id on Artifacts?

Any idea what these items are and how old they might be? Found in the woods near a field in Arkansas. the area they were found has a lot of sign of logging activity as well

That ring absolutely looks like horse tack, possibly a saddle buckle?? The bent piece looks too small to be a stirrup or carriage step, but could also be horse tack related...

The pointed object looks a lot like the slaters chisels I find in my area, is that a bolt on top or just a squared off head? Around here they used them to separate slabs of slate into thinner sheets for shingles, blackboards, steeping stones etc.

I'll watch for others replies to see what they think as well. Id'ing this stuff is almost as much fun as digging it.

thanks for the reply! I don't see any threads on the pointed object to indicate that it has a bolt or not but its hard to tell since its so rusted. I don't know if it was noticeable in the pictures but the pointed object has a groove at the end that appears to part of how it was made

Third image is some of the hardware of a Double Tree...? I donated an artifact almost like it, to our local museum. Yours is split down its length.

round item is a horse bit.

The bottom item looks like the end part of a strap for a barrel or tank to anchor it to a wagon or vehicle.

Round item is a lynch pin used on 3-point hitch pins on tractors/farm implements.
At least that's what it looks like, to me.

agreed

Round thing is definitely a part of a snaffle bit off of a horse bridle. The U shaped piece is part of a single tree horse/mule/ox yoke and the last piece looks like a part of a wagon axle. Nice pieces of history there.
