Hello everyone!! This is my first post. I have been detecting about a year and a half. I use a White's M-6. I mainly relic hunt on old farm house sites. I found this item yesterday. Not sure what is is thought? Some friends think it might be a spur or a piece of a horse bridle. If anyone knows what this is and/or the age, feel free to comment.

I think it is brass now that I have cleaned it more. Its fairly heavy.
