Detective Work Needed!

Anyone have any idea as to what this is? It is not magnetic at all, and rang in as a 32 on the Equinox about 12" down on an athlete field. Thought it was going to be a silver half, but it turned out to be Andre the Giant's ring! It looks like it was not bent, just mounts at the angle that it is. Old hood ornament?

Hello Againstmywill. May be it is one of those, just older? --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-climbing_equipment#/media/File:Belaying8.jpg

Should have mentioned that it seems like it is brass...good heft to it. Does look similar, however. Also, I'm in FL.😁 Thanks

Some Tack to guide reins on larger teams? Wikipedia has a picture: "breastcollar harness and bridle". Googled breastcollar harness, and several pictures have rings to guide reins...

My guess as well. Google earth may reveal what that field used to be in years past.

Horse reins guide , called a terret ring . Most likely had a threaded shaft where the broken spot is . Found a few here , mostly turn up on older sites .

If you found it close to the beach it could be an eyelet from an old deep sea rod, most of those are brass and stainless. The way it is bent at the bottom it sure looks like the ones I used to have. Some of those heavy duty ones for the bottom eyelets can weigh a few ounces.

I could be wrong, but that is another item to think about.

Would guess a broken reign guide. Keep searching, promising area/sign.
