. I used my first silver coin find so you could see the size. One ring is slightly bigger than the other, but they are exactly alike. I think that they are parts of a horse or oxen harness??. I also found a 1919 large penny and 2 brass shotgun shells in the field where I found the second ring today.

The more-specific ID is a gag loop swivel... part of a horse's bridle harness. They are from after the civil war ended... late-1800s-through early-1900s.See the diagram in the 1909 Pittsburgh Harness Supply Co. catalog.
