Found this in my backyard using a metal detector

[ldeli]

Hello,

I rented a metal detector and found these in my backyard about 6 inches deep. Not sure what it is, the rings don't move.

The small one may be a horse shoe, perhaps?

Anyone have any ideas?

Location: Philadelphia

Thanks!

1st - I noticed this was your very first post ldeli - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - It is always helpful to provide the location of the found item when asking for help...

Looks like you have a horse shoe that has been worn in two.

Looks more like a heel plate to me.

The small one reminds me of things I've seen identified in metal detecting videos as toe or heel taps from tap dancing shoes.
