Found today on the site of an old Indian camp. Does the iron piece look like a hand forged horse bridle part? IMG_1403.JPG

Hand forged, yes, but certainly not part of a horse bit.

Maybe a pot hook to hang over a campfire?

I like that theory, I couldn't work out what the internal spikes where for, riveting the pot!
